Coastal Carolina Chanticleers

@HighEliteMajor I agree that journalism is in a bad way. If I’m ever back in Kansas during a buckets meetup I’ve got stories upon stories of journalistic malpractice from the Star.
Only point I’m making re: Newell is he still sells himself as a beat writer but doesn’t actually do that job. He’s basically an opinion guy now. Which is totally fine, I’m loathe to tell anyone what to print. Jesse just still says one every outlet he’s a straight reporter. Just be honest about it!
Bedore is an old fashioned reporter who values access, as most reporters do. I will gift credit to guys like John Hanna at the AP who also fits that mold. He was a pain in my rear end at one point but he was always fair and made the effort to get to know his subjects and be informed on the issues.

Finally, it’s game day. CC relied almost exclusively on #1 Marable at RB last week, 18 rushes for 49 yds. Marable is 5’10", 190 lbs. and a Junior. He was their leading rusher last year, 719 yds. Marable is also used as a receiver; last week-7 receptions for 84 yds. The QB is also used in the rushing game. With Pooka back, as long as the Oline does a better job, this should be a solid win for us. If we struggle against CC, like we did against ISU, it will be a very long year.

Does anyone know what the spread is on the game?

KU -7

Just watching some early games today, WV stinks and we should be able to give them a game IMO. KSU looks better than they have been since 2012. They will easily make a bowl and probably trounce us unfortunately. Jax Dineen is playing plenty for them and looking good, which is disappointing for us.
-
Carter Stanley’s decision making keeping it a game, has 15 yards of green in front of on first down. Instead of running he throws a pick into double coverage at the goal line. SMH that’s a salvation army level play by a redshirt senior.
-
Ugh! I’m not seeing any improvement on either side of the ball. Way too conservative on offense.
-
Welp
-
@stoptheflop I missed the first drive, but the reason the offense is conservative is because Carter Stanley can’t pass. He makes terrible decisions and gets spooked too soon. That second INT was an absolutely horrible decision by Stanley because he missed his window to hit Parchment. This really makes me wonder just how bad MacVittie looked in camp if he couldn’t beat Stanley out.
There’s no reason for opposing defenses to respect KU’s passing game as long as Stanley is the QB.
This is the difference between Stanley and Bender last year. Bender protected the football, made smart decisions, and was at least a good enough passer that defenses had to respect that. If I’m a defensive coordinator scheming against Stanley, I would have all my players within 10 yards to focus on the run and play man defense on the receivers exclusively because Carter Stanley isn’t beating anyone with his arm.
-
Not a good 4th down call. Just sneak it!
-
Another terrible 4th down call. That also shows how little confidence the staff has in the kicking game right now. No other reason not to kick a FG there with 14 minutes left.
-
Les Miles does many things well, but clock management has never been one of his strengths as a coach.
-
Obvious missed hold on the 4th down, still insanely stupid to burn all TOs on it.
-
That’s game folks
-
@kjayhawks Not yet, but I’m not holding my breath either though.
-
Now I’ll call game after that third failure on 4th down.
-
Beaty>Miles at this point piss poor play calling. Let’s get a QB that high school level.
-
We ain’t winning another game this season folks.
-
@kjayhawks Les Miles is a far superior coach to David Beaty. The biggest issue is KU doesn’t have a QB right now. Carter Stanley is a back up QB and I’ve been saying that for 4 years.
Hopefully Miles hands the reigns to Torry Locklin at some point this season because he’s the future at QB.
-
Carter Stanley sucks ass and that’s being nice.
-
@kjayhawks Have you watched West Virginia yet? They might actually be worse than KU.
I’m also never going to rule out upsetting TCU because KU plays them close basically every year for whatever reason.
-
I did and I think we can play with them but I’m not picking another win that’s for sure.
-
I hope with start someone else at QB and fire the OC on monday. I think we attempted 5 passes in the second half. Very little play action, one roll out that I can recall we got out coached tonight. You will never convince me of otherwise.
-
I feel for the Defense, they only let up 291 yards, 12 points and held them to 1 of 9 on 3rds down but still got beat.
-
Pooka is gone according to his dad at the game.
-
You cant lose this game. This loss alone loses 5 recruits. And I’ll eat my words if I’m not right. This program is toxic until they win some mf games. I didn’t get to watch a snap, but Stanley shouldn’t have ever started. Locking should have been the guy from day 1. The “he couldn’t handle it” excise is tired when you see freshman succeed all over the country. Freshman won a NC last season.
Start the better player.
-
@kjayhawks A competent QB would make a world of difference with this team. That really is the biggest thing they’re missing on offense
The defense also doesn’t have the personnel to run a 3-4. They don’t have a NT to plug the middle or a big DE to stop the run. The LB’s are solid and KU’s secondary one of the best in the conference.
That 4th down sequence when Miles used the last two timeouts happened because he has zero faith in the kicking game right now.
A QB is the biggest game changing player in team sports and KU doesn’t have one right now.
I’m not gonna call for any heads yet, but there should be a change at QB because Stanley is a back up at best.
-
@Kcmatt7 He was a big factor in the loss, 2 picks, one with at least 10 yards of running in front of him. Not having a kicker was costly as well. @Texas-Hawk-10 I agree man, I’m just ticked because we should’ve won tonight.
-
@Kcmatt7 Lawrence didn’t begin the season as the starting QB though last season for Clemson, Kelly Bryant started the season at QB. Similar deal with Hurts and Tua and Bama. Tua didn’t play much his freshman year until the very end when he won the job.

Yea I followed along as much as I could (at a wedding). The guy just doesn’t have the zip. I’ve legitimately seen better QB play at the NAIA level.
You should put up more than 12 points on a D1AA team. Defense could be better, but 7 points is a F-ING joke
-
@kjayhawks We should have, but when you change philosophies on offense, it takes time to get the personnel in to run that system and KU doesn’t have the personnel to run what Miles and Koenning want to run on offense at this time.
It sucks because these are growing pains that look much worse when you’re already a bad program.

Not similar. Hurts played all season until the very last quarter of the NC.
Lawrence played every other series to start last season. Dabo was just nice enough to let Bryant try to win the job.
I gamble a lot, and Clemson is a good bet. So I watch them a lot.

@Kcmatt7 Coastal isn’t FCS any more, they’ve been FBS for 3 years now and are a member of the Sun Belt.

It doesn’t even matter. Semantics. Sun Belt will never compete in an FBS bowl game. Might as well be FCS.
You can’t lose this game. Period. Make up whatever excuses you want.
-
Well Boys - - - - - - - -
-
@Kcmatt7 It’s not semantics because the Sun Belt is an FBS conference and has won plenty of FBS bowl games. The conference has even had plenty of huge upsets much bigger than tonight’s game.
There’s nobody trying to claim this isn’t a bad loss, but this wasn’t a loss to an FCS school.

It is the equivalent. Tell yourself whatever you want. This is exactly the loss Les needed to avoid this season.

Pretty sure he flies off the handle every loss.
-
@Kcmatt7 Keep lying to yourself because you’re pissed off.
If you want to keep claiming I’m making excuses, then go ahead and ignore the multiple times I’ve already said this is a bad loss due to not having a QB.
-
@FarmerJayhawk from what my friends(that sit with him) say that he definitely does. I honestly wouldn’t blame him at this point tho. Think of what he could do behind an average oline? Hopefully he was just venting I’m plenty frustrated myself as anyone can see lol.

It’s a dogshit, unacceptable, shitty, terrible, joke of a loss to a school we should never lose to even in our darkest of times.
Trying to bring up that they’re a 3rd rate conference instead of a 4th is trying to soften how bad of a loss it is.
-
Pooka should have left after last season if he was smart. Eligibility-wise.
-
@kjayhawks The OLine isn’t the issue. Stanley is so inept, there’s no reason to respect KU’s passing game as long as Stanley is QB so teams can load up against the run.
This is why Bender so important last year. He was a good enough QB that teams had to respect his passing which in turn opened up the running game a lot more.

Well the Two football teams I pull for - - KU - - & Green Bay Scored a whopping 17 points between them , One Won - -the Other lost
Funny but for some Reason I feel a lot better about Green Bays Chances for having a pretty good season - - - over KU’s winning another game - - - -Could be because Green Bay has Aaron - - KUhas Nobody – Looks like Green Bay has a decent Defense -KU might be ok on Defense - -YET - -at QB - - KU has NOBODY - -have a great night

Sure looks like it - -I watched West Virginia today - -they look like warm puke - -But then we have KU - -not sure what the hell we look like - -I thought we could beat West Virginia - - Now I say NOPE
-
@jayballer73 Not a fair comparison. KU doesn’t get to draft players!
-
I hope everyone calms down a bit. We all knew KU would be bad until Miles’ recruiting is seriously established. People have gone from “probably 0-12” to expecting rapid improvement. A comeback victory last week got everyone thinking, “Just maybe…”
No, maybe not. Be patient. If you are really upset, perhaps the expectations are too high.
