Love how happy the guys are for Mbiya

Flory MVP for making Toppin his biotch though.

Alright fine, I'll take my 1st weekend exit glasses off. Now, I see your point.

I actually think the real indictment of the staff is they haven’t evaluated talent well enough in the NIL era.

Gone after big names instead of grinding the tape.

I thought they kept playcalling purposely bland to keep things hidden for next week.

I still hate the quick no huddle near the goal line when you don’t do that anywhere else on the field. Got a false start on that, and we’ll do the same thing 5+ times this year guaranteed.

Marshall was the right guy to start, but there were balls thrown that are turnovers against real opponents. He will have to be better next week.

Edward’s looks good in this offense and will break a few this year.

Defense was stout, but not saying much considering the opponent.

I expect us to do much of what we did last year against Mizzou. Play close enough all game, but just get warm down by the end. Need the offense to either score almost every drive or have a lot of sustained drives that eat up clock.

Looked like a 5+ win team to me though.

I HATE the switch everything defense. Causes us to rebound poorly and double team too much in the post.

Offensively I’m not sure we shoot it well enough to get much better. Offense for this group has to come from defense in a sense.

I still think they will get better as a team. But we are certainly not a good team right now. Incredibly lucky to not be 0-3 in conference play.

+16 with Mbiya on the floor and +11 with DP. The rest were basically even

Wahoo 6-0 silly to go for two but okay

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

Imagine being UK and firing Cal and sucking even worse

Only KU would have both QBs get hurt in one play

At the game - DP got up okay.

@wissox83 said in KU TCU:

@kjayhawks2.0 I gave up watching. What was the situation you referred to about going up 16-0.

Kansas was on the TCU goal line leading 13-0. Instead of kicking a field goal to go up 16-0 they decided to once again go for it on fourth down, and failed, giving the ball back to TCU.

So they left points on the field instead of extending the lead to potentially three scores needed by TCU.

That and a short doink were killers.

So frustrating to watch a team where the issue doesn’t seem to be talent. Maybe you could say the QB, which is big admittedly.

But they’re competitive in every single game and just make huge mistakes to cost them the game.

Ballard at least (so far) seems to take care of the ball better than Marshall. Leaving points in the board but keeping momentum. Leaning into our defense being better than the O this year.

I want to see the Rice transfer at QB if I’m being honest…

Honestly he did some good and some bad. College sports is just such a shit show right now I don’t even know how to evaluate him.

We can run and out athlete anyone when we play small. Ball moves way better. Lane is clears out for drives.

Mbiya and Reeves just aren’t athletic enough. When TKR is finally playing they won’t get any run.

But our small ball lineup is getting destroyed by Duke's bigs. They are taking full advantage of switches. Also getting offensive boards and tip-ins.

We’ll get better at it. I think we’ve been practicing a lot with a big man in the lineup.

Nice to see Perry have some run and success out there in the first half

We won’t be playing Mbiya or Reeves much this season. Just a much much better team when we play small.

They gotta win 1 of the next 3 games. They should be competitive in them at least. The last two games we’ll see.

You used to get a good senior night bump, but considering it is BYU and the transfer portal I don’t know how much that matters.

Would really love to see this team win two more. Would give me hope.

They actually did it. Special teams has been so insane for this team this year (both good and bad)
