Jayhawk football schedule. Wissox Forecast.
-
@Jhawk69 I think the OC was responsible for making him looking so bad last year until something switched. Maybe Lance got tired of it, not sure how that change occurred, but I’d put the breaks on he’s ruined talk.
Of course you could say Kostelny (?) was responsible for how good he looked the year before.
-
@wissox The OC change was definitely a negative last year. Hope they have it right now.
-
There will be two big scheme changes that are JD (and most QBs) friendly under Z/Lubick. First, attacking the middle of the field more. There was a stark contrast in Kotelnicki vs. Grimes in how they called the passing game. Also having a better receiving TE in Hanika will help. Next is the option game. JD can be lethal in the option game as we saw in 22. Lots of that was Lubick’s brainchild. Grimes barely called any (and sometimes forgot #4 existed). So those changes will be big, along with a more talented WR corps. The old trio were great, but Grimm was really the only guy that could consistently get separation. Henderson and Pickett both have burst and suddenness to win 1 on 1 and turn a slant into 6.
-
@wissox I don’t think he is ruined. I think he is still a decent college QB but I don’t think we will ever see 2022 JD again.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Interesting. I don’t know anything about the new receivers, but I thought that trio we had were super talented and to hear you say these guys are better is exciting.
-
@wissox Grimm and Arnold were good possession/slot receivers, but neither had great high end speed. Skinner was the best home run threat, but he wasn’t a great route runner and his hands were below average.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 That all may be true but they were spectacular in a KU uniform.
-
Skinner did have a heck of a grab today for the Jets so that was cool
-
Hard to believe in a little more than a week this team is going to be playing and making my predictions come true.
-
Nice to see KU receivers ball out tonight in the preseason. Skinner had a nice one hand TD for the jets and Grimm took back a punt for the chargers. Will miss the talented WR corps we’ve had the last few years.
-
So far so good regarding your predictions.
-
@Jhawk69 Anyone could have predicted those 3 results!!
-
@wissox I predicted those 3 results too. Where our picks first diverge is that you picked us to beat WVU and I picked us to lose. Here’s hoping you are right about that one.
-
@Jhawk69 WVU went to Ohio last weekend and lost to Ohio (not State!) I think we can handle them!
-
They lost despite the fact that Ohio’s QB threw 3 interceptions. But I have an eerie feeling WVU will bounce back and play a lot better against us.
-
@Jhawk69 getting an extra week to prepared and with how they have looked. There is not an excuse good enough to lose to WVU imo.
-
Forecast looking good so far. Maybe can see how WVU lost to Ohio.

@kjayhawks yep!
-
How are we feeling? Obviously tonight’s results weren’t shocking. But it feels like the KSU game has gained a lot of value. I’m not sure I see the loser of that one making to a bowl game. I will say this we have played a much much tougher schedule to this point. I think Tech is a top 5 team in the country and Cincinnati, Mizzou are at least top 20 ball clubs. The best chances at wins are our next 3 opponents.
-
Over all hard to feel down about KU football. We beat 3 top 25 opponents in a row? last year. We have leveled up our recruiting. We have a new stadium. We have a 5th year QB and head coach that have been all class.
Yes, there were some head scratchers last night, but we also dominated for a stretch and almost drew level.
Our run D up the middle and O converting 3rd and 1s are areas for improvement.
Marjan kicked a 55 yarder with 10 yards to spare!
Rawls Kamala and Alexander are players. Other guys have stepped up throughout the year on D. I like what we are building.
We need Marshall to make the leap. I hope he will be ready.
For now, count me very happy with competitive Kansas football.
-
Anybody know how bad Dye is?
-
@approxinfinity I am very frustrated with our fan base right now.
-
We are still KU Football even ignoring the Gill to Miles era.
LL was too successful almost too quick for his own good. Fan expectations are wild.
We need to give LL time with all his new shiny toys before we even think about pulling the plug
-
Last night was predictable. How competitive do fans think the Chiefs would be if they spent $50m when the salary cap is $200m?
-
@FarmerJayhawk correct, I LL should feel Pressure if we miss a bowl game for the second consecutive year other than that he should have no heat at this moment. We are about 3 plays from being 6-1
-
@FarmerJayhawk Without Mahomes they would suck - so you don’t have to go that far. The Patriots just handed the Bills a L and the Pats are 58m under the cap. The Eagles bought the last championship with by being about 200mil over the cap with dead money structured into future cap hits. Money is inportant, but the Jimmy’s and Joe’s you spend it on are more important- see UNC football and the GM and Belichek that everyone was drooling over in the offseason - ooh shiny failure.
KU football is never joining to be in the conversion of a national title. The only reason fans currently think KU is decent is the Big12 is really bad at football - like d2 bad. It’s good for KU, but whomever gets invited to the playoff (TT) is going to get embarrassed by a real team. I’m just trying to enjoy being above .500 and possibly going to meaningless bowl games, it’s a huge improvement.
-
@kjayhawks It’s interesting because we write the same thing on each of his seasons it seems. Our losses are not bad losses, this week excluded. Our losses are close games which the fatal flaw is the struggle to make the play in the last 2-3 minutes of games. 2 of 3 losses this year fit the category. So many what iffs last year. I forget the “Bean Year” where we had fewer losses which games were close calls hinging on mistakes in crunch time but I know there were several.
-
We did give Mizzou a decent game.
