As big as the Miss State win was ......it was still an UGLY win on our part. We will need to show ALOT of improvement from week 1 to week 2 to pull this game out.
Both teams put up a lot of points. Oestricher again kicks 3 field goals.

Kansas 34

I'm curious to see how much pressure we put on their quarterback and how much they put on Taylor B. I think that'll be the game "indicator". Just watched the highlights film of the Giants/Patriots superbowl game. Defense won!!
Spangler will get some pressure if our guys can stay fresh!!
Dawgs win I'm thinking.
Enough of this heart and head nonsense. Man up and quit riding the fence. No one will criticize you for picking a loss unless we win.
Dawgs win 38 to 30
Kwame Jordan gets 2 sacks and we cause 3 interceptions yet again.
Their front 7 is geared more towards stopping the run than rushing the pass. I think we do a better job holding them off than we did last game.Quote:

coming off big win, dealing with hurricanes, plus playing a very good team on the road that is not exactly pleased with their game one performance. i don't think we are as good as last week's win and i don't think we are as bad as this week's loss. i think this is the best team we will play all year.
but i picked moo state last week, so what do i know?
We will keep the game close if we get the same play from defense and special teams. The Kansas offense seems to be similar to Tech's under Crowton. I am afraid our depth with catch up with us in the end. If they make a new rule banning substitutions I think the Dawgs would win.
In reality I fell the score will be:
Kansas 31
LA Tech 20
Ok I gotta ask...Depth? Didn't we use 22 players last week on D? Kansas isn't a team full of 4 star guys here (as much as Lum hates it when we bring up recruiting stars). They are like us (w/ more 3 stars). They rely on coaching to develop guys along their ability to find the guys that were undervalued by the recruiting sites.

I wish I felt otherwise, but we lose by at least 14 unless we win the turnover game and execute flawlessly. This is at their house, and they are not slouches.
Juice- I'm worried about our depth on O-Line, D-Line, and linebacker. I certainly hope that I am wrong. I do think there is a remote chance that we can play extremely well and win (3+ turnover margin). I feel very confident that we will fight to the end and keep this thing close.Quote:

We are fairly thin at linebacker and Quin not being 100% is bad. He is our best coverage linebacker. That said I look for us to be in nickle or a 4-2-5 most the game. Brian White and Quin starting with a rotation of Faust, Brannon Jackson, Darby coming in. Seeing as how Kansas won't line up in the I or with 2 tightend sets we can depend a little less on having linebackers on the field.
There are also 2 more freshman to keep an eye on that we might see this game. Darrius Terry and Adrien Cole. Darrius could really help us in coverage and give us a bigger corner to depend on. Adrien just gives us a little bit more breathing room at linebacker. At 240 pounds he is also a big body that would require attention from the offense.
