Baylor and OSU

Well, I was somewhat right about the Baylor. But didn't expect the Bears to set an offensive record for yards against the Cats. Wow. Just wow. Chris Cosh... you sure are doing a bang up job with the defense.

Now it's OSU with their high-powered offense. At least their best WR got in trouble and might not play against KSU. There's something to believe in b/c the KSU defense will more than likely not get fixed before Saturday and will get torched once again.

But I will be in attendance to see this gem of a game.

I see it now:
OSU 45
KSU 21

KU game PLUS upcoming outlook

Wow, just wow on the KU game. That certainly was a fun game to watch and one I never saw coming. I figured KU had some fight in 'em, but no, they didn't.

It's good to be 5-1 going into the rest of the season, but don't get too comfortable just yet. K-State is about to enter a damn hard part of their schedule.

Baylor this Saturday. This isn't the Bears of old. Their QB (Griffin) is a stud and can run the ball (see what Taylor Martinez did to the Cats a few weeks back). This game is gonna be ugly for the Wildcats. In order to stop Baylor's offense, they have to stop their zone read. I see it... KSU 13, Baylor 37.

Then it's (now) undefeated Oklahoma State in Manhattan. Talk about THE surprise team in the Big XII. I thought they'd be at the bottom of the south division this year with all they had to replace. IF they beat the Huskers in Stillwater this week, they'll still be undefeated coming into Manhattan. Don't like this one either for the Cats... OSU 42, KSU 17.

Then it's on to the team that K-State OWNS; the Texas Longhorns. K-State won't own the Horns this year. UT just beat the Huskers in Lincoln. UT will do the same to the Cats... they're just too fast. UT 24, KSU 10.

Then KSU goes to Columbia to take on another surprising team in MU. Still undefeated and plays #1 OU in Columbia Saturday. MU's defense is STRONG, but offense isn't as explosive as past years. Cats lose this one too... KSU 7, MU 24.

Will Dan Hawkins still be the coach of the Buffaloes when K-State heads to Colorado? Look into the crystal ball... "Not Likely" comes up. But can K-State win this game to get them to bowl eligibility? I'll persobally be in Boulder for this one. I see it... KSU 27, CU 14.

North Texas... well, there's a certain "W" with this game. They're the worst team in Division I.

Sunflower Showdown 2010


Well, here it is again. The KU vs K-State football game. Both teams coming off blowout losses. Both embarassed. KU by Baylor and K-State by NU. So, at least someone has to win the game. Whomever loses the game... it's gonna be a rough end to the 2010 season.

Let me say this... NU is pretty damn good. We'll see how Texas does against the Huskers on Saturday. But in the meantime, I think K-State DOES get the "W" in Lawrence. But it will be tough.

The last Bill Snyder coached them that won on the road... 2005 against Marshall. OUCH!

So that does worry me - that the game is in Lawrence.

KSU: 28
KU: 21

NU Week!!


Well, it's Husker week and not as much time to wait for the game with the National ESPN audience on Thursday night.

Both teams are 4-0. Huskers are ranked #6 in the nation while the Cats are right outside the Top 25. The Huskers are coming off their worst game of the year against a Div II team; the Cats squeaked by a fiesty UCF team (and SHOULD have lost).

The NU defense is S O L I D. At first glance, they're better than the UCF defense who pretty much shut down the K-State offense until the 4th Quarter.

The K-State "bend don't break" defense will allow the Husker running game to get going early and if/when NU gets the lead, the 'Skers will not have to throw the ball all that often.

Bad feeling about this one even though it should be a great atmosphere for the game in Manhattan.

NU: 24
KSU: 6
