Kansas St - What awaits us?

[Whistlebritches]

Like the article says, Daniel Thomas is all they have. Their quarterback is mediocre at best and their defense is a sieve. They have lacking talent at wr, so dont be suprised if we just dont base it up with a 3rd linebacker, play man on the edges and just bring on mr thomas.

 

This pretty much sums it up. I'm far more concerned about the game in Stillwater than I am with the wildcats.

I expect with our playmakers on D that on every single snap we'll be able to have as many as three guys keyed on Thomas.

We have have the same plan as we did against washington in the second half. When chris polk got the ball in the first half he was getting 4-5 yards a pop, after that it was 1-2 yards. This staff knows how to stop a running game, color me not worried.

I wouldn't be too concerned with Okie Lite right now. Offensively their good but defensively they're struggling

[Eric]

Even if they score 42 points we will still win the game. Their defense looks bad

It's hard to imagine KSU even slowing down much less stopping Tmart/Roy/Rex. We'll score fast and often.

 

While Thomas is a stud he's all they got and it should be easy for Bo/Carl to stop. For those two it's child's play. KSU doesn't present much of a threat at all imo.

All we have to do is shut their running back down, we do that and the games over.

I'm not that worried about KSU, either. They're currently 83rd in the country against the run, after playing a schedule even weaker than ours. They're giving up 176 yards per game to Iowa State, UCLA and Missouri State. That doesn't bode well for shutting down the Huskers.

 

On the flip side, Daniel Thomas is 2nd in the nation in rushing, and he's gaining yards in huge chunks. The guy is legit, but as everyone seems to agree, if they rely solely on him, Bo will find a way to shut him down, or failing that to slow him down enough to make it impossible to keep up with our offense.

 

No Snyder-coached team is "easy" to beat these days. But this one isn't a juggernaut.

We'll be stacking the box early against KSU forcing them to make throws and relying on our CB's to make plays in man to man coverage.

 

How KSU does will depend on how well their QB can throw short passes under pressure to guys who are covered like white on rice in a paper plate in a snow storm.

Daniel Thomas is a BIG-time player........and our run D hasn't exactly been sharp

 

Ya I'm a lil worried.......

Why would you be worried? Carl stated that sometimes you give up more from the running game with our defensive set up and that they can adjust this if they need to.

I doubt that we'd have any trouble pulling Hagg for half the game and going back to a base 4-3 with Whaley as the third LB. If we score like I think we should score, half the game should put us ahead by three scores, then they're going to have to abandon the run if they hope to win.
