Does anyone care to predict the CMU game?
-
Unless the OLine makes a drastic improvement from last week, the streak is going to 47. Maybe I need to re-enroll at KU since the 2009 football season was my senior year there.
-
I agree. How well the OL plays will dictate how the game develops.
-
The line opened up making us 7 point road dogs, and it has since dropped to 3 1/2. I think we lose by 20.

Drastically is 100 % right. - these guys have JUST GOT to be beter
-
I would really like the team to surprise me but, if it cannot beat Nicholls State at home, chances are it will not beat CMU on the road. I am afraid the streak will get one game longer. A marked OL improvement and the game is a toss up, if the same OL shows up then it is a 2 TD loss.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 that’s a crazy idea, but it just may work! Lol
-
Vegas sharps have flooded bets on KU. But I put money on CMU. I would have laid points if I could have honestly. I expect a 10+ point loss.

This is some weird shit. I’d be all over CMU at -3.5
-
@BShark Lol I thought the same thing. I really did put some money on CMU. It’ll at least make me watch some of the game this way haha.
-
@Kcmatt7 I didn’t notice the dip in time or I likely would have put most of my winnings from betting on Nicholls last week on CMU. Wasn’t going to touch it near a TD.
-
@BShark I got in at -3.
My buddy who lives in NYC texted me last week: “New college football season means betting against Kansas pays for my rent.”
He ain’t wrong lol.
-
Pooka Williams with the start and the carry on the first play.
-
What channel is it on?
-
@Kcmatt7 No broadcast coverage; only on ESPN+. I’m going old school and listening to the radio.
-
@stoptheflop Well we’d appreciate any big updates. I’m going to watch that Nebraska v Colorado game after Houston hopefully closes out this Arizona game.
-
Neither team has been able to gain a second first down. Each team has two punts. KU is on offense at our 47; 3rd and short
-
OLine still sucks bad, CMU will eventually win this one. Nicholls is better than CMU though, so if KU can protect the ball, they might have a chance to steal this game.
-
End of Q1. No score. Another exchange of punts. KU will start Q2 with the ball on our 20. Our defense has been able to stop C Mich. But, our offense continues to struggle from penalties and poor O line play.
-
Espn plus stream is crap. Jerky to the point of unwatchable.
-
Defense has played well but they can’t hold CMU scoreless all day. Offense would be in better had penalties not halted drives
-
This post is deleted!
-
Bender start?
-
I guess he did. Need to just play Kendrick and commit to the run like they said they would.
-
Should’ve gone for it there, not much to lose at this point.
-
Watching the KSU MSU game today, I really think we just need to find a giant athlete to put at QB and run him 20 times. Fitzgerald dominated that game on the ground. Has to be a few guys out there who can’t throw at a D1 level but tackling them is like trying to tackle a brick wall.
Sort of related note, when the Royals give up on Bubba, I’d offer him a scholarship in a heart beat.
-
Bender did start. Looks bad
-
@Kcmatt7 Starling committed to Nebraska out of high school
-
Good field position after a penalty on punt return. See what happens
-
Gain 7-8 yards and Rui should be able to put KU up 3-0. That’s the one aspect of this team I actually feel confident in. Rui is a very reliable kicker with good range.
-
Nine punts so far!

A truly riveting game of oblong ball.
-
KU touchdown
-
31 yd td pass wide open
-
Blown coverage on that TD
-
Both of these teams are rancid but CMU might be worse which is saying something. I remember seeing that CMU has a few players out this first half because of ejections last week.
-
The defense is stopping C Mich. C Mich only has about 50 yds total offense. KU ball on its 24.
-
I guess Chanel 38 in KC broadcasts only the home games? Not getting ESPN+, might get the trial 7 day during the basketball season if there is a preseason game not carried on Chanel 38. Following the game on ESPN gamecast.
-
Kendrick in
-
15 yd pass

Only the first game was a Jayhawk TV game. They only get the 1 football game.

All other games should be part of the Big 12 deal and I bet ESPN relegates most they have to their ESPN+ service.
Late Night is actually included in this as well which is really cool.
I think overall ESPN+ is worth it but not for just KU football games.
-
@DanR Kinda strange: Bender leads KU to a touchdown, then the next series, Beaty puts Kendrick in. But, we are moving the ball.
-
@Kcmatt7 yes
-
Colorado’s QB is a future NFL QB imo.
-
@BShark Because this game is at CMU, the broadcast of this game is based on the MAC TV deal, not the B12 deal.
-
And Nebraska’s may be a future Heisman. True freshman. Crazy talented. Nebraska will be a powerhouse again in no time.
-
Lot of strategy about a punt
-
Looks like all the basketball games and Late Night will be on on KMCI 38 while Spectrum does replays…
-
I think it’s only a matter of time before Kendrick is our QB. Bender has done good today of taking what us given and not forcing but kendrick can throw it well on the run.
-
@kjayhawks It’ll depend on turnovers. Bender has done a good job of not turning the ball over so far and if he protects the ball like that the rest of the year, that’ll help KU out more.
-
Tua is the Heisman this year. And Bama won’t have anyone come within 21 points of them.
