Texas tech
-
I’m not going to the game, but I’m interested in it. After last week’s offensive explosion that was reminiscent of the Boston College game, it will be interesting to see how the offense does against Tech. Secondly, will the defense even bother to show up today? KU just needed one defensive stop in the second half to pull off the win against Texas, but couldn’t do it. Special teams has not been a plus for us all year. That blocked extra point kick that turned into two points for Texas really was a heartbreaker. I sure hope KU puts all the pieces together this evening and gets a solid Big 12 home win. RC

The big key for us tonight is being able to take care of the ball - -no give aways. - - was listening to the Texas Tech play by play guy last night in an innerview with local sports guys here off Topeka radio - -he said they are good at taking the ball away - - creating turnovers - have like 9 in the last 3 games - -making the QB uncomfortable -we can’t afford to hand them the ball over and over and expect to win.
Carter has got to make good reads - -be smart - - he was saying that actually Texas Tech was actually feeling a little better with our change in OC and the RPO - -cause he said the RPO that this league plays almost weekly , so not really much new to prepare for this- -the key he said for them to win was obviously was containing Pooka. - said the kid is a freak with break away anytime he touches the ball. - -we just got to play smart - -Tech’s defense is better for sure then Texas - -we can win this thing if we play smart.- -let’s do this - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 Did you get to watch the BB exhibition game? We had a few people commenting during the game and I don’t recall seeing your observations. RC

ya I watched it for sure. - -just wasn’t here for the game chat - -seen some good , yet seen things that were along ways from good - -but it’s fine - were gonna be fine. - - Braun looks like he might be a little better then what some thought - -looks like he is going to be able to help.
one of my favorites Wilson showed he wasn’t afraid to shoot - -lol - -maybe not necessarily a good thing at this point , but in all seriousness I think once he starts to find himself -he too can help us a lot. - - -Enanura not spelt right sorry - -long - -long wingspan - everything looks like gonna come smooth - -maybe a nickname - - ( Smooth ) - -needs to find his shot - - - Freshman nerves -gonna take some time.
Abajbi dam spelt wrong again anyways - -looks like he might be ready to really bring it - - - Marcus shot looks ALOT better - -if he can bring any kind of consistency with his shot - - this team can become lethal - - David looked like a fish out of water the other night - - Yet when asked Coach Self said when asked who his most improved player was from last year to this – he said McCormack - - hands down - -we gonna be ok - - just take some work - -we got to remember - -they even had a line on THIS game - it was 32 - - we won by 30 and that was without probably our best player - - Dotson or Moss - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I’ve got a bad feeling about this one. 41-24 Tech. Got a fresh crow marinating just in case.
-
Sadly, I always have a bad feeling before every football game. Perhaps, KU is feeling some confidence from the offense’s success against Texas. But, the defense must play better to give us a chance.
-
I’m hoping we the fans will get out and back the team tonight. If we have less then 35-40,000 tonight will be a major disappointment.
It’s tie we let them know we are seeing they’re progress. - -ya ya I know - - am i going - - No - BUT because my truck is broke down and in the shop entire new clutch system - - yippee. - -these guys need our help let the opposing team there is some fire.
I say - -KU 34 - - -Tech 31 - - - -Tech is giving up 184.7 yards rushing per - -( 93 rd ) - - in the nation - - - an average of 4.57 per rush attmpt - -BUT we haven’t stopped anybody in their rushing - -we have got to get stops - -they average 150.7 yards rushing - that might not be good for us - -we are giving up 223.4 yards rushing per game - - dam that sucks - -a 4.9 per clip - -you get 5 yards per makes the offense pretty simple - -time to shut it down - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 I looked at Tech’s stats and they rely on the pass way more than rushing. Their passing yds is twice the amount of rushing yds. So, if our doggone secondary will show up, maybe our rushing offense will outscore Tech.
-
No points surrendered on the TO. Let’s go offense.
-
Nice coverage on the punt. Let’s go defense!
-
Offense needs a spark, hopefully defense can get another stop
-
Shit call there, tech player lowered his into Bryce
-
I despise replays for targeting.
-
throw the ball down the field
-
well, that worked until it didn’t
-
They wouldn’t count that as a touchdown if he dropped it like that
-
Tough start: 2 TO’s and an ejected player for targeting. I wonder about attendance. I notice the TV view seems intentionally focused on the field and not the stands.
-
Spotted Tech 17 points. Made them earn most of them, but we better get the offense going.
-
thats a TD
-
Why was that not reviewed? Offense must score every touch from here on out and hope the D can force FGs.
-
Clearly was a TD pass. I think stanley would have rather had the 54 yard TD pass than the sneak.
-
get out of bounds guys. the extra yard isn’t worth it
-
TD Yes!! Robinson has some wheels.
-
Perfect timing to discover a KU game on TV! TD!
-
Carter getting his mojo back.
-
Should be several flags on that run back
-
@DanR Bunch of cheaters!
-
Very good end to the half after a lousy start.
-
Defense has to do something here, that wont work, way too easy.
-
Defense needs a TO badly
-
Doooyyyyy.
-
Gotta gave 6 here or we probably are done
-
I’m old enough to remember people saying Bender was better than Carter
-
@Woodrow Carter the last 2 weeks and the BC game has looked like one of the best QBs we’ve had not counting Ressing.
-
So will special teams cost us another game like last week?
-
@nwhawkfan could, I doubt the defense can get enough stops but who knows. We need a turnover in a bad way right here.
-
Big stop D!, let’s go offense
-
Time of Possession: TT 28 min/ KU 16… Tough to score without being on the field.
-
Love to see a long drive to give the defense some rest here
-
The injured Techster graduated with my daughter from HS. Douglass Coleman of Zachary, LA!
-
HOLY CRAP ! STANLEY’S GOT THE TOOLS !!!
-
What a throw. Just a dime on the run!
-
Just think if we had this OC all season. Les Koening maybe the worst coordinator in Kansas football history. Hopefully the defense can get another stop.
-
Wow, this is fun!
-
Tech’s Duffy is due for an interception, IMO.
-
Robinson was wide open on that last TD play too.
-
Gonna have to do it again, may end up being like last week. Just can leave that much time on the clock
-
61 total points so far and we’re not down by 61 (like a few other games this decade).
-
Ref has a west texas accent
-
I wouldve gone for personally, that cut block was right on the edge of the pocket and a very questionable call.
