8 point favorites at KState

[Bucky Dog]

And it’s moving up. I don’t won’t this and KState’s narrow escape over South Dakota have us over confident. I’m sure they will be a much different team come Saturday.

If they play better AND we play better which I feel we will....KState is in for a world of pain.

I think we are going to run all over em.

And passing isn’t their strong suit, so they won’t be taking advantage of our only potential weakness you wouldn’t think

Been saying it all year we will beat their *** by at least 2 TDs. The score will be closer than what actually happens on the field. Something like MSU 35-17.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Right. Unless that game was the sandbag of the century.

 

[Bucky Dog]

Yeah I’m thinking we need to put a 20 point beating on them. Come out fired up and get after them early.

I re-watched their game from last night.

They are pretty slow & unathletic.

I'm sure the Wizard will have a good plan & give us a fight early, but so long as we don't turn it over 4 times & a Big 12 crew doesn't go in dry on us, I think we come away with a 2 TD+ win

Only way our D gives up 17 is garbage time points. I agree that we roll though.

Combine that with the fact that even their fans were complaining about how slow they were running the ball and we should cover easily.

Wasn’t that line at 3 over the summer? Pretty big jump.

Should be a neutral crew in interconference play ... I think. Although the game with Brigham Young a few years ago comes to mind ....

We went from -6 to -9.5 in about an hour. Someone did a horrible job of setting the initial spread.

Usually the visiting team brings the refs in P5 non-conference games. Typically you would see an SEC crew in Manhattan, and then next year you'd see a Big 12 crew in Vegas.

I’ll bump this here.

I expect our game with Kansas State to follow the same formula as the LSU/Miami game. Minus the fourth quarter slump by LSU and with much better offensive production. State wins big in Manhattan. 48-10. Damn them dead Indians.

 

[RPOdawg]

I got it at -7. I took out my future unborn children’s college fund and put it all on the dawgs. I suggest you all do the same because KSU is hot garbage.

I just watched the highlights of their game with South Dakota.

1. South Dakota isnt shabby and while I dont think we would have had that close of a game with them, SFA isnt near the test SD was for KSU.

2. KSU is running a 2 qb system with one being the running qb and one the better passer. They are decent, but the OL for KSU is pedestrian. Not horrible, but not an SEC type OL.

3. KSU's defense was alot of zone. This will be a good test of Joe's qb to read the safeties and make the correct throw.

4. The guy that returned the punt for the TD has some good speed and so does the running qb, but outside of that they dont have very much team speed.

5. They struggled for 3 1/2 quarters in the red zone only scoring 1 touchdown from it. They had to kick 4 field goals due to drive stalls.

Turnovers really bit KSU in this game and they were the better team, but i'm confident that our D will dictate field position. Look for us to try to pass early to get them off the line of scrimmage. Then for Fitz to start running all over them.

If Fitz struggles with incompletions, we will be able to run, but the score could be lower.

I tend to think like the poster who said that Fitz and Guidry will be looking to make a splash after the 1st game no shows and might take chances they wouldnt vs SEC opponents.

My eyes will be on Peters and how he responds to a sub par game. How the linebackers cover the short passes and qb runs.

I dont think a big score for us is the necessary element we need to look for. 30 point range will be fine. Staying away from the turnover bug and limiting their plays over 20 yards will tell me what I need to know.

I read a page or two of their fan comment blog. My vote is to lay everything we can on them. Once Joe gets us ahead, keep the hammer down and do a Steve Spurrier on them. If we are moving toward the end zone with 30 seconds left and a 3 TD lead, call time out so we can score (Another) because, "The guys need practice in how to do it since we might have a game someday where they must."


I'd be happy to see 60-3 and a SI cover with Nick's photo next week.
