ISU game chat
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 pretty sloppy so far on both sides as to be expected early.
-
7-0 Kansas at the end of the 1st quarter.
ISU with 56 yards on 17 plays. 4 first downs with 9:34 TOP.
KU with 52 yards on 9 plays with 2 first downs and 5:26 TOP.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’m not sure Stanley has ever been giving the key, he has had several solid outings. Beaty was just so pro Bender he never got a full chance.

Khalil Herbert has been solid so far.
I will say that Carter Stanley winning the QB job isn’t a great sign for the position this year. We’ve seen over the past 3 years what Stanley is and that’s nothing special. He’s been given every opportunity to succeed, but has never been able to impress.
Hopefully Torry Locklin can progress enough to take over later this year because he has all the tools to be a very good QB for KU.
Historically the qb position hasn’t been great for Miles. I would agree that it’s not a great sign.
-
Offensive line could be problematic.
-
@kjayhawks Stanley has had one good game in his career. Stanley was given every opportunity to win the job, but his arm strength, awareness, and decision making have always been sub par.
Stanley is definitely more mobile than Bender ever was, but he also got sacked a higher rate than Bender ever did.
I’ve never claimed Bender was elite, but once Bender stopped having to look over his shoulder last year, he played solid football and gave that team some good chances to win some games.
Stanley has always seemed like a better fit as a back up QB to me.
-
@BShark Miles has also always been someone who preferred a run heavy Power I. That’s why he could never consistently beat Saban.
So far, there’s definitely a much stronger Koenning influence than Miles influence with the offense so far. There’s still a little bit of the “I”, but not the majority of the offense which is a good sign.
-
That didn’t look like a forward pass on that replay. Looked like half a yard backwards. Hopefully ref determines not enough evidence to overturn the call.
-
Oof
-
Gogo defense
-
I’ve never been a huge fan of the 3-4 or any 3 man front on defense. Too easy to open up running lanes to me.

Hard on the linebackers. You better have thumpers to run it well
-
Offense looks like Beaty is still here
-
College kickers
-
@Kcmatt7 My biggest reason is because you have to have a huge nose tackle and it’s very rare to have a true two gap NT in college. Most DT’s just aren’t big enough in college to be effective at the role.
It can work in the NFL because guys are much more physically developed and can focus on building the mass to be effective.
-
If we can get the offense to wake up for a few series, its blowout. Defense has been solid outside of 2 plays
-
I would put MacVittie out there now to see if he could spark the offense.
-
Carter Stanley suuuuucks

I’m not too hopeful. At this point just win.

Yuppp

Power I has been the best offense so far today.
-
Even completions are an adventure. Herbert tho!!!
-
I do like finally seeing play action. I’ll never understand why Beaty didn’t utilize it much more last year.
-
Two score lead yay
-
I think we’ll see Macvitte all second half

Hopefully so, Stanley can’t throw more than five yards that well.
-
I love Hebert but 2 of those runs are TDs with pooka. That’s why I’m not worried about the offensive just yet.
-
Don’t have TV today. What does attendance look like?
-
Special teams coverage has been very good
-
At least from what I’ve seen. I didn’t flip it on until halfway through the first
-
Mike Lee baby
-
@kjayhawks Herbert is a great complimentary back to Pooka. Herbert is a very good back, but he doesn’t have the game breaking speed Pooka has.
-
@Gorilla72 I haven’t really seen a good shot of the crowd to get a good estimate of the crowd.
-
Hasan Defense with a stupid play there.
-
Should have had good field position .
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 that what I was getting at buddy.
-
Dom Williams not having a good half so far.
-
3rd and 14 bring out the punter
-
Safe to say we need to work on our screen game…
Or drop it for awhile. Teams will key on that knowing Stanley doesn’t have the arm to convert a lot of 3rd and longs
-
Too predictable on 3rd and long today. Screen every time. A draw play to Herbert would be a good mix up.
-
Great coverage again, the playing is silly, we are getting chunks running it so why stop.
-
At least we have a good punter.
-
Uhoh
-
Blown coverage on that play.
-
Hopefully defense holds them to a FG.
-
That penalty almost assures a td.
-
Can’t see a good angle, Lee looked like he had the arm though.
-
It was a good call unfortunately
-
Finally a good shot of the crowd. Alumni side looked pretty full, endzone looked pretty empty, couldn’t see the student side except the area where the band is. I would guess the crowd is 30,000 or so.
-
I think that’s going to be a TD.
