It’s gonna be a tough week for the ole ticker. Between basketball, football, and food. If I make it through the week, I can survive anything.

K-States run game, and particularly Johnson running the ball is going to be a big problem. Wouldn’t be shocked to see them break out a lot of option plays based on how bad we’ve been at stopping it so far. If we can shut down the run then I like our chances.

Completely agree.

That said, I am incredibly pessimistic currently about this game. Unless we finally are able to slow down the QB run... it might be a long game. Cause Avery might be the best running QB, outside of UCF's kid.

Its a winnable game but man... that is their strength versus our weakness. And while their defense is not great... IDK if a 42-41 game favors us or not.


I think we can win. And hopefully win. But man, the matchup is gonna be real interesting to watch when we are on defense

 

[CloniesForLife]

I'm very worried about how we match up against their run game and mobile QB but seems like the defense is a little healthier than against KU and the LBs especially are getting healthier and have some reps now. Dom Orange will play a huge part next week

Gotta figure out a way to be plus in the turnover battle. Look at what it did for Utah. They were getting just destroyed beyond 5-6 horrible mistakes.

 

[stewart092284]

That's the one saving grace about Avery. He can be turnover prone if he gets rattled.

For the love of god can people stop saying “killing the series”. If the series was killed we would not be playing K State permanently.

Oklahoma state/OU has been killed we are just not playing them for a year.

We haven’t been forcing turnovers as much lately. None against KU, one against cincy, one (which was a gift, not really forced) against Utah. Hoping it’s just things evening out and it swings back in our favor.

 

[madguy30]

I'm glad they had a good night vs. Cinci.

Gets ISU's attention and there's likely a lot of successful looks to study to counter.

 

[stewart092284]

Its just been such a weird last month. The rush defense being so bad, the injuries, the mistakes in terms of penalties and turnovers etc - leading to a 2-2 record.

It makes it really hard to figure out where this team's at. Like, if you said JR would be back at 80% and Ben's back at 85%... my confidence goes up. But without that knowledge, its hard for me to feel super confidence. It is at home and a night game, so that helps. But its got a weird feel right now for me

 

[ClonesFTW]

I will be placing a sizable wager on us to win; if we win it’ll pay for tickets in Arlington. If we lose I’ll save $1,000+ not going to Arlington. Just makes sense to do

 

[ClonesFTW]

The thing that I hate is that their strength matches our weakness; a running QB.

 

[stewart092284]

And he's a good enough passer where you can't simply sell out to stop the run. He's not a great passer, but he's not the UCF or Houston QB when we played them where it became really clear they couldn't throw the ball.

The ****** started in 1917 and had been uninterrupted since.

So you so you, but this is horsesh*t

We have so few real traditions and we're killing one. So, yes, we are killing the mother ******* series

This is where the professor makes his money.

 

[HFCS]

I honestly don’t have much dislike for KSU…until I remember they all think Tang is some super great guy.

Then I want a life of eternal misery for all of them.

Utah fumble was about as unforced as a fumble can be, as much as a bad snap.
