Kicking the Tires: Oklahoma State Cowboys

This is the face of your nightmares, Chris Cosh. One of them, anyway.  (Photo by Brett Deering/Getty Images)

Fresh off a 41-point loss to one school from the State of Oklahoma, K-State has to regroup to face another Okie school. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, this is the stronger version. And the game is on the road.

You'll see the stats below, but Oklahoma State is scary in just about every way imaginable. They can run, they can really throw, and while they give up a lot of yards, they don't give up a lot of points and they force turnovers. Did I mention that K-State has only once -- against KU, or course -- scored as many points in a single game as the Pokes average per game?

Star-divide

Players to Watch

K-State

Rushing: John Hubert, 134 carries, 708 yards, 5.3 yards/carry, 2 TD, 88.5 yards/game

Passing: Collin Klein, 90-154-3, 992 yards, 8 TD, 6.4 yards/attempt, 124 yards/game

Receiving: Chris Harper, 28 receptions, 320 yards, 11.4 yards/reception, 3 TD, 40 yards/game

Defensive Line: Ray Kibble, 23 tackles, 4.0 TFL, 1.0 sacks

Linebackers: Arthur Brown, 60 tackles, 5.5 TFL, 2.0 sacks, 1 INT

Secondary: David Garrett, 51 tackles, 3.0 TFL, 0.5 sacks, 2 INT

Oklahoma State

Rushing: Joseph Randle, 135 carries, 842 yards, 6.2 yards/carry, 16 TD, 105.2 yards/game

Passing: Brandon Weeden, 246-345-7, 2,710 yards, 22 TD, 7.9 yards/attempt, 338.8 yards/game

Receiving: Justin Blackmon, 74 receptions, 834 yards, 11.3 yards/reception, 104.2 yards/game

Defensive Line: Richetti Jones, 22 tackles, 3.5 TFL, 2.0 sacks, 1 INT

Linebackers: Caleb Lavey, 50 tackles, 1.0 TFL, 1 INT

Secondary: Daytawion Lowe, 58 tackles, 2.0 TFL, 2.0 sacks, 1 INT

Oklahoma State's offensive balance is incredible. The Pokes have thrown the ball 372 times against 270 runs (382/260 if you factor in sacks). So you can't load up on the run without getting burned by Weeden and Blackmon, among others, and you can't load the box and man up on the outside. Not that we would anyway, of course. Even worse, Oklahoma State has only allowed 10 sacks on the season, which is tied for 25th nationally. Bringing pressure isn't likely to result in a sack, and few quarterbacks are better than Weeden at beating the blitz.

I hesitate to even mention this, because it's easy to dismiss as a nonfactor, but it's supposed to be windy in Stillwater on Saturday. Yeah, yeah, I know, it's always windy on the Great Plains. But it's supposed to be really windy, with sustained winds of at least 20 miles per hour and gusts above 40 mph. Of course, by the time the game kicks off at 7:00 p.m. on the last day of Daylight Savings Time, the wind will probably have tapered off some.

Team Statistics (from CFBStats.com)

Rushing Offense

K-State: 209.9 yards/game, 20th nationally

Oklahoma State: 181.9 yards/game, 41st

Passing Offense

K-State: 130.5 yards/game, 113th

Oklahoma State: 373.3 yards/game, 4th

Total Offense

K-State: 340.4 yards/game, 93rd

Oklahoma State: 555.1 yards/game, 4th

Rushing Defense

K-State: 103.4 yards/game, 16th

Oklahoma State: 185.5 yards/game, 84th

Pass Efficiency Defense

K-State: 82nd

Oklahoma State: 25th

Total Defense

K-State: 381.3 yards/game, 59th

Oklahoma State: 455.6 yards/game, 110th

The good news? Oklahoma State gives up a lot of yards, and isn't particularly good against the run, which is K-State's offensive strength. Even better, K-State is very good at avoiding turnovers, which is what the Pokes thrive on. If K-State can establish the run and protect the ball, then the Wildcats will have a chance to hang with the Cowboys on Saturday.

But Oklahoma State's offense is going to be a nightmare for K-State's defense. I talked with a good friend today who played football, and he confirmed that K-State played 100 percent zone against Oklahoma. He thinks Chris Cosh should at least try some man-to-man defense, giving Nigel Malone the chance to jam opposing receivers at the line. Of course, the fear is that tall receivers, like Blackmon, will burn that type of coverage on fade and jump-ball routes given that Malone is only 5'10" and David Garrett is only listed at 5'8".

One thing we agreed on is that Arthur Brown has to get better in pass coverage. Keep an eye on him Saturday. Against the spread offenses in the Big 12, he's often pulled out of the middle of the field. The instincts that make him a good linebacker against the run hurt him in pass coverage, as he tends to get out of position in his zone because his instincts tell him to play a man.

So K-State has a chance to control the ball against Okie State, but things likely aren't going to go well when the Cats are on defense. What about the hidden-yardage stats? Glad you asked.

Turnover Margin

K-State: +9, 8th nationally

Oklahoma State: +19, 1st

Penalties

K-State: 44.0 yards/game, 31st

Oklahoma State: 58.1 yards/game, 83rd

Third-Down Conversions

K-State: 46.2 percent, 31st

Oklahoma State: 52.0 percent, 5th

Red-Zone Conversions

K-State: 85 percent, 40th

Oklahoma State: 89.1 percent, 22nd

Time of Possession

K-State: 34:23, 3rd

Oklahoma State: 27:14, 112th

It's no surprise that the huge differential is in time of possession. Like the other quick-strike offenses in the Big 12, Oklahoma State does not excel at holding on to the ball. But when you score 49.9 points per game, that's not a big deal. Through eight games, Oklahoma State has forced 29 turnovers, which is kind of a lot, but eight games is kind of a lot to call that a fluke. And when you have 29 takeaways, you can afford a fair amount of giveaways and still lead the country in turnover margin. Oklahoma State is turning the ball over more than once per game, and Weeden is throwing almost one interception per game on average. As usual, turnovers will be huge in this game. If K-State can take care of the ball and force a few turnovers, then the Wildcats have a chance to hang around. Wait, did I write that sentence already?

Because it seems like I'm repeating myself now, it must be time to wrap up this post. Writing this post has given me reasons to hope, but the hope is only that K-State is going to keep this game close, or maybe even just respectable. I hate to say that, because it sounds disrespectful to the players, who are busting their ass all week and trying to win every game. But beating Okie State would be a monumental accomplishment. K-State loses its second straight, 47-31.

I think the Cats will lose by 3+ TDs

As soon as OSU gets up by more than 2 TDs, the Cats will start to pass and pass, and Klein will be a statue, and the game will end. If Blackmon has less than 200 yards, I’ll be surprised. I also think Weeden has a great chance to break his career high too. Yuck.

One of the things I was really surprised at during the OU game ...

Was that we went the pass-pass-pass route when we got down by multiple scores in the 2nd half.

Doesn’t make any sense for this team in any scenario other than if we:
a) Are down a score really late and it’s our last chance
b) Are down multiple scores and it’s late enough we have to score quickly on each drive

We are who we are. With HBCK at the helm, we have to run. That includes when we’re down 3+ scores earlier than 10 minutes left in the game.

by Itchy n Scratchy on Nov 4, 2011 11:19 AM CDT up reply actions  

I will say, though not disagreeing with you entirely

the pass-pass-pass route also came at a point in time in the 2nd half where the series before our runs didn’t get us much positive yardage either. So I think that was part of the three consecutive pass plays (that I didn’t like seeing either). Would of liked to see a Hubert swing pass or some more Wildcat formation with Pease at least once in that mix.

"Nor yet in Dell?"

by GTcat on Nov 4, 2011 12:51 PM CDT up reply actions  

Agreed ... at that point in time, OU had figured us out quite a bit.

I guess I’d rather see either an adjustment along the lines of what you mention, or adjustments to our running game.

All I know is, whenever we end up one-dimensional this year and that dimension is the passing game … we are f*ed. So I’d like to see that option as the last resort, which I kind of didn’t think we had gotten to yet. Wouldn’t have made a difference last Saturday, I just don’t really want to see it cost us in a game that’s marginally more winnable … i.e. the defense actually makes a couple of stops at some point.

Since KSU losing last week has officially ended all my superstitious "predict a win but still sound pessimistic" nonsense

So I will try a different tack this week.

We are going to win, and it will not be close. We are going to get the ball first, pound it down the field for 8 minutes, and score a touchdown.

OSU comes out, and Weedon throws one of his one per game picks to Nigel Malone. We drive down the field in 5 minutes and score another touchdown to go up 14-0 as the first quarter ends.

OSU gets a quick touchdown on the next drive, but KSU once again drives the ball for 8 minutes and get the touchdown, going up 21-7 with 5 minutes left. OSU is able to drive down the field, but can’t get into the end zone and attempts a field goal, which Guidry blocks. KSU runs out the clock and goes into the half with a 21-7 lead.

In the second half OSU comes out firing and gets another quick touchdown. KSU responds with (finally) a bona-fide screen that goes the distance. On the next drive the Pokes are starting to panic a little bit and end up punting, which Lockett returns for the touchdown. KSU goes into the fourth up 35-14.

OSU scores on a 3 minute drive to close the gap to 35-21, but KSU drives the field for another 8 minute drive and gets a field goal to extend the lead to 38-21. OSU starts passing like crazy, and drives the field, but can’t get into the end zone on fourth and goal. KSU runs out the clock to win the game, 38-21.

Make sure to ignore any records next to the KSU name in any future articles you read on the Wildcats.

good post

One thing to add. Weeden has only thrown one interception since conference play started. He was a little erratic in non-conf play and has since settled down. That said, he is a bit of a gunslinger and is capable of throwing a couple picks when he forces passes into way too tight spots. Along these lines, I would absolutely agree with your assessment of playing a good mix of man and zone. Weeden will tear apart a pure zone secondary.

by samuelbryant on Nov 4, 2011 11:09 AM CDT via iPhone app reply actions  

This has been mentioned before

but there is a difference between a QB throwing a pick, and a defender getting a pick. At least two of Malone’s interceptions have been because he jumped the route on a well thrown ball (TTU pick 6, and at least one last week against OU). Rat’s pick 6 against Kent State was also like this. Zimmerman’s pick against Franklin was also very similar.

Just because Weeden has cleaned up the sloppy gunslinging, does not mean we won’t be able to force a turnover (I’m not suggesting that is what you are saying either, samuelbryant). I think our guys should be able to be just as prepared to identify keys on certain routes against Weeden as they were to recognize keys against Doege and Jones (and Franklin).

Take a second look at the pic … I’m seeing Stan Humphries on his last legs.

I like the NFL OK.

I just don’t have the passion for it that I do for college football.

I certainly get excited when the Chiefs/Chargers are doing well, but if they are doing poorly it doesn’t bother me too much.

And to be honest, if I wasn’t a K-State fan I don’t think I would be that into college football. I live and breathe K-State, so that is why I follow it so obsessively.

Having a team you feel connected with definitely helps.

I am definitely more into college football than I am NFL, but I still have a hard time watching 2 teams I have no association with.

If the Bama/LSU game was not on at the same time as ours, I would most likely watch, but if my neighbor called me and asked me to go out to eat with him, I would likely go. There is no way I am missing a KSU game if there is a way I can see it (either in person or on TV).

I usually watch the BCS MNC game because it is usually entertaining, but I’m not going to be upset if I don’t get to see it.

by Jeremy Sharp on Nov 4, 2011 12:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

pretty much the same here

I tried connecting with an NFL team, but they’re not on TV enough around here. It’s just not the same as college. Though I can usually be somewhat entertained by 2 random NFL teams, but I think that’s more of a by-product of me not doing much around the house on Sundays than anything. I can “not watch college football” if it doesn’t involve KSU…though if I’m at home I could almost watch any other aired conference TV game start to finish. It gets harder for me to watch Florida-Arkansas or worse yet, Stanford-Notre Dame or something like that. I would rather Roll Tire on BOTC than watch that junk…unless of course I see on a bottom ticker it’s a close game in the 4th qtr then I could sit down and watch.

Agreed.

It is much more likely I will watch another Big12 game start to finish than an SEC game (or dreadful B1G).

And yeah, I can sit and watch NFL games on Sunday, but that is really more for Fantasy football than anything else. I could just as easily watch reruns of “Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman” on Sundays to kill time. (Seriously, I like that show.)

I like rooting for the Chargers because I grew up in San Diego...

and during that time they made a Super Bowl appearance (albeit one in which they were routed by the 9ers! ARRGH! Had to do extra chores for a week after that because I bet my mom they would win).

Also a (bad) Padres fan, because my baseball team would go to Padres games all the time. This was back when they had Tony (and at one point Chris) Gwynn. Unfortunately since watching baseball on TV usually bores me to sleep I don’t really follow it and have no idea how the Padres are doing as a franchise.

But, yeah, to get back on track, I usually only make it a point to watch the NFL because of FF. I’ll watch it, but I won’t avoid other things in order to watch it (unless the “other things” involve gardening).

And it’s been WAAAAAAY too many years since I’ve had reason to tune into a game, until this season.

Speaking of Fantasy Football...

Would you (or anyone) be interested in joining my league next year?

The Fantasy Football League of Ordinary Gentlemen (FFLOG) is looking to expand beyond its current 10 team membership for next season. Would definitely like to get to 12 teams (for stability purposes), but would not be opposed to growing to a 16 team super league (you know, for the money associated with more entrance fees).

Anyone who is interested let me know, and I can get you more info on the league rules and whatnot.

by Jeremy Sharp on Nov 4, 2011 1:26 PM CDT up reply actions  

I am interested

Would depend on the entrance fee size.

I have to warn you, though I am not very good, just mediocre. I’ve been to lots of post-season play, but never made it to the big game. I also can only bring you the Perry-Lecompton market, but it is a fanatical market, so we make up in passion what we lack in numbers.

My team this year would be great if I had drafted anybody other than Chris Johnson in the first round. Ugh. I have Newton and Eli Manning, so I am set at QB. I have Steve Smith, Vincent Jackson and Nicks for my WRs, and I have Graham for my TE. My other RBs are Gore and Matthews, who have performed well, but have not been able to replace Johnson’s pre-season value. I have finally benched him for Chris Ogbonnaya this week. Awful.

Some have said my league is a bit too rich for their blood.

$50 entry fee, and $5 transactions (free agent and waiver pickups).

The overall high scorer each week gets a $10 prize.

I am no FF guru (I think I have done FF now since 2003), have never won the big game (heck, I think 4th is the highest I have ever finished), but definitely have fun with it.

My first pick was LaSean McCoy. Not bad, but probably could have gotten better value with the 5th overall pick of the draft. Now, it has to be said that I run a PPR league, so a guy like McCoy (or even Sproles) has more value than in other leagues. I also give credit for return yardage (I did this with Sproles in mind, and then I went and drafted DT instead of Sproles…dumbest decision I made in the draft).

I stayed away from Peyton (and as a consequence all of the Indy WR and TE), Chris Johnson, and all Chiefs offensive players. With the exception of Garcon, those were all good players to avoid.

I got Big Ben as my QB, who is not great (but picked him up in the 5th or 6th round I believe), but landed Larry Fitzgerald (still waiting for him and Kolb to get on same page) and Hakeem Nicks.

Gore has turned out to be a big scorer in my league (so was McFadden until he got hurt). Fred Jackson has been a good performer as well. And since it is a PPR league, Wes Welker has generally been amazing. Fortunately the guy who got Brady did not get Welker as well. That honor went to the guy with Drew Brees and Fred Jackson. LOL!

Got a good group right now (there are three of us KSU homers in the league), just want to grow the pot a little bit and make things a bit more challenging.

Although I’ve been doing a good job of refraining this year, thanks to past years were I let go somebody who explodes two weeks later.

Are trades considered a billable transaction? Do you guys actually have a lot of trades go down? I n the league I am in, there are a few, but if someone isn’t interested in your trade offer they never respond to you. I find it to be really frustrating.

Trades are not billable transactions

The idea was to encourage trading.

I guess the $5 hasn’t scared too many people though, because we are still waiting for our first trade of the season.

And we’ve had 49 transactions, or an additional $245 added to the original $500 pot.

$745 total pot, $140 in weekly prizes (weekly prizes not awarded during playoffs). #rd place gets $50 entry fee back, and remainder is split 70/30 for 1st and 2nd. $388 for 1st place…not too shabby.

The trade thing is also a reason I want to expand the league

With only 10 teams, you can draft a pretty decent team. And there are still decent players available to pick up later. So people seem to be hesitant to actually trade players.

With added teams, the pool of players available to pick up after the draft shrinks considerably (especially if I could hit the homerun Larry Scott tried and expand to 16 teams).

Going to the Game this weekend

Haven’t been around this week, not exactly sure why. Maybe BOTC was part of the memory I deleted when I erased that 2nd half vs OU. Anyway I’ll be headed to Stillwater this weekend for what will be my first visit to a K-State road game. I’m thourougly excited about this. I’ve literally only been to a woman’s basketball game @ Allen Fieldhouse back in the Wecker days and the 1998 Big 12 Championship game that have been away from Manhattan.(Both of those were far more purple than the opposing color). I’m staying with some friends from juco days, drinking with them, and god willing I’ll be taunting them after a big, big Wildcat victory. I may put up a fanshot about my first experience at a true road game next week. See ya around BOTCers.

have fun, this was supposed to be my yearly road game this year

have been trying to go to one per year since I graduated, I guess the 2nd half at KU will have to count this year (or a bowl game), but my buddy from Texas (this is the excuse I use to go hang with him for a weekend he lives near Denton) bailed on me.

I'll be there also

but in their student section. The ticket was $35 vs $90. I’m going in with the mentality of stroking their egos and conceding that we will probably lose, so that when we pull off the upset it will be all the sweeter.

seems like they cut the part where they rode it to OSU and took out Blackmon and Weeden, but it works…

Wow.

That is really awesome.

Would you like some Freys with that?

my cousins posted that on facebook a week ago

Pretty impressive. They weren’t involved, so this thing has truly gone viral if its coming back around now on a fansite

That's cool!

First to identify a TEWWT (so what if it was unintentional)
