KSU RB position today: 22 rushes 130 yards (5.91 ypc)..

[The Manhatter]

I guess we should have run it more huh?

odd quote from Mangino given our RB's rushing #'s, "We played the run very well and forced Kansas State to throw a lot".  That is not how I remembered it.  We did throw the ball quite a bit on first down.

hindsight is 20/20 but probably should have given Patton and Johnson the rock a few more times especially w/ our heels to the our own endzone when Freeman got sacked/fumbled for a ku score.

We started running a hell of a lot when there were only 6 minutes left in the game and we were down by 2 scores.  What kind of play calling is that?

[PowercatPosse]

yeah, even taking out Patton's 44 yd scamper, we still had 21 for 86.  That's over 4 a carry. 

Was it me, or did we not use the middle of the field at all today when passsing???

[BooyahKU]

patton's-should-have-been-called-back-run was about all he/they had today.  tough break.  outside of that they were UNimpressive.

During the last ten minutes of the game, Prince was running time off the clock better than Mangino was.

That stretch puzzled me too.

Why do Boo and GoldPrick show up now??

Goldy disappears for a month, on the worlds longest Pheasant hunt, but magically appears now.

[GoldbrickGangBoss]

I've been off and on. Not on this board so much. This board is too boring. Last night made it worth a quick glance though.

hth lol omg

[jeffy]

You haven't been on any of the boards, Goldy.  (well, maybe a gay anime bbs)

Liars go to hell.

Patton went 90-545 in big 12 play.

6.05 ypc.

True frosh, horrible o-line.

That's damn good.

[fatty fat fat]

Johnson was 87-375. 4.3 ypc.

Huge difference.

[michigancat]

fumbles?

[fatty fat fat]

Not really. Still excited we have both back, and return most of our O-line.

What was your team rushing total before Prince started running the ball against ku's prevent defense?

IMO, ku was stopping the run other than a few draw plays and the one long great run.

That's because that was about the only times we ran.

Patton didn't get a carry in the first half after his big run.

WaveTheWheat,

Have you ever seen a wheat field?  Did you know that wheat is used to make bread?

[catzacker]

What was your team rushing total before Prince started running the ball against ku's prevent defense?

IMO, ku was stopping the run other than a few draw plays and the one long great run.

At the 7:57 mark it was ku 33, KSU 20.  After that, I think ku went into a "soft defense".  And after that, Patton rushed twice for 11 yards, Johnson rushed twice for 3 yards, and Freeman ran once for 4 yards.  

Prince forgot to run the ball when the game mattered and his QB was struggling.  It reminded me of Mangino in Manhattan last year.

Patton had no problem running all day.

[ScottsdaleAuditor]

Patton had no problem running all day.

Or do you mean "Cornish had no problem running all day."

[fatty fat fat]

Both RB's ran all over the d's.
