Ohio Bobcats



  • Torneden is not a D1 player.



  • @Texas-Hawk-10 they need to be a ton better then. I’m just saying they suck and lose their coach after not getting to a bowl again. Obviously after today hard to believe KU can win anymore games this year, maybe again with Beaty here.



  • Will Ohio U put up 50+ on KU today? Sheesh.



  • In boxing, a tomato can is a boxer with with few or no skills and no chance to win a fight that is selected by a contender to take a pounding and improve the opponent’s record.

    In basketball, there are a number of small programs that spend the first two months of the season traveling to play and take a pounding by bigger programs and earn a paycheck that provides the entire budget for the program.

    In football we have the cupcake programs that travel to play elite programs, take a pounding and collect a big check.

    I am afraid KU has become one of those programs and should start demanding big payouts to get pounded on the road.



  • @kjayhawks The evidence for Tech this year says they don’t suck as much as last year. I’m not calling them contenders because they aren’t, I’m saying they’re probably going to be a bowl team this year at 6 or 7 wins. The bottom half of the B12 this year is absolute crap. OU, OSU, KSU, and TCU are all 8+ win teams this year. OU and OSU are probably 11 win teams and probably going to play each other twice. WVU, Texas, and Tech are other teams that should reach bowl eligibility this year, and Baylor, ISU, and KU will probably only beat each other and all be a 4 or fewer wins this year.



  • Ohio 25 Kansas 14 at the half. Kansas has had their chances to be in the game a very costly face mask on a stopped third down lead to an easy touchdown with a first and goal from the 2 for Ohio and a shanked punt didn’t help. The offense has looked decent at times with 206 yards and no turnovers. The defense has just been a joke, for us to have a chance multiple turnovers this half.



  • Can we find receivers who stop tipping the ball to the defense?



  • @mayjay That was 100% on Bender for throwing behind Sims. Seems like every other pass Bender throws is behind his receiver.



  • Dang, this team is hard to watch. No bright spots. Barely any dim spots.



  • My day started off so well too.

  • This post is deleted!


  • Ohio players look like grown men.



  • @Texas-Hawk-10 Last week, too, not all of them impossibles. But the QB sure does make it hard for the receivers to make plays.

    KU needs to try quick passes over the middle on a short dropback. I keep seeing the receivers go over the line uncovered, then trying to stay open while the QB checks off.



  • @mayjay That pick was a slant route on a 3 step drop, can’t get a ball put much quicker than that.



  • Chase Harrell is starting to emerge as a very good receiver.

    Right now, I’d love to see a set with Harrell and Booker on the outside, and Sims and Ben Johnson inside on Booker’s side to try and get Harrell some single coverage.



  • Second and 23 and they allow a 24 yard run…SMH.



  • At least we appear to have a dependable FG kicker finally.



  • You know the offense hasn’t been terrible, if only we had last years secondary. We didn’t score over 21 points last year in regulation against FBS. If we had a D1 defense we would be in this game same as well as last week, most power 5 teams won’t let up more than 20 to a MAC club.



  • @Texas-Hawk-10 I was referring to my preferences for plays where he waits too long, not the pick!



  • KU played decently well offensively, had more yards and first downs than Ohio. A couple of 7 plus minute touchdown drives for Ohio when KU had them stopped if not for penalties. I have no idea how in gods name Bowen could keep his job after today. I can see progress on offense, Bender has now had 3 straight 340 plus yard games. He had a bad day last week but really today I’m ok with all but about 4 of his throws today and he had 6 drops passes and held on to the ball too long a few times but all in he’s the best we’ve had statistically since Ressing by a very very very long ways. No other QB has had a three game stretch with more TDs than INTs or anywhere near 1000 yards.



  • @kjayhawks Seems to have a really strong arm.



  • @Texas-Hawk-10 EWU lost at home 40-13 to NDSU they maybe a FCS playoff team but nothing more.



  • I really, really…really…wanted to believe the football team would be decent this season; obviously it’s is not. Honestly, I just don’t see a winnable game in the schedule. The last 3 games, @Texas, OU and @OSU are going to be painful to watch



  • @kjayhawks Tech is up 21-3 on Arizona St. after the 1st quarter, they are much better than you think they are.



  • @Texas-Hawk-10 you could be right we’ll see, boy I feel better seeing the mildcats lost.



  • Wow, Texas taking it to USC. USC had to kick a FG to tie the game with 2 seconds left and send it to OT.
