The college version of the NBA? That's such a garbage take. The good NBA teams all play defense. The ones who don't, generally don't win.
I didn't make my point clear but it doesn't matter. I never said they were a garbage team, they are a decent Big 12 team and the Big 12 puts all their emphasis on scoring, as does the NBA. Teams like the Warriors win because they score A LOT. That's all I meant. Yes, the good teams play defense but people don't go to NBA games to see the defense, they go for 3's and dunks.
KSU does not return 9 on offense and 9 on defense who played against competition that would make a Big 12 team crumble. They have a good line, but their 5 did not play against the SECW and that will show as the game progresses.
Guys, I'm sorry that I'm focusing more on the team we have than the team they have. Could they upset us? Sure. But think about how this team played down the stretch last year. Toe to Toe with Bama in spite of Mullenz shrinking back into his foreskin, nearly beating Ole Miss with our backup QB and throttling Louisville and their NFL 1st round QB.
So y'all forgive me if I have confidence in our team. They 17ing earned it.
