On to Kansas Week Thread
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Thanks for starting this thread - we all need to move on.
Iowa State will lose. Big 12 has to protect it's Cinderella.
With apologies to the trademark of this:
"Kansas MUST be destroyed!"

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.
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.
i’m nervous about this one. especially with k-state, TX and OU as our next three.
Well if we lose this one we'll be fighting for a bowl spot.
I'm optimistic that Dekkers and Manning learned from this week and the refs will be more competent.

We lose this one it’s likely we start 0-5 in the conf.
ISU vs KU football trivia:
References:
- 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.
Either this or he will still be trying to establish the run with a grand total of 30 rushing yards in the 3rd quarter
I feel ISU matches up better against KU than against than against the power teams of BU and KSU.
Let’s hope they haven’t figured out our defense, especially against the pass
If people think the Big 12 is rigging games for Kansas after they complained about the Big 12 rigging games for Baylor, they need their head examined
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.

Three-and-outs and interceptions lost us the Baylor game. It's really that simple.
