The defense is going to have to put a lot of time in on KU. They do a lot of crazy stuff. Still I think that JH will have a plan to slow them down. They are giving up an average 32+ point in the last games, so there is going to be some opportunities for the offense to score some points. They are giving up close to 300 yards though the air in those games, but look pretty decent against the run. It will be an interesting game.

ISU vs KU football trivia:
  • KU holds the all-time NCAA Division I-A record for tie games at 58. It so happens #58 was their tie with ISU in 1990, just prior to the advent of OT. This record will never be broken, unless they get rid of OT.
  • KU has been 11-0 exactly once, in 2007. Win #11 was against ISU.
  • KU has played ISU 101 times, and leads all time at 50 wins, 45 losses, and 6 ties.
  • ISU has won the last 7 games in the series.
  • The largest margin of victory was 52 points in ISU's 59-7 win in 2021.

I like that KU's defense is bad.

This may be a season defining type of game.

Hopefully karma doesn't come around for all those posts slamming KU football. It was as recent as 2019 that KU had ISU on the ropes in Ames.

This will be the typical “Tom Manning is great!” games where we all begin to question everything our eyes had seen last week. Then the next week we will go right back to shaking our heads because we won’t do anything that worked from the previous week.
Either this or he will still be trying to establish the run with a grand total of 30 rushing yards in the 3rd quarter

Kansas hasn't played a good defense yet, so that'll be a test of how solid they are. But they will get points.

Their defense is bad, so we should be able to set the pace. We just have to protect the ball better than we've been doing.
