Those are the NCAA FBS rankings of 4 of our previous opponents in Rushing Defense. Maybe our poor rushing performances contributed to their high ranking, but I would also consider the argument valid that they are pretty good at stopping the run.

Cincinnati

I actually thought Murry looked pretty dang good last week. Better than he has all year at least.

It seemed like he was closer to breaking out with a game reminisint of what we thought he would be last year.

How's KSU against the run?

I've been thinking 50 plus pts this Saturday! Those stats may make me rethink it to 60 plus.

I just want to see us get up big and not give up 14 in the 4th qt to make the score look worse

I think it all depends on when Bob sends in the 4th string.

I think it all depends on when Bob sends in the 4th string and if he runs any passing plays.

These Big 12 North road games with 1100-ish kickoffs make me nervous. and it's KSU's homecoming, which didn't work well last year (CU, ISU). Hence I'm nervous about the game.

That said, we on paper should win by 30-40.

I think Bob should leave the starters in all game regardless of how big the score gets. The dumbass voters in the polls and the computers seem to think bs like usc did this past weekend are more impressive than quality wins. Which is why I think removing the quality win component was the dumbest BCS tweak ever.

Yup. I hated that last minute TD. Knew it would make a diff in the normal, run-of-the-mill moron voter's mind.

Cincy scored a literal last second TD to make the score look better than it was. Until the opponent starts taking their foot off the gas, we need to keep rolling. Idiot ESPN commentator said that we "only" beat KU by 14. 2 problems with that:

1. Beating the #16 team by 2 TD's isn't an "only" scenario
2. We quit playing halfway through the 4th quarter and KU scored a meaningless TD with 1 minute to go in the game.

Please, Bob. If Halzle goes in, allow him to actually run the offense instead of handoffs into the line. Please.
