Prediction time
-
The Kansas football team will hit the road Saturday for a contest against the Baylor Bears, game will be on FS1 at 1:30 Jayhawk time. Baylor is the B12s only shot at the playoff this year as they are off to an undefeated start but it is a long shot after playing a host of NAIA level schools in the non Conference. Briles is out but its much of the same in Waco, they can score a lot and do so very fast. With the likes of former KU signee Seth Russell at QB and Shock Linwood at RB with a list of solid WRs. Kansas gave us hope last week of maybe being able to steal another win or two before this season ends. That being said I highly doubt we compete in this one,with our road struggles and playing against maybe the best team in this league after losing a game we should have won. I look for Baylor to get started fast and score a lot in this one. I think our defense does get a few TOs and makes some plays but the offense continues to struggle holding on to the ball or finish drives I’m going Baylor 56 Kansas 16. They spanked us in Lawrence LY 66-7 so hopefully we can play a little better than that but only one game between us has been close since the mangino days which was a 2011 double OT game in which we lost.

@kjayhawks depressing
-
75-10
-
@nuleafjhawk lol i think you go to extreme measures with your predictions i guess maybe it makes a guy feel better when we dont get murded by 60 or 70 points.
-
@kjayhawks Honestly, 75-10 isn’t that much different that 56-16. Three more TD’s and a field goal. And it does make me feel better to get beat like that. I still haven’t recovered from last week where you think “man, one play goes a little differently and we would have won”.
And that one play could have been one of about 30 plays. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be a debbie downer. That’s why i just put the score with no comment. I really believe that will be the score. I think i did about the same thing last week - i want to say i called 65-10 or something like that. And we almost won! If we’re close tomorrow, i’ll predict 300-0 next week!!! Lol
-
@nuleafjhawk negative Ned, I’m Debbie downer.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Sorry Deb, didn’t mean to steal your thunder.
-
@nuleafjhawk
You, me
-
@nuleafjhawk Agreed man last week has just hung with me all week its so frustrating. I’m game for you 300-0 as long as it works my friend. Nothing wrong with what I call being realistic, a lot of people got pissed when I said WSU would kick our asses I would’ve been happy to be wrong but I’m a realist, the truth isn’t always what we want to hear.
-
@nuleafjhawk I don’t think you are giving our defense enough credit. I hope you were pleasantly surprised by the defense last week.
Because the game’s at Baylor, they will score more points than TCU. But, our defense is playing their hearts out. Overachieving, really. I just hope the offense holds the ball some, so the defense isn’t on the field all day. RCJH

@stoptheflop I was literally blown away by the defense last week. Actually, the week before too, for over 3 quarters. There’s no doubt we’re getting better, but we just don’t have enough horses to hang with the big dogs (that’s a lot of animals, huh) for the whole 4 quarters. We need more depth. Didn’t we lose one of our top defensive linemen this week? I haven’t followed as closely as I’d like, a lot of personal stuff going on.
Hey - we’ve seen teams like Baylor and TCU go from the bottom of the pit to the top of the heap - it can be done. Can we do it? I don’t know. But i sure won’t be surprised if we get beat by 60 today.
-
Anyone think we can compete w/Ksu? Is there qb done for good? Caught some of it.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 KSU offense is a joke to be really if our d plays well we may have a shot.
-
Had a nice drive going to the Baylor 40 before Willis tossed a pick 6…
-
Moose just had an 82 yard punt
-
@kjayhawks geez no flag?
-
Defense gets a stop get field position here at the BU 49 lets get a TD and stop the bleeding
-
@Crimsonorblue22 It looked intentional but no penalty if engaged in blocked in to
-
Who is fairs?
-
-
Geez, should have shoved him a lil harder!
-
Fairs pushes off then drops it lol wow. don’t like that play call at all.
-
Looks like KU is about to get big boyed.
-
Announcers r having fun at our expense
-
This and the OU were the games that scared me the most.
-
@kjayhawks think @nuleafjhawk might even be short on the score!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes I think so but @nuleafjhawk prediction maybe closer than mine lol
-
Just need to relax and get some first downs together Willis has looked okay outside of one throw and we cant run so air it out try to get some points.
-
The KSU game is the game I dread the most. There isn’t much of a talent gap and never has been, but the scoreboard will be lit up like a Christmas tree by KSU. It’s all coaching and that’s what makes me sick.
-
Willis waits soooo long
-
@dylans very much so
-
I wonder how the hell ISU lead the hole game against Baylor.
-
0/4 on 3rd downs wont get it done against anyone.
-
Wheres @Kcmatt7 ?
-
@kjayhawks has fairs played before?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 not that I remember this year, Willis is under too much pressure and probably don’t have anyone open.
-
@kjayhawks seems like he double triple pumps before he fires.
-
Defense has looked decent at times second stop here
-
Let’s dwell on our hardships awhile!
-
Atleast this week we don’t play good enough to win for 90% of the game. Don’t get my hopes up
-
WTF type a play call was that throw a pass 8 yards behind the line to Quv lol. We have to get a legit OC.
-
@kjayhawks Boy I tell you we need some series speed upgrade. We may let 70 up points.
-
pass defense solid thus far Russel 5/14 for 54 yards
-
I guess our kicker isn’t the only joke Baylor misses a chip shot and NC state’s kicker missed one as time expired which would’ve beat Clemson.
-
@kjayhawks at least KU vb plays later
-
I hate these announcers!
-
Woohooo
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Ya they seem outta sorts lol the requirements for sports announcers are the same as wal mart greeters
-
-
Willis can tackle!
