I see a lot of ISU in KSU. Two teams that have success winning ugly.

To win ISU will need to win on the lines of scrimmage. I think we may need to play some 4-2-5 to be physical up front and introduce a wrinkle for KSU blocking schemes

The other key will be preventing big plays by K-States offense.

Vaughn is the only player they have that scares me. Guy is dangerous in the open field.

Moore is a solid tight end, doesn’t really strike fear.

You have to seriously wonder why K-State is even a concern for ISU given the EMAW clan has but one player worthy of distinction.

KSU plays such sound and fundamental football, that even though they might only have a couple of guys that are studs they can be in every game. That's what scares me about them. They rarely make mistakes and they're very well coached.

Look, you could put 11 Kindergartners in purple and silver and they'd still find a way to muck it up and keep things close in this series.

Isu has trouble with qbs who can extend plays outside the pocket.

Keep howard in the pocket, stuff the run, limit turnovers and penalties and ISU wins by 10+.

Can't let Hubert (#56) live in our backfield and screw everything up.

We can do all those things and will still lose because ISU/KSU reasons. Logic does not govern this game.

I would hope you're not serious here. There's a lot of respect for KSU in this thread. IMO if ISU keeps Howard in the pocket, keeps Vaughn at least halfway in check and doesn't allow any special teams TDs, they win by 2 TDs. Easier said than done, though. I expect a close game that comes down to the 4th quarter.

The guy is a stud. Waiting for Surly's C19 report (preemptive strike game loss excuse) on whether not Hubert suits up.

The only time I've used C19 was in explaining the season-opening loss.

 

[DarkStar]

I hope most of that is due to contact tracing and not actual infections.

OK. If (big if at this point) several K-State starters miss our game due to C19, and the kittens lose, you will make no mention of it?

Let's hope it doesn't come to that. My understanding is that this current outbreak at K-State is amongst younger, non-starters.

I want to see these two squads go at it with their best talent on the field, sans Skylar Thompson.

Having just exposed our entire team to Baylor, I am more concerned about the Cyclone team's health.

I'm sure you meant to say---.....sans Skylar Thompson, Trevor Downing, Tarique Milton, and Joey Ramos.

Alabama/LSU just postponed theirs due to C'virus. Damn.

 

[surly]

Farmageddon!

Iirc last year our 3 man front was not effective. Latter in the game we started doing more 4 man front and that seemed to work better.

Agreed, I like the use the four man line some after half time idea.
