Whistlebritches Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 This pretty much sums it up. I'm far more concerned about the game in Stillwater than I am with the wildcats. I wouldn't be too concerned with Okie Lite right now. Offensively their good but defensively they're struggling Quote Link to comment
Eric Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Even if they score 42 points we will still win the game. Their defense looks bad Quote Link to comment
bshirt Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 All we have to do is shut their running back down, we do that and the games over. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment
JOEY Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment
