KState pregame thread

Our defense will be really good this year. The offense will be set up with short field opportunities because their qb will make costly mistakes.

I did a rewatch of last year's game. Every "lucky" play went to ISU. 2 fumble recoveries. 1 blocked field goal. 1 safety. I noticed that Becht was 13-35 passing with 4-5 dropped picks by KSU. Some commentator said he wasn't sold on Becht to win this. KSU will stack the box, stuff the run, and blitz the QB. Passing game needs to be much better to win this. We won't have any good punt returns or blocks of kicks this game. IMO the key to the game is Becht seeing an open lane and using his legs. He can't roll out right, wait, and then throw the ball out of bounds to end the play. Bowman did this at OSU last year and they lost every conference game. WTBS I also rewatched the CCG against ASU and our backup QB was way off on accuracy - missing 2 open TD throws by about 10 yards each. So if Rocco gets hurt, it could be a big problem for the rest of the season.

Thank you for this insight. Knowing this, I hope the team flies back home because we have zero way of winning this football game.

Honestly, should just sell the team and invest all our FB budget into basketball

I was at that game. I usually don't mind the cold but that game was miserably cold. Imagine how hard the.ball was without even trying to comprehend throwing it or catching it.

I'm way more concerned with Edwards than Giddens. Giddens was a little slow footed and never hurt us much. That said, we also shut down the ultra shifty Vaughn, which makes me think it was a scheme advantage. But Edwards is dynamic. If KSU's new OC changes things, a shifty back that can make a quick cut against the grain worries me more than a north-south guy like Giddens.

I’m not too concerned about that. Our defense is hurt more by physical backs that can move the chains than backs like Edwards.

I think having Brehmer back will help relieve some of that pressure. Having a big guy there as your check down should be nice to keep the defense honest.

Also, it is unfortunate that backup QBs never get better with an offseason under their belt.

If it's one thing about sportsball, it's that all things that happen in one game or situation from the previous season or week or 5 minute stretch are just the way everything is all the time going forward.
