PrintIn some ways, today is an elimination day in the Big 12. Oklahoma State and Oklahoma have established themselves as the class of the conference, and anybody hoping to have a chance to at least force a tie at the top of the conference is going to need a win against one of the two. And somebody is going to need to knock off Okie State pretty soon, period, if anyone else is going to have a chance.
Enter the games in Stillwater and Norman today. K-State gets its last chance to get a win over one of the Okie schools and salvage a chance at the conference title. Over in the Oklahoma City suburbs, Oklahoma will try to once and for all put an end to any lingering hope Texas A&M may have of winning the conference.
On the other end of the spectrum, Iowa State has a chance to move within one win of bowl eligibility, while KU gets its only realistic chance at a conference win this season. For one reason, I think a KU win in this game would be good for K-State. If Iowa State gets this win, then the Cyclones will almost certainly arrive in Manhattan on December 3 playing for bowl eligibility. A desperate ISU is a dangerous ISU, and I want no part of a Paul Rhoads/Wally Burnham/Tom Herman coached team that is playing for its very life.
Keep an eye on the Missouri/Baylor game, too. At 4-3, Baylor is in real danger of not achieving bowl eligibility if it can't beat the Tigers at home. The Bears still have KU on the schedule, as well as Texas Tech and UT, but they're having to sweat for a bowl game a lot more than anyone would have thought in September.
This week's Big 12 schedule is below. Check out this week's Buffet for the national action to keep an eye on. Of course, we all know what the biggest game of the week is, and it's taking place in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. K-State's game thread will go live one hour before kickoff.

Lots of flags in Austin.
This has to be the most penalized set of downs in the history of CFB.

Impressed with Michigan's O-line.
D-Robinson just shifted around in the pocket for an eternity before throwing that TD pass.

Early thoughts on Texas-TT
I’m not afraid of UT’s designed run plays, we can shut that down. They will make some big pass plays, but they are still pretty raw in that area and will make mistakes too. Ash is a good scrambler, though, so we could get hurt that way.
Defensively, I’m not impressed with their Run-D. So far Tech has been getting 4-5 yards on each carry. Of course, they’ve oly run it like 4 times, so it is a small sample size. Their pass defense is smothering, though. That could be a big problem if they are able to stack the box and still shut down the pass.
In short, if we can get our running game going, we will win that game.
Would you like some Freys with that?
Well, the Texas running game is looking much better in the 2nd quarter.
Fozzy Whitaker is powering through tackles like there’s no tomorrow.

yea, it's not so much this one game, but if they win 2 in a row here
I probably worry more about the UT mental state than their talent. Once you get that talent believing they are as talented as they’ve been billed, it could be a dangerous combination that I think might be hard to slow down in Austin in 2 weeks. Though I’ll wait and see what occurs here in the 2nd half and the next game which is @ Mizzou. So if they steam roll two teams in a row I’m worried. Though I think Mizzou could fare well at home against the Longhorns. As young as the team is, inconsistency will be our friend prior to locking up with them.
"Nor yet in Dell?"
Yeah, this game has been the Fozzy Whitaker show so far
The longer this game goes on the less information it gives me.
Except that Tech can’t tackle Fozzy.

Cliff notes: their long-time DC (retired in 09) turned out to be a really sick perv,
and their AD covered it up, and then lied to a grand jury about it.

There's 8 boys over something like several years.
Legally, he’s innocent until proven guilty, but this looks VERY bad for all involved. Evidently JoePa reported the first instance, when a GA actually saw him doing it to one of the boys, and the AD sat on that information.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
Slight correction
He retired in ‘99 (’69-’99), but I believe the abuses continued after his retirement until ’09.
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
The story I first read said 09,
but every other one says 99. It could also be that I was confused by where it said the abuses occurred between 1994 and 2009.

They run a lot of shotgun set, and like their wing back. A lot of swing passes, did a nice reverse out of the set with two backs.

that was my guess
They just choked big time on a great scoring opportunity. Guy had damn near a pick 6. Must have been a block in the back on the return because he went out of bounds at about the 6yd line. Then when the offense had it, they were closer to the 20, I missed something obviously. Anyway, a dropped TD pass, a false start and 2 bad play calls later they shanked a FG from about the 12 yd line from the far hash.
"Nor yet in Dell?"
they don't appear to be too mentally tough
made the Cardinals punt, offense fumbled on the first snap following, which led to a long FG by Lullville, who’s up 24-21 now.

what, no confidence in Gill in the 2nd half
hasn’t he proven to be lights out in the 2nd half?
Oh wait, that’s when his team turns the lights out on themselves
"Nor yet in Dell?"
Now that Tech is actually running it, there offense is moving much better
In the first quarter they rushed it 6 times for 20 yards
In the second quarter they rushed it twice for 7 yards.
And yet, according to the announcers, this means that Texas is shutting down Tech’s running game.
I’m pretty sure that Tech is the one shutting down their own running game.
Would you like some Freys with that?
AND
On this TD drive they rushed it 5 times for 18 yards.
I think if they hadn’t been so pass-happy in the first half they would be in a better position right now.
Would you like some Freys with that?
by ChrisP Wildcat on Nov 5, 2011 1:27 PM CDT up reply actions
It was 5 times, not 15.
And I’m saying that now that they are rushing it their offense was able to move the ball consistently and they scored their first touchdown.
So they should have been rushing it more often the whole game. It’s a little too late to start rushing it alot now.
Would you like some Freys with that?
by ChrisP Wildcat on Nov 5, 2011 1:42 PM CDT up reply actions
I meant for the whole game, they had 15 for 18 yards
As in I don’t think it was ever working or going to work, but hey I am at work, not watching the game…
Where do you get 18 yards from?
When you account for sacks (4 for -28), they have (according to the Yahoo box score) 15 for 38. Still not great, though.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
From what I've seen
Tech has been able to run the ball, they just haven’t actually called that many running plays.
They had a bad stretch in the second quarter where they rushed 4 times, over three drives, for 0 yards.
But other than that they’ve had good yardage on their called running plays.
Would you like some Freys with that?
by ChrisP Wildcat on Nov 5, 2011 1:48 PM CDT up reply actions
Even accounting for that stretch,
you get 11 carries, for 38 yards, which is a full 2.5 yards less per play than they’re getting through their passing plays. And unlike sacks (which shouldn’t be counted as runs), there’s no reason to just discard those four runs for no gain. At 15 for 38 yards, I can’t say I’d call the game any differently as TTU’s OC.

Ah
I don’t count sacks for these purposes, because those are not runs, they are passing plays.
But I see where he is getting his numbers.

by ChrisP Wildcat on Nov 5, 2011 1:45 PM CDT up reply actions
Still though,
even after accounting for sacks, TTU is averaging 2.5 yards per rushing play, and 5.98 per pass. I can’t really blame them for getting pass-happy.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
I think that Run or Pass doesn't matter...
Its their Defense that has really let them down.
4 Completions for 125 yards and 8.8 YPC, yikes
And they can't tackle the Fozz for shit

by ChrisP Wildcat on Nov 5, 2011 1:54 PM CDT up reply actions
If you exclude the 2nd quarter, when they rushed 4 times for 0 yards
Then that is 11 times for 38 yards. That is 3.45 yards a rush. not gret but not bad.
Even when I cherry pick my stats it doesn’t help my argument.
Well, I refuse to give in. I substitute reality with my own and you can’t change my mind nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah.

Since this is the only active thread, going to post OSU commentary here.
Spread is -21 and O/U is at 70. I’m taking the Cats to cover and the under.
I heard a lot this week about how OSU’s Defense is on the field a ton (cause their offense is grease lightning) AND how proficient they are at takeaways. What happens to their D if they don’t get TOs?
IF KState can stick to their game plan this week and hold onto the football (would be nice to start with the ball too), I feel like we can be more than competitive. Feels like a game where stick around through the 1st half, tire out their D and hope to catch a couple of big play breaks (on D or ST).
You're brave.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
Well I'm not actually betting money
I just have this hunch that the contrarion view point feels right this week.
OSU defense is not good. Win the TO battle and HCBS can scheme doctor (shame face) us to victory.
It's a very long shot, but I hope you're right.
I don’t see the under holding, though, if KSU wants to have any shot. Their only chance is to force 3-4 FG-for-TD trades by the OSU offense.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
I like the logic ...
I think there’s a shot things can turn out that way. My nightmare for tonight would be that Bill Young has seen enough of our rushing offense to be able to choke it off a little and get us in 3rd and medium-to-long often. This game is on the O. Not fair, but that’s the way it is … maybe the D can force a couple of FGs vs TDs. We just have to keep the OSU on the sideline for unbearable stretches, like we did to Baylor. Unfortunately, OSU’s D is better than Baylor.
by Itchy n Scratchy on Nov 5, 2011 1:53 PM CDT up reply actions
If we assume that they have at LEAST 8 scoring drives (and they will)
I think the defense HAS to make at least 3 of those settle for FGs, leaving the Pokes at around 44 points. Our offense, then, would have to counter their 8 dives with at least 6 of our own, none of which could settle for FGs.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
How would that shift the basic calculus, though?
I can’t see any way OSU doesn’t get 40+ today, even with a couple of big plays on ST. I guess the one way I could see it happening is if Weeden has a pick-fest, and gives us 2-3 free possessions. In that situation, we might pull off some weird 35-34 type of win.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
I guess for us to win I am thinking we need
*at least a +2 in the TO department
*control the time of possession (maximizing our scoring chances)
*pull off the bend but don’t break Defense (hold to FG on at least 2 scoring drives)
*great ST play (both sides to help said Defense win field starting position battle)
You say 35-34 would be weird, why? Weird would be a 17-14 game.
I just think it would be "weird" to see the defense we saw last week,
hold this team under 40 points. Frankly, I’d be surprised a bit if we keep them under 50.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
and to more directly answer your question
It changes the calculus because we are statistically more likely to score on a shorter field and win with more possessions (from TOs).
So yeah, preventing OSU from getting to 40+ seems to be the best (likely only) way to win.
I can agree with that.
But I also think that holding OSU under 40 has a probability approaching zero.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
Have to keep Weeden in check
Texas and A&M kept them under 40 (barely)
Obviously, every positive statement in this entire comments section is farfetched and unlikely to occur, but why be so pessimistic and negative BEFORE the game. We have no control over the outcome.
I'd like to see us win the toss ...
Take the ball … drive 80 yards in 8+ minutes, scoring a TD.
Then forced a fumble on an OSU WR on the ensuing possession … take it in for another 7 (after another 3+ minutes, of course). 14-0.
Of course, I’d just settle for winning the toss and taking the ball first for a change. I’m getting pretty tired of these hyper-potent offenses getting the ball on us first and being down 7-0 after 2 minutes of game time.
by Itchy n Scratchy on Nov 5, 2011 2:22 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't really think there's a shot we win under xray's scenario ... I think there's a shot we cover.
And depending on how long we can keep the ball on O, a decent shot to force the under 70.
But if the O isn’t on it’s rushing game, this game is going over 70 and KSU is losing by more than 21.
by Itchy n Scratchy on Nov 5, 2011 2:02 PM CDT up reply actions
WAY more.
If our run game isn’t rolling, it’s going to be something like 56-20.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
Yeah, the way to the under-70 in that scenario would be that KSU's O sucked really really badly ...
And the final ended up something like 56-10.

This is what made me angry about last week's defensive schemes.
If we’d have flushed him with pressure a bit more, he WOULD have made at least a few more bad passes. Instead, we thought it might be a good idea to let him stand like a statue in the pocket and find his WRs.

I had that research done at some point, but don't remembe exact
want to say around 54. So sorta old to be just hiring, but he’s got a good 7 years or so in him at least one would think

55 in December.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
I was about to say...
I have a fan post I put up on here last year, and then pulled it because it was a classic no-news type of write up. I saved it on my computer and just breezed through it and saw he’s 4 years younger than Pinkel, that’s all I know. But I guess I was right about the 54 then…
"Nor yet in Dell?"
Yep.
I see Snyder coaching for 4-5 more years, so Leavitt would be almost 60 by then.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
which would mean he had a good 12-16 yeas in

Yea I thought when Snyder first came back he’d be around at least 7 years. So 3 down, I’m right there with you 4-5 years. That guy deserves a nat’l title.

I would support this, but it will never happen, I don't think.

I want aTm to get pounded
so they come here next week demoralized and beat up.
oh hail the Purple and White
They are

I'd be annoyed if aTm won
for that reason, and because we just got our ass beat by Oklahoma and I would just be pissed if they lose looking shitty the week before us and the week after.
Don't worry.
34-10 Oklahoma.

It will end up about 48-17
oh hail the Purple and White
I don't think aTm will score again.
They just threw another pick.
Oklahoma defense is lights out in the second half.

Amended prediction:
58-10. aTm sucks.
oh hail the Purple and White
And now it is 41-10

What's going on with Broyles on the sideline?
I’m still listening to the Northwestern radio.

Season-ending injury.
Knew it when I saw the replay. You could see the knee give just a bit, in a way that always indicates a ligament tear.

That would be a devastating injury for OU.
Figured it had to be bad when I saw he was in tears.

Definitely.
I can’t stand seeing a kid get a devastating injury like that.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
I NEVER want to see anyone hurt. Even Alexander.
I think he’s a thug on the field who probably should have been ejected from about three games in his career, but that doesn’t mean Broyles deserved to get hurt.

Beat me to it.
A guy who’s turned his life around like Broyles has doesn’t deserve a karma bitchslap for a jackwad like Alexander.

What's Broyles back story? Don't know much about him.

They were talking about it on the broadcast.
Evidently, he got in some trouble fairly serious trouble early in his time at OU, before making some serious changes in his life. He’s now the type of guy who works relief missions to Haiti and that type of thing. Just seems like a guy who, if he played for our team, would be pretty easy to root for.

I hope so too, but
I highly doubt it. His knee went VERY “loose” after he planted and it shifted.

May be a acl injury
sounds not too good.
oh hail the Purple and White
I don't like the Sooners
but I hope Broyles is not serioulsy hurt. He is a heck of a player and seems like a good kid.
oh hail the Purple and White
Couldn't tell on that one.
There wasn’t a “oh shit” moment like with Broyles.

Oklahoma scored 28 in the third quarter. Is that what they had against us?

21 and 14 I think in the 2nd half @KSU.

Northwestern just converted a 4th and 1 in Nebraska's red zone.
That may be a backbreaker.

Take two shots at it. If you don’t get it, Nebraska has to go at least 70 yards, into the wind, to have a chance at a tying field goal.

when un-l lost to ISU
the meltdown at work on Monday was to say the least entertaining. It was kind of fun to listen to the hive mind of how great un-l was despite the loss.

He was yapping at one of the officials.
It looked like a pretty clear TD to me.
