I like our defense, but Iowa, UNI, and UNLV will be 3 of the 4 worst offenses we face this year.Part of the reason we haven't played a team with an offensive pulse yet is the fact that they played us. It goes both ways. Our defense is legit.

You very well may be right. But after three games the offensive stats they put up against us weigh heavy on that perception.I like our defense, but Iowa, UNI, and UNLV will be 3 of the 4 worst offenses we face this year.
Yes, doesn't the ISU defense lead the nation in yards per play allowed and yards allowed per game?Part of the reason we haven't played a team with an offensive pulse yet is the fact that they played us. It goes both ways. Our defense is legit.
I just looked it up. ISU indeed leads the nation in both stats (192.7 ypg allowed; 2.6 ypp allowed). Baylor is currently 5th and 7th in those categories, respectively.Yes, doesn't the ISU defense lead the nation in yards per play allowed and yards allowed per game?
For me, the offensive and defensive team rankings after 3 weeks is irrelevant.I just looked it up. ISU indeed leads the nation in both stats (192.7 ypg allowed; 2.6 ypp allowed). Baylor is currently 5th and 7th in those categories, respectively.
Solid point. I guess where I see reason for optimism tomorrow is ISU is really good at stopping what Baylor has made their hay on so far, which is running the football. Force Baylor to become one-dimensional and I think we win going away, so long as the offense plays an average at minimum game. Might be asking too much though.I like our defense, but Iowa, UNI, and UNLV will be 3 of the 4 worst offenses we face this year.
I'll admit I consume some of the SicEm 365 content on their site and on youtube...but some of the takes are hilariously bad.
Some of their realignment "stories" are like if you took the least fact based posts from this site and turned it into a Wayne's World style TV network.
If they cover I will take a 'virtual' beer to help save your retirement.
On the other hand if we beat Texas and OK (OuT), and win the Big 12, I will gladly accept that beer, virtual or real!
ESPN's FPI gives us a better chance to win against KSU and TX than @ Baylor and @ Tech..
I see another close game.
20-13 Cyclones
If we can get Hall going like he was for 2020's conference play... This could be a fun stretch of games leading into Homecoming as KU is a pushover and KSU isn't great without Thompson
is thompson definitely out for that game? I know he is injured but haven't read any time table for his return (and haven't looked).
Thompson is out for oSu. After that, it's supposedly a game-to-game decision.@surly thinks he is a week-by-week decision and not out for the year. I'd rather play them now than in 2 weeks to get him more healthy
Having lost one of their best d-lineman last week will hopefully make things difficult for them.We'll know about K-State Saturday night. Will Howard is clearly not as good as Skylar Thompson. But Howard had a solid outing v. Nevada. His game is more like Collin Klien's. That said, the biggest change for K-State has been on the defensive side.
Complaining is human nature. Complaining about ISU sports, football in particular is a Cyclone sub-specialty.We ALWAYS "complain" about players being healthy for us. I'll never get it.
The defense won’t. We know this. It’s all up to Brock in my mind.
She used to write exclusively in purple comic sans font but an upgrade to the site no longer allowed that so she switched to purple italics. I think she has gotten lazy on using the purple though.Why does Surly write in italics?
If X and Charlie are on the left side, Brock will look left every time.
Poor Chase. and the other wide receiver on the right.
They will never be looked at or targeted.
If Breece swings out, the ball is going to him.
Even Big 12 conference defences will eventually figure that out.
