Wow, I’m still stung by that meltdown last year. How did we lose that game? One of about 3 or 4 gut punches last year that turned our season from promising into a disaster fraught with what ifs and what could’ve beens.
This year we’ve had one what could’ve been already. Maybe a decision to punt is the what could’ve been that separates our season from good to great.
Tomorrow, I hope we keep the foot on the accelerator and bury them so there’s no doubt on the outcome. I’m fairly confident victory is possible. Will call it 35-31 Jayhawks.

Two touchdown favorites tomorrow. First time in 15 years we have been that against a B12 team
-
Last year I was 100% sure we would lose. Even when we were up 11 with 5 minutes left I had no doubt we would give up a quick touchdown, go three and out, and then give up another score. This year I would give us about a 45% chance of winning, a significant jump from the 0 we had last year. We are favorites and definitely could blow WVU out, but I think we will shoot outselves in the foot with drops, fumbles, and miscommunications on defense enough to allow WVU to stay in the game. Then in the 4th quarter I think WVU shows more testicular fortitude (some) than us (none) and takes a surprise win.
Converseley, if we are winning by double digits in the 4th quarter I think we can drain the clock just well enough to escape.

Go Hawks!

Yes @wissox let’s hope we can exercise the Demons tomorrow. Things to consider, Missouri is likely a top 10 team before the season ends and they are better in the trenches than prob everyone in the b12 except maybe Utah. Defensively I don’t feel like we were bad in terms of scheme we just were terrible at making plays on the ball whether it was a missed tip or a miss tackle. I’d love to see the offense get the run game going against WVU to help keep the heat off of JD. JD has to realize it is okay to throw the ball away. The fumble play that lead to a safety just looked like a busted play. Throw it at the RBs feet and live to play another down. Stop trying to do too much, it was catastrophic last season.
-
@kjayhawks to be fair to JD the only offense that was working vs mizzou was jd making something out of nothing.
-
Need a team win today. Let’s hope the new stadium holds its own “phog” magic. Looking for every natural and supernatural advantage we can get.

Well we played the Demons two weeks ago as they got a lot of exercise running up and down the field against our porous defense. Lets hope today we exorcise our demons!

@wissox damn phone changes stuff haha yes
-
I’ll be at game.

3 and out baby. Nice start
-
I know I’m in the minority but I LOVE the black uniforms.
-
Fast TD. Nice
-
Woohoo!! Wave that wheat!!

“closest defender was in Eudora” according to Haney on radio!

I also dig them. Especially with the 41 Hawk
Also what a start holy cow
-
@wissox or me on top of stadium
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Are you on the new side?
-
@FarmerJayhawk We would have bobbled the ball and lost 4 yards on that 4th down if we were wearing the white uniforms.
-
-
Another D stop. Way to start the game
-
DK throwing out a bunch of different looks to start the game. Everything from 5-2 to 3-3
-
Whew that was lucky
-
Alright, stopped them again. Now come on offense
-
This team looks dominant right now.
-
Jalen’s got to hit that open man.
-
44 should’ve had the
-
@wissox Jalen just can’t pass accurately when he’s moving
-
Our inability to line up and run the ball is concerning
-
Another unpopular opinion - I don’t believe Daniels is a good QB.
-
Well at least the defense is playing well.
-
If we had any offense we’d be up 3 td’s by now. At least.
-
KU defense held WV to 21 yds passing and 15 yds passing in the first Q.
-
Better. Give JD some easy ones, get in rhythm.
-
Catching a ball with a knee down for a loss is not high IQ football.
-
Toss him. That’s a bad hit.
-
Stupid for KU to push the guy who committed the penalty.
-
He was protecting his QB with a lot of emotion to boot. I don’t fault that guy.

He was defending Daniels after a dirty hit. I have zero issues with what 70 did on that play.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I understand, but did it cost us yards?
-
@wissox Cost us an important first down
-
That was the dirtiest hit I’ve seen in awhile
-
JD is just off today smh defense has been solid tho
-
We still have a 1st down and did not lose any yardage.
-
JD missed another receiver.
-
@stoptheflop yes I’m worried we are letting them hang around, just like last year. We should be up 21-0 right now
-
Nice one on one tackle
-
Defense keeps eating
-
6 punts already.
