We better beat their ***. That’s all I have to say.

Just a curious question. For those that think we'll blow the doors off KSU... Why? What have you seen to suggest we'll take them to the wood shed? Yes, we have better talent... However; we had better talent against NIU and you see where that got us. Just curious... If you're using the fact they aren't a P5 school, let me remind you about the Citadel. I think we win.... but, not by some huge landslide... and.....I may be wrong... (which I hope I am)....

For me it is simple. NIU would beat KSU by 2 touchdowns. Easily. KSU is one of the weaker teams in their division. They are the only team on our schedule that we can overpower on both the OL and the DL regardless of coaching skill.
Supposedly in football anything can happen but for KSU to win would be the equivalent of you and 4 of your friends winning a pickup basketball game against Tech’s starting five.

Maybe due to injury but KSU is not one of the weak teams in the big south nor historically at this point.

We are talking about the team we will face Saturday. They are not that good this year and beating a P5 school would be a minor miracle for them.

I thought it was NIU...they were 0-6 last year.

KSU is #22 in the FCS rankings. The team one spot above them lost by 6 points to a top 10 Iowa St team after being a 28 point underdog last week. I voted that this will be a blowout but considering how bad we are and how bad we play against bad teams, im not that overly confident about my vote.

I saw the GT women's basketball team rout a very athletic pick-up team of guys at SAC. (very long ago) It isn't a guarantee that superior athletes will win if the other guys are playing as a synchronized team.
If the GT defense is set and knows the defensive call before every snap, GT should win by a large margin. If they are still waiting on the defensive signal again this week while ABs are running past them, then it won't be pretty for us. I am just hoping that I don't feel as though the GT players are acting like they are playing a scrimmage game again this week. If they come out breathing fire, GT will be OK.(for this week)

Think about this, If or when we win this Saturday, cg will say the same exact rhetoric. How will we distinguish between a win or a loss.

You have one datapoint to suggest they aren't that good. And some injuries.

After reading the board again, I think this could easily be a one possession game. If it comes down to a FG , god help us all

I don’t know how well their QB is throwing the ball but that’s what gives me fits on this game.
If our D isn’t set and ready, and we have receivers leaking out all over the place, then we end up being way exposed to the dink and dunk passes in the no man’s land between our D’s front and back ends. I’m anxious about that given our last few years of challenges in communicating between those two groups. Throw in the occasional explosive run play through a gap and it could be a frustrating day for our D.
That said, I do think we should win this game handily and I’ll be sorely disappointed if we aren’t able to go establish both line’s will against KSU. Our D should be blowing up the mesh and our OLine should be moving their front set around on skates.
I’m excited about what we COULD see if the pieces click and we have the guys switched on Saturday. I’m ever the optimist that we SHOULD see that improvement. Let’s hope the bumps from last week are well and truly behind us.
GT 45 - KSU 17 (renewing my call for a pick 6 in the second quarter when we start pulling ahead and they throw more aggressively)

Wouldn’t all of this also have been said about Citadel ?

It will not even be close. Jackets by more than 3 touchdowns. Of course, I said that last week too. One of these days...

KSU on 3rd string QB
Even vs. The Citadel our defensive strategy was sound
Unfortunately Lucas was atrocious, we were 3-9 on 3rd down & 8/80 on penalties
I expect us to be able to get whatever we want on offense whether that pounding the rock or stretching them vertically
