WEST VIRGINIA TODAY
-
Ok that worked never mind
-
Can we ask for a review on calls like the head to head?
-
If KU kicks deep, best case is they get the ball back with around 1:20 left around their own 30-35 yard line.
I don’t trust the defense to go 3 and out now so I’d onside it and hope for the best.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 rubber bands are down counters I believe
-
@DanR oh, I figured it was important. Thx
-
Kind of need wvu to goof up
-
@DanR Pretty much as this point.
-
Best case now is KU gets the ball back with about 30 seconds left.
-
Herbert went 80 in 1 play last week, let’s get it
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I think repeating Parchment’s TD is more likely.
-
Pooka in a prevent d would be ok
-
I’m trying to say we can do it
-
Carter is a bit amped
-
Well
-
@DanR Over compensating for the pick because that was underthrown.
-
Oh man
-
Parchment shouldn’t have hesitated on that pitch, Pooka had a cut back open.
-
No moral victories! Who is this guy?
-
I liked the play call considering Stanley’s arm and WVU wasn’t expecting the hook and lateral.
-
Fun game. Just no room for errors
-
They played hard, Stanley’s INT was super costly but it was a great play by the defense. Hard to be too upset. We had our chances. On to TCU.
-
The defense had too much trouble on third down.
-
I’m upset!
-
Play calling was crappy
-
I don’t like the announcers either!
-
You guys watching the post game?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 the wasted 35 seconds on the 5 yard line with 2 runs. I said in my prediction we dont cough it up, we would win and little doubt that we would’ve without the 2 TOs. But yes I’d be perfectly fine with a new OC after this season. We tried to run way to much in the first half. You can be stuffed on 1st so many times before a smart coach changes it up.
-
WV rushed for more yards than KU did, 192 to 142. That plus our 2 turnovers to 0 for WV sums up this loss.
-
@stoptheflop KU had more total yards but the really story was the turnovers. Time of possession wasnt helping a tired defense either.
-
@kjayhawks we did last week, but then again we ran better last week
-
Turnovers are a big difference this year. KU is -6 on the year now in turnover margin.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Ya but that was last week. “Doing the samething over and over while expecting a different result is insanity” Thomas Jefferson. We figured it out just a quarter too late.
-
Yep
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 the reason why we are 2-2 and not 4-0 to be honest. The defense broke a bit much today but the decks stacked against you when the other team starts inside your 40 3 times.

YES
-
I guess the refs missed a punt that hit a foot too.
-
KU would be 4-0 with Peyton Bender at QB this year.
-
@kjayhawks WVU only started one drive inside KU’s 40 and that was the first onside kick. They had a couple of other drives that started on KU’s side, but only one inside the 40. The Carter Stanley INT did lead to what was the game winning TD for WVU. KU had scored on the previous two drives before the pick and scored after the pick, so it’s a safe bet KU would’ve scored on that force without the pick as well.
Turnovers lost the game for KU tonight.
-
Better play calling first half should’ve scored us a few more td’s and kept the D off.

Or Todd Reesing. Both of whom have the same amount of eligibility. And FWIW, Stanley has a QBR of 89 and 72 the last 2 games. Bender only had one above 60 once. Stanley makes plays Bender never could, but admittedly turns it over too often.
I’m encouraged at where we’re at. This team would’ve quit under Beaty. Today they fought like hell and clawed back every time. I can’t help but think what we could’ve done on the last drive with 40 more seconds or had there been a no call on the first onside kick attempt or the 4th down PI. I think the staff is still figuring out exactly what they have and how they can use Pooka and Parchment. The OL is much worse than last year, but they were better tonight than against CC. Defense was really good for how many snaps they played.
I still think 4 wins is a reasonable goal. Any more is a big bonus.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Yep that what I predicted. Stanley has been solid, he just has to hold on the ball. 5 turnovers in the last 3 games just doesn’t cut it at this level.

For sure. A couple were flukey. I think they should’ve reviewed his fumble since it looked like his arm was coming forward. I do really like that he’s tucking and running more. Stanley as a statue is a bad QB (see Coastal). But as a dual threat he makes the whole thing work a lot better.
-
The forward pass this week and against CC I don’t get. Must be some rule change because the ball went forward both times. 5 yards today. ?
-
I hope @Texas-Hawk-10 will let me know what the rule is.
-
@DanR I thought they both were passes, no question. I dont see how they weren’t reviewed or the obvious helmet to helmet hit tonight. I’m working on our spare bedroom and rewatching the game. The pass inference on 4th down against Defense was pretty weak aswell. It just seems like when it rains it pours, think back to the CC 4th down when pooka was held literally 6 feet from an official. I’ve counted 16 plays so far where WV DBs have pulled ours Jerseys without a flag. I’m frustrated because anytime we get a questionable call in basketball, its front page news for 6 weeks. I’d really like to see officials start to take some credibility for shit calls. They make a pretty damn good living to not have to explain a damn thing.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Peyton Bender committed 3 turnovers all of last year. Carter Stanley already has more. I’ve never argued that Bender was an elite QB, but he had two attributes that allowed KU to win 3 games last year. He protected the football and didn’t take a lot of bad sacks. Bender was an adequate game manager that was a respected enough passer that defenses couldn’t load up against the run.
Carter Stanley doesn’t have either of those traits. Stanley had another bad game today that cost KU a victory they should’ve had. I don’t see KU winning 4 games this year with Stanley at QB because he isn’t good enough. He’s only had two good games in his career at KU. There’s a reason he could never take the starting job from Cozart or Bender.
KU maybe wins one more game at this point.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Bender was the better QB IMO. I still think we can get a few more wins tho.

I gotchu (https://ibb.co/BKxxh7F)

@DanR this is the official rule: When [an offensive] player is holding the ball to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of his arm starts a forward pass, even if the player loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body. Also, if the player has tucked the ball into his body and then loses possession, is incomplete. I just rewatched Bradys fumble on youtube and it looks more like a fumble than both of Carter’s. That’s one if my first tell-tale that the NFL is rigged. Change the rule book to justify a BS call.

He actually committed 5. Lost 2 fumbles and threw 3 picks. Bender cost KU a possible win last year against KSU when he fumbled for like… no reason. I never said Stanley was elite. I’d give him 3 good games. WV in 16, then the last 2. And look, I get that he never took the job. But Beaty was deciding who the guy was and I’m not sure that’s the best metric re: player evaluation.
