WEST VIRGINIA TODAY
-
This game is going to be very interesting for those few of us following KU football. First, will the KU offense progress after the BC explosion or regress to the ineffectiveness we suffered through during the first two games?
Second, the WV offense appears to favor the pass, so our D-line and D-backs will be tested. OU transfer QB, Austin Kendall is 69/107 for 669 yds. 6TDs, 3 INTs. His favorite target is WR, #13 Sam Jones, with 20 receptions. WV only has 237 yds. rushing through 3 games, most from #6 McKoy, who is also the second most targeted receiver.
I haven’t been very successful with ESPN+; I was able to access it all day for other games, but when the CC started, I couldn’t log in. All of us need to get used to ESPN+. I noticed that many of our BB games will only be seen there. Today’s game will tell us if our offense has turned the corner and will help KU be more competitive in the Big 12. Our defense must shine today.

@stoptheflop I signed up for ESPN+ last night, but I can’t seem to figure out how to record upcoming events. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.
-
Would love to see another Jayhawks win. We need it right now.

WVU is a bad team. 119th in total offense, 92nd in scoring offense.
They are also 74th in scoring defense and 61st in total defense.
KU’s offense is ranked 78th in total offense and 86th in scoring offense.
KU is ranked 36th in scoring defense, 65th in total defense.

Interesting stats. You would think KU should win but as we have seen, the best KU team doesn’t always show up.
-
Who’d ever have predicted a more optimistic frame of mind in KU faithful about the football season’s post-season hopes than basketball?
-
@nuleafjhawk I’m probably the last person to ask, but I try to be helpful. The games will be on there after they are played. Check to see if you can find any other old games, not ours.
-
@nuleafjhawk hawk talk is on there from thurs. I take it you won’t be home for game? There’s also a pre and post game show on espn+ and I still get that on cox

Kind of Crazy to hear Texas is ranked Dead last in the Big 12 in Total Defense - - really surprised me. - -Heard that on game day today
-
@jayballer73 LSU game hurt them.
-
This game AGAIN depends a lot on our offensive line. - -WV has 9 QB sacks already and I think it said 22 TFL’S - - -really got to be really aware of the Still Brothers - - If our O-Line can hold up give Cater some time - -I like our chances. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@Crimsonorblue22 you are very helpful & appreciated!
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 What service do you use for your stats? I’ve been using CBSSports because it ranks 130 teams. That service shows WV’s passing offense at 82nd and KU’s pass defense as 38th. So WV’s offensive strength, passing is going against KU’s defensive strength of pass defense. KU’s rushing is ranked 40th and WV’s rush defense is ranked 99. So, based on these rankings, KU should have the advantage today.
-
@stoptheflop I just went to the NCAA’s website.
-
@stoptheflop you get the game? I’m in!
-
KU’s run defense looks like it’s in for a long day based on that first drive.
-
Need more depth on that toss dive.
-
That INT looks like it’s going to be overturned.
-
What’s the O problem?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Carter Stanley passing into the wind so there’s that.
-
Curious to see what the offense looks like with the wind at Stanley’s back.
-
When did Stanley learn how to scramble?
-
Offense looks better with the wind.
-
Nice downfield block by Charlot on that TD as well.
-
Receivers block great this year!
-
That’s a bullshit non review. Stanley’s arm was clearly moving forward when the ball came out, should’ve been an incompletion.
-
Stanley also has to have better awareness in that moment and tuck it and take the loss on that play.
-
KU has to be better on third downs.
-
Defense has been pretty good after that opening drive.
-
KU needs points before the half.
-
Passing game hasn’t been enough of a threat to open up the running game.
-
Crap!
-
Need to throw more on 1st and 2nd down to open up the running game. Offense has been too predictable this half
-
Defense is too conservative this drive. WVU shouldn’t have been able to get into FG range. Hopefully they miss this one too.
-
Dang it
-
Lucky
-
And WVU gets the ball to start the 2nd half as well.
-
KU defense is doing all it can. But, the offensive play calling has been horrible. Execution too. But, the offense took off last week in the second half, so I hope for the same positive results today. RC
-
@stoptheflop I’m really wondering how much the wind is affecting Stanley and therefore affecting the play calling.
-
Good thing he dropped that one.
-
That draw play has killed the defense all day.
-
Looks exactly like WVU’s first drive
-
Now we look like KU
-
KU needs a response this possession.
-
Keep Manny in at QB!
-
Jet sweep to Parchment would be nice now.
-
Stanley looks a lot better on this drive.
-
And then Stanley made the wrong read.
-
Making me nervous!
-
Manny at QB, Stanley at RB.
