JUST BEAT THE TCU LIZARDS

Yes, a horned frog is actually a lizard according to the TCU website; who knew? KU can’t complain since our mascot is a fictional bird named after a civil war term for Kansas territorial citizens who fought against slavery by attacking Missouri farmers.
6.5 underdogs again. What’s it take to get a little respect for a home game opponent. Coach Leipold is going to have to do better to win this game; better play calling and better game management. Loosen the reins on QB Daniels. Let Daniels look to pass on first down, then pull it down and run if nothing is open or Neal can be the check down like NFL QBs use. Daniels is passing well and our receivers are doing great. KU is at its best when the offensive accelerator is to the metal. I sure hope the TCU offense that pummeled OU doesn’t find the same success this Saturday.
-
Just be aggressive this week.
It was nice to see the defense win one for us when we needed it. But let’s get back to our regularly scheduled program of JD being the most electric QB in CFB. Race to 45.
Win this one and the B12 is legitimately wide open.
-
@stoptheflop I wonder if Duggan knows who, at basically the halfway point in the season, leads the nation in sacks?
Oh yeah. That would be KANSAS. Tied with some team named Alabama.
I so hope they underestimate us. That will be fun.
-
See I’m wondering if it was a lot of play calling or not. - -They had a spy on Daniels , & I think a lot of that was Jalen trying to make the correct read on what they were giving him. I mean I could be wrong , I could be wrong very easily - have been before.
I for one think that our offense will return now what degree not sure but I don’t think it will be like Iowa St , TCU defense is decent , to fairly good BUT they do not have an Iowa State defense. Like I mentioned before Iowa St defense is ranked sa the # 1 defense in the Big 12 - - Total - - Pass – & Run - - K/State has the leagues 2nd best.
I think were gonna move the ball might very well be a track meet. - Dugan has killed KU when we have played them , just got to limit the bomb , breakout plays. I think our defense is getting better believe it or not Yes teams have had success moving the ball, but like was brought up on our local sports podcast- -Ku has managed to have teams settle for field goals at times lately tough up closer to the goal.
Just another case where the guys need to 12th man to help out in key moments - -let them know that YES KU does play football - - - - - - getting stoked ready to go
-
Jalen has the highest QBR rating in the Entire FBS ratings at 95.6 - -I can live with that
-
@stoptheflop Phrynosoma cornutum
Fun little critters, we have them in Kansas too. I used to catch them a lot as a kid.
-
I unfortunately like TCU to cover. Bad matchup for us given their strength is speed on the outside and that is not what we have on defense.
-
I saw what TCU did to OU, but I’m going to keep picking the good guys until we drop one. 34-31
That said, TCU looks like the 1st or 2nd best team in the B12 depending on how you feel about Oklahoma St
-
@tundrahok we had a ton of horny toads in s. KS. Surprised they aren’t all over KS. Can’t think of when I last saw one.
-
Horny toads…anyone else remember “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” ?

Funny creatures - cry blood. Have a diet of ants. Pretty cool. One of my interns caught one and kept it for a few weeks. The he accidentally overfed it while he was making his own meal and the ants killed the horny toad.

TCU’s defense is also nowhere near as strong as ISU’s so KU should be able to move and score the ball much easier this week. They don’t force many turnovers (tied for 99th), middle of the road in sacks. This should be an entertaining, high scoring game.
-
TCU has better athletes across the board than ISU. This game is against the haves.
To win this one, we need TCU to put in an average performance and, collectively, the Hawks need to play near their ceiling, no injuries and deliver a touch of Houdini here and there.
-
Saw hi lights of the Houston Memphis game. Good win for us! We are leaving the house at 8 tmrw, 8 of us, counting the 1 1/2 yr. Old. Hope it’s a great day!

️So this means you’re…“Off to see the Lizards”?
(Thought I’d make the obligatory Oz reference before the ESPN guys beat me to it…)
-
At some point last night, I think Memphis had a 99.9% chance to win the game.
-
I see a lot of Jayhawks. Looks like Lawrence showed up for Gameday
-
No Lee Corso on College GameDay? Don’t know if that’s a blessing or a curse. (Or is that a curse-o.?) Oh well, doctors orders.
-
Jayhawk fans showed up well on the hill

Wow, this is KU’s biggest football game since the Orange Bowl win. So much pressure on our guys. I’m holding my breath until KU wins this game.
-
I wonder how many viewers will watch ABC at 11 for the SEC Greener Pastures Bowl. I hope the game ends in a scoreless tie.
-
Just curious how much w see of Ky Thomas today -would be nice to see some solid production from another back

Yes, I keep thinking how we were expected to go undefeated and were ranked ahead of Alabama to start the season. The pressure is overwhelming.
-
Well, here we go. Good luck to the Jayhawks today.
I’m on the final leg of my cross-country road trip from Seattle to KC and back, so I’ll have to follow the game on the Jayhawk Radio Network stream. (I’d find a place to watch it, but good luck finding a bar in SE Washington that’s open at 9 AM.)
Tell you what though…it’s a great big beautiful country out there. Driving sure beats flying if you’ve got the time.
GO BIG BLUE !
-
WHAT A STOP. Grant absolutely destroyed that.
-
That’s a huge play
-
TCU’s secondary is fast
-
Last week too many runs. This week a little pass happy.
Let’s run early and get ahead of the chains. Then let’s work in PA pass.
-
This defense is playing great tbh.
Phelps was an amazing pickup.
-
Defense is playing. Offense needs to show up
-
All the transfers showing up today!
-
The crowd and the stadium look great, full and active.
-
You have to come up with that. Damn
-
The offense has been very not good against the two decent defenses we have played so far.
-
TCU is clearly the most physically imposing team we’ve played so far. Tackle well. Hit hard.
Our dudes need to bring it.
Ky looked like the real deal on that run though. Feed him the ball (and don’t mess up the mesh).
-
Jalen making bad reads - -we can’t keep counting on the defense to shut down thuis offense
-
TCU’s defense is good and we are helping them and they’ve gotten away with a few PIs and we are missing Hishaw
-
@BShark I thought last week was coaching. This week they feel overmatched tbh.
-
Come on, defense. Keep bringing it to them.
-
Our offense has got to get their crap together. TCU defense ok, but NOT all that great -Jalen needs to make better reads
-
Phelps the God
-
Lonnie Phelps looks like he is good enough to play on Sundays.
-
Defense is carrying
-
This defense is getting better
-
Let’s get some points on the board- 12 play drive
-
What a damn catch!
-
FAIRCHILD!
-
hows the hell did he catch that?
-
YES!
-
Wow that is a killer
