witherspoon is the most overated linebacker in the country

Even if this Hanson guy is starting, he can't play defense, and K-State does have a running game, unlike KU and Mizzou.

Also - there is nothing more redneck(ingly?) pleasing than watching a bunch of Harley Davidsons circle the field before kickoff.

Actually, KU has one of the best running attacks in the conference. The problem last night, IMO, was that they brought Sharp back in too soon. Or at least they should have given Opurum half the carries. That guy tore some shit up the last 2 weeks. But CU's defense really played well against the run last night. They were keying on Sharp big time.

Maybe you are right, but I'm saying, that Thomas kid can flat out play.

Prior to last night, KU is/was 10th in the conference in rushing, averaging 101 ypg on 53 attempts. For a dazzling 1.9 ypc average.
Last night's game probably didn't help that as KU finished with a -8 net yards rushing.

Their leading rusher was Sharp.(13-37).

Yowza....

Its simple. When Reesing has a good 4 quarters KU wins. If not they don't.

[QUOTE=mikeyis4dcats.;6181960][quote=Lzen;6181912]Actually, KU has one of the best running attacks in the conference. Well our starting running back did miss 2 games an he came back sluggish. So they may not be one of the best but they certainly aren't where they show up on that list.

Sharp, in his career, hasn't made it through a season w/o being nicked up. These stats are only for 2 conference games so the sample size is low. It could change, but the schedule for KU ramps up from here.

[quote=ArrowheadHawk;6181979][quote=mikeyis4dcats.;6181960]and they certainly aren't one of the best in the conference....

wow ... K-state finally wins a game and all the wildcat fans suddenly turn into mouthy mu-ish fans.

LMAO

Who had Laz in the pool?

how are we mouthy, we are just correcting Lzen's distorted view of his teams rushing prowess. Which we would have probably done even had we lost.

Crybaby.

We don't need no stinkin' rushing. We have Reesing.

true....thats what confused me about what Lzen said....of all your offensive attributes, rushing hasn't ever been the strong point. Not terrible, but nothing to tout on the internet.

Not me, I was trying my damnedest last night to get my Sam Hall pick to cash in.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

WINNER!!!

*and post 900

Nice stats but you only included 2 games, one of which was a shitty effort from last night.

Sharp was 2nd in the conference in rushing before he went down. Opurum stepped in and immediately put up a 100 yard rushing performance and then another good performance the next week. Last night was an aberration. Plus, Reesing has taken several sacks because he held the ball too long. But you guys keep believing that KU can't run the ball. If your coaches hold the same belief, you are in trouble.

no, those are the Big 12 stats through yesterdays games direct from big12sports.com

http://www.big12sports.com/ViewConte...NTENT_ID=99216

nice try though.

here are stats for all games to date

http://www.big12sports.com/ViewConte...NTENT_ID=98674

Sharp averaged 53yds/game through 5 games. Hardly a juggernaut, especially considering the teams he did it against.

Kansas State YPC 4.1
Kansas YPC 4.3

http://espn.go.com/college-football/...t/rushingYards

Are you stupid? Sharp only played in slightly more than 3 games. He barely played in the 4th before they took him out.

hey dickface....are you really saying that the big 12 is incorrect in saying he played 5 games?

He has only played in 4.

Kansas 155.2 rushing yards per game
Kansas State 183.7 rushing yards per game

Difference is that KSU has run the ball 313 times to KU's 218.
KU has a QB and receivers that make it much less necessary to run the ball so much. Make no mistake, though. When Sharp is healthy and Opurum gets carries (don't know WTF coaching staff was thinking last night), KU is a very formidable rushing attack.

http://espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=191559

Heres a link.

go complain to the Big 12 statisticians then...

Yes. He barely played in game 4. And I wasn't including last night. The only game that he actually played significant minutes (not including last night) he was very good.

mikey, I normally think you are a decent guy. But you have become exactly what you claim to hate in opposing fans. Perhaps you should step away from the thread. :shake:

:rolleyes:


Just because I'm comparing stats, I'm somehow a dick?

I haven't said anything negative about your team, and didn't say anything negative about anyone until you asked if I was stupid.

:crybaby:

time for that decade of dominance to return...

History Awaits!

Anxiously awaiting....

to the 'ship!

The Big 12 'ship isn't out of sight yet.
