      With stadium seating limited to 32,000, I sure hope Friday's game is a sell out.

      I hope it’s full but being a holiday weekend and 98 degrees weather will see

              From what I've seen so far - not impressed

                @nuleafjhawk defense has been okay but we simply can’t not run up the middle against these guys. Opened up a bit on the outside but our center and guards are getting beat nearly every play.

                    Harris is going to be a problem for a lot of opposing offenses.

                      My criticism worked again! It always lights a fire under their butts.

                        Overall I’m pleased with the way the game went, definitely worried about getting destroyed by Mizzou in a week. I thought Marshall settled in pretty good but we know he will have growing pains no question. I think the defense rallied to the ball well and as mentioned above Harris is gonna be a guy other teams will have to account for. I am concerned about the lack of speed on the defensive side and how our guards and center go beat pretty consistently. Marshall maybe running for his life much of the rest of the season.

                            @nuleafjhawk I’d be very happy with that outcome but still standing behind my two win prediction til I see other wise. Fizzou just seems to be much much better up front on both sides than us. That’s where the games are usually won.

                              Started slow and finished strong as expected yesterday. Nice to see a KU team be physical and dominate.

                              I don’t know the team well enough yet to pick out many guys by name, but a few stood out for sure. That quick defensive lineman and the WR who had a few very nice catches.

                              Marshall’s arm seemed a bit better than I expected. He does seem to throw a high ball though.

                              Also liked that we use multiple RBs. Keep em fresh and healthy!

                              And the stadium looked great! Minor complaint: they showed some renderings during the game of future construction. I don’t like the way the upcoming hotels, buildings and whatnot would tower over the stadium. Not a good look. Let the stadium shine unobstructed.

                                Marshall can run and he can throw the deep ball. Time will tell if he can do other stuff

                                      Okie lite 😳 not sure why everyone was so high on a team that won one game last season.

                                        @kjayhawks2.0 Because they brought in a very successful coach . . . and his highly rated QB . . . and a bunch of players from North Texas.

                                          Most of OSU's roster this year is a North Texas team that finished 12-2 last year, made the AAC championship game, and finished ranked.

                                            They did it to waste Mizzou time to have to prepare for it. Nothing more than that.
