OSU offense come alive, WV makes good throws to hold off ISU plus a goal line fumble. What are your thoughts for this game?
Iām torn between thinking weāll roll them, and thinking itāll be another 4th quarter one score game. (Itās probably going to be another 4th quarter one score game.)
Going to be close. Morgantownās never easy. Luckily 2:30 kick.
Looks like we are 3-point favorites and the over/under is 50 1/2
If the offense from Kansas shows we roll, if the offense from ISU shows then a 4qtr game. It could be another race to 31.
Defensive line for WVU will be a test to see if Spencer continues his improved pocket presence.
Iām thinking as long as we donāt turn over the ball (ISU had a pick six and goal line fumble to lose) we should win.
Hereās the thing about the Big 12, outside of OU, we are all middle to upper middle class football teams. Lots of parity. Many of those games come down to turnovers, penalties and special teams. This game will probably be similar. I do think we are more talented. But WVU has some talent. They arenāt OU but they arenāt KU.
Doege seems to get the same type of praise/attention Brock Purdy does. I hope we can shut him down.
If our front 7 can put pressure on Doege we win. You give him all day he can make a play but our defense has been the stalwart for us all year. I think we win by 10
Watched the extended highlights of the ISU game. WV looked pretty good on the slants and such. ISU looked like a totally different team though. Lots of missed tackles in ISU secondary. I think its going to be a very good game. Right now i got OSU by 7.
Also seemed like ISU was getting zero pressure on Doege all day, by choice. They chose to sit back in coverage and it burned them. Knowles doesnāt care who heās playing, heās gonna bring the heat constantly. I think Doege makes some big time mistakes. Just need the offense to move the ball and weāll be fine. Itāll be close if we canāt, but I think theyāll be okay.
Really excited for this game. If the offense can put things together this week Iāll be a true believer in it, and our defense will continue to be dominating. Anyone know when the matrix rankings @OKCDave usually provides come out?
Edit: I tagged the wrong smart person. Whoops.
OSU has suckered me into this all year long, but 40ās for an O/U seems pretty lowā¦ looks like theyāre expecting somewhere around a 25-22 OSU win based on the line. I think it hits the over, and OSU covers. Like 34-20 or something.
Seems reasonable. I think we figured something out on O finally
ISU also abused WVU with Purdy in the run game some, hopefully we use Sanders. Sanders has always been awful about when to tuck and run, but he made a perfect decision to tuck and run 3 or 4 times in a row saturday. His pocket presence was so, so, so much better than Iāve ever seen it. It was Kansas, but still. Hope that carries over.
Looking forward to seeing how Springfield and Wilson graded out. I saw them rotate at RT several times.
Best thing about WVU beating ISU is we can reclaim all of the land ISU took from us.
What happened with Jackson? Feel like heās been on there one week and off the next every week since the season began.
