Kansas rolls their qb out a lot and he's in the shotgun a lot. It can be done.

Not saying it can't. Just saying we aren't doing it.

All you run the ball people need to get ready in the future to have a real big 12 team kill A-Rob. We have ran good against crappy teams. We need to get the passing game on track or we are in for some ruff times in the next few years.

just trying to figure what is goin through everyone's heads.

and the bolded part kinda makes me mad. I dont hate AA, i hope that maybe what you meant to say is that i dont want him on the field. AA is a great guy and no doubt a leader. so no i do not HATE AA. anyone who literally hates a football player is kinda a ******

I think what's going through our heads is the last few games of last year when he was a stud. We know what he CAN do and we refuse to give up on him like you evidently have.

Passing for 440 yards against KSU's defense from last year is not that great of an accomplishment. Our defense was ranked 117th last year out of 120 teams.

I really think we have some skill guys who need to start showing some skill. We do not appear to be running good crisp routes to create a little separation to give Austen something to throw at.

learning a new system doesnt mean that he has to miss receivers as bad as he does.

If they are not thinking the same play it does.

That would make it harder to be in sync.

It's not like that Army offense, where Villanueva runs the same 2 routes all game long.

I don't think we are going to see a better defense than Iowa's. Neb will be the toughest. We were able to run well vs Iowa, mainly due to their strategy to play coverage instead of focus on stopping the run. We have been fairly balanced in our attack so far.
Rushing: 829 net yds/5.2 ave/38 1st dns/7 TD's
Passing: 696 yds /14 ave/35 1st dns /5 TD's

If we make good decisions, taking what is there, we can do well as long as we take care of the football. If our opponents spread it out to defend the whole field, we can run and look for mis-matches in the passing game. If they increase their hats in the box, we can go over the top with play action. What we can't do is force the ball into coverage. If the Big XII teams try to focus on the run and make us beat them with passing - we will.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but several times against Army our receivers slipped on their routes. I remember at least 2 where the pass looked like it was where it was supposed to be but Jake Williams was on the ground. 2 more completions and AA is 13 for 20. I think most teams would be happy with 65% completions unless your name is McCoy, Bradford or whoever is at QB for Texas Tech. If AA improves a little bit each game we will be ok.

Yeah, I saw that too. The play by play and color guys commented before the game they thought the surface might be a little slick. You're right. Tath pass to Jake would have been good without the slip. Army was a good game for us. If we play that well vs K State, we should win.

Still not convinced that Kansas St, Colorado, and, after last week, Baylor, qualify in your argument of facing "real Big 12 teams"...
