Big12Northtalk Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I think the huskers proved themselves but who in the Big 12 North needs to prove something? I think its Missouri or Kansas. Both need to win this weekend IMO Quote Link to comment
husker B-rent Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 kansas....they have not looked that good..... Quote Link to comment
Big12Northtalk Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 kansas....they have not looked that good..... Yeah they haven't looked good at all. They kind of remind me of the 2004 Missouri Tigers, good offensive weapons but the defense is MIA. Quote Link to comment
J_2_THA_BONE Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Agreed, KU they look like the worst undefeated team left remaining and have no defense. ISU exposed them and they escaped with a win. Quote Link to comment
BigRedPowerWagon Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I voted for ISU. 2 close conference games. I think its time to put up a win here. Quote Link to comment
kansas husker Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I would say Missori they were came into big 12 play thinking they had one of the top passing attacks in the nation they were hekd to just 134 passing yards they need to show up this week aginst osu or the wheels could really fall off the season and quick Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Overall in the Big 12, OU has the most to prove. If it's just the North, then Kansas would be my vote Quote Link to comment
rkhufu7 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Texas, they haven't played anyone and have not looked impressive in doing so and are ranked in the top 5 and might not be that good at all. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Kansas, by far and away, has the most to prove. After a lackluster performance against ISU where if Arnaud had connected on his touchdown pass ISU could have won, Kansas needs to prove that they aren't just a speed bump in the road to the Big 12 title game. So far, they've won by a touchdown against a fairly poor Southern Miss team and the won by less than a touchdown to a pretty bad ISU team. Offensively, they can score some points. Defensively, they keep giving up points. As soon as they meet a team with an above average defense and a pretty powerful offense, they are going to be in trouble. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 How about CU? Burning the young qb's redshirt midway through the season needs to show that it was the right thing to do. Plus you know the buff's fans are thinking "if ISU can come within a dropped wide open pass to beating KU surely we can have a shot to win." Quote Link to comment
rcruter Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 NU, KU, MU, TX, OKS, OU, TT all have interesting situations and will be entertaining to see how it plays out. Not a lot was learned in that monsoon game, this weekends game with TT will be more of a test if the track is dry. OKS and MU will be intriguing. Houston exposed OKS but will Mu coaches get away from trying to be balanced and attack more with the pass? How is the new, improved cowboy D doing? OU/TX should be very good. can ku's d be effective against a bad CU offense? Quote Link to comment
Big12Northtalk Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Overall in the Big 12, OU has the most to prove. If it's just the North, then Kansas would be my vote Yeah just the north, I mean outside of OU and Texas, nobody in the South needs to prove anything. Baylor can prove they can be a bowl team this year without griffin but I doubt it. A&M proved to me that they would be a tough team and are going to a bowl this year. Okie State may need to prove it is still in the conversation in the Big 12 south against Missouri (a perceived better team than A&M). And then their is Tech, which can only prove this weekend that they are with the Big boys. But the North this weekend has a more intriguing weekend: -Nebraska needs to prove they are part of the elite in the Big 12 by showing up after a huge win. And to some dissenters that the game against Missouri wasn't a fluke. - Kansas needs to prove they can get style points against bad teams and prove they can beat Nebraska with defense instead of offense. - Missouri needs to prove they can get back into the Big 12 North race with a win over a pretty unimpressive Oklahoma State. Missouri has won in Stillwater the past 2 meetings. -Iowa State has to win this weekend. They have played so well against K-State and Kansas and have come up short. They need to beat Baylor this weekend or they may not get to a bowl. If they win this weekend, they need to beat Colorado and then upset either A&M, Nebraska, Missouri, or Ok State to get to a bowl.

captain obvious Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 NU needs to have a solid game against Tech to keep up its momentum. I think this is a critical point not only for this season, but for the long-term outlook of the program. Win decisively for the next month, and the media hype will continue to grow. People will keep talking about Suh, recruiting will continue to pick up with all the positive media exposure, and the players will continue to gain confidence. I would hate to be Oklahoma, facing Nebraska with that kind of momentum in November. This is a big game for NU. Win this game and they are well on their way. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I voted for ISU. 2 close conference games. I think its time to put up a win here. I went with ISU as well. After the past two weekends of close losses they get Baylor at home. If they dont win this game then there will be no reason for them to play the rest of the year because reaching a bowl will be out of the question. Quote Link to comment
captain obvious Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Nebraska should be on this poll. They still have plenty to prove. Quote Link to comment
