First game I've seen this season. The freshman are going to be really good. Darks, Johnson, and Johnson will all be All Big 12. Looks like we need help on the defensive line. Wouldn't mind seeing that 2 minute offense used throughout the game ( seemed like the team had better timing and didn't give KU time to set up all those blitz packages). All in all kinda what I expected. The team is young and played young. Look forward to watching them progress. Oh yeah, Thank you Gene for getting a scholarship kicker on board.
OFFICIAL POST GAME THREAD -KU vs ISU
- Thread starter coachdags
- Start date
That was a great post.
The other thing that I saw in the game thread was people calling for Phillip Bates, and I wondered about it a couple of times as well. But I think that we saw the coaches turn the ball over to Austen, and will let him play through mistakes, instead of giving him the quick hook.
Re: Good teams do not put themselves into the positions
SpokaneCy, you've put it well. Everybody should be able to compete with everyone else on the first weekend of conference play. Everyone is reading too much into that #20 ranking. If Kansas loses a couple games and finishes unranked, it's not so much of a "good" game. Entertaining yes.
Hopefully Chizek expects more out of this team. A 20 point lead going into the second half should be good for a win.

Hoping all fans can see how close we are. Chiz is the right guy and he's bringing in some new blood. Our future remains bright.

Man, it's frustrating always coming up short in games like this. KU is good but they're not THAT good. Fortunately, there are positive signs and I'm hopeful that things will change soon but we could have had this one.
Maybe I'm alone here but I'm not big on Arnaud's mechanics. Doesn't it seem like he takes too much time releasing the ball and will overthrow guys a lot? Hopefully they can work on that.
Nice to see so many young guys making big plays. I'm hopeful things will get better but it's definitely frustrating right now.

Yep, nothing quite like taking all credit for a good performance away from our team. Pull the rug right out from under 'em. "They weren't really that good". Pure nonsense. Whether they're rated #16 or not, this is still a quality Kansas team.

But with better teams. Once we get over the hump, other teams can play close with us and lose.
I'm baffled as to what you're seeing. 27of 44, with three drops, and I've always seen one heck of a quick release. Kansas put on a lot of pressure in the 2nd half.
I see people bashing recievers for drops on the last drive but to me appears that in that situation AA has one throw, the bullet regardless of where the recievers are on the field. Didn't we see this late in one of the other games. I'm interested in any intelligent discussion anyone might have on that issue.
We lost. Being close shows progress from year to year, but winning can change the momentum of a season.

No question.....
This is a great young team. They're just making a lot of mistakes. I hate dropping a game like this but there were a lot of positives.
The going got tough long before we decided to respond. If you told us before the game started that we would lose by 2, yes, most would have taken that.
If you would have told us before the game that we would allow 28 unanswered points and blow a 3 score lead, in our house, in one freaking quarter, then I think some people would be pissed off.
If you would have told us that we would have the ball with a chance to win at the end of the game, we would have open receivers on 3 plays, and not gain a yard, then I think some people would be pissed off.
For the record, I'm not pissed off. I think I've almost become immune to the groin kick that we fans receive more often than not. However, I certainly understand the frustration.
That game was so stupid, why do we get so close and always lose. The thing I hate most of all is that we lost to Kansas

All I have to say is that it takes 4 quarters to win a ball game. The proof is in the last 2 games.
This win gets you excited for the future, but it was a heartbreaker. 2nd half offense was abissmal.
Really? I must have just imagined two TD's against one of the better defenses in the conference, then.
Was the defense tired the whole second half? The only time we stopped them was the fumble, and then we promptly gave it back.
I'd agree with this. And I think what would help this is get a little more out of the running game. Some power running on first or second down to get three or four yards and shorten the third down chances.
I was looking for this to post earlier. Thank you for finding this for me. This tends to be the way that programs get going.
