New predictions for the rest of the season

[ksuno1stunner]

@ Auburn (Loss, but I mean, we already thought we were going to lose)
San Diego State (Easy win)
Missouri State (Easy win)
@ Texas (Still predict a loss, but I believe we have a great shot at beating them again.  Still, they have a blackout vs us )
Kansas (Before I thought it was 50/50 but we eventually pull it out, but I now believe we will win easily)
Colorado (Still predict easy win)
@ Oklahoma State (First I predicted loss, but now I will say this is a toss up.  We moved the ball better on a better defense)
Baylor (Easy win.  REVENGE )
@ Iowa State (Easy win, before I thought it was a toss-up)
@ Nebraska (Loss, but like vs. Texas we have a shot)
Missouri (I thought we would likely lose, but this is a toss-up IMO)
@ Fresno State (Easy win)

I think we go 8-4, with losses to Auburn, Texas, OSU, and Nebraska.

[Pett]

Love this thread. My predictions are probably going to stay the same, but we'll see.

My updated predictions on our schedule are coming.

[mjrod]

San Jose State.

[waks]

I think we can have a chance to win any game now. I'd probably give us a better shot of beating OSU now.

[ksuno1stunner]

San Jose State.

I know what you are saying, QFT.

[Pett]

@ Auburn (Loss,  )
San Diego State (Win, close in the first quarter.)
Missouri State (Easy win)
@ Texas (Loss)
Kansas (Win)
Colorado (Win)
@ Oklahoma State (Win)
Baylor (Win)
@ Iowa State (Win)
@ Nebraska (Toss up game. The new OSU game where teams are pretty even. Right now a loss.)
Missouri (Win)
@ Fresno State (Win)

9-3 (6-2) Right now I'm saying a close loss to NU, in the running for the Big XII north championship.

[ksuno1stunner]

Hmmm...if our run D stays this good, it should keep us in the game vs. NU.

[ECN]

San Diego State -close win
Missouri State (Easy win)
@ Texas (Loss)
Kansas (Win)
Colorado (Win)
@ Oklahoma State -loss
Baylor (Win)
@ Iowa State (Win)
@ Nebraska -loss
Missouri -loss
@ Fresno State -loss

dont kill me. just what im feeling.

[catinthehat]

auburn is one of the worst offenses you will play all year.  they are very bad.  and you think doing well vs their run game means you should do ok against nebraskas?  please

Nobody cares that you beat Nevada. Just an fyi.

[WildCatzPhreak]

It totally depends on our O-line.  Granted Auburn's defensive line is one of the best in the nation, but we were getting abused handily(especially Alesena.)  We've gotta do something to fix it, even if it's using a RB as a blocker instead of a receiver(T-Gunn's one good attribute.)  Alesena just became totally ineffective at the end of the game last night. I was surprised he wasn't subbed out because he was obviously done for the night.

Other than that..I was worried about our nose tackle, but they did a very good job against an Auburn team that loves to run, run, and run some more.  Freeman looked poised and performed pretty well overall.

I too think we win more than I predicted earlier, probably at 8 games, possibly even 9.

No, we will BEAT Nebraska because if you really believe you can play that way against every team, go back to last year.

You don't look much different than last year at all.

If you recall, we didn't have a backup LT on the depth chart. Alesana played pretty well all game until the end when he was running out of gas. I was actually pretty impressed with his play until the end. Pretty impressed with the line as a whole. It might have been different if Freeman would have still been able to move out of the pocket towards the end.

@ Auburn (Loss,  )
San Diego State (Win, close in the first quarter.)
Missouri State (Easy win)
@ Texas (Loss)
Kansas (Win)
Colorado (Win)
@ Oklahoma State (50/50)L
Baylor (Win)
@ Iowa State (Win)
@ Nebraska (L)
Missouri (L)
@ Fresno State (Win)


7 wins.  Although I still think that ku will give us all we can handle, win at osu for the 8th.

[Maxell]

I give you guys until the Texas game before you start seriously breaking down physically (and mentally). With little depth on your roster its just a matter of time. There's a lot of teams that come out and play their asses off during the first week or two then fall apart down the stretch. Yours is one of them that's going to happen to.

[WildWillie21]

@ AU - L
SJSU - W
MSU - W
@Tex - L
ku - W
CU - W
@ OSU - Toss up*
Baylor - W
@ ISU - W
@ NU - L
Mizzou - Toss up **
@ Frez - W



* - (Think we're better than them, but they've got talent and we still haven't proved we can win/finish on the road.)

** - They're more talented, but their coach sucks and we own them at home.

So possible 9-3, 8-4, or 7-5, but I said 8-4 at the beginning of the year so I'm sticking to that. I think 9-3 is a better possibility than 7-5 though, especially if the AU game gave us big time road confidence.

Alesana was getting pushed around by a 1st round draft pick.  They mismatched him on purpose after all of those damn offsides calls they figured his inexperience would help them and it did.  I think he's a good guard overall when he figures out when to jump.

[cas]

San Diego State (Win 38-7)
Missouri State (Win 49-10)
@ Texas (Loss 27-20)        (ehh. I don't know they looked pretty bad against Ark. State)
Kansas (Win 21-3)
Colorado (Win 30-21)  (If CU was as luck as they were the other day it could be a toss-iup)
@ Oklahoma State (Win 33-28)  (Same story good offense, terrible defense)
Baylor (Win 38-17)
@ Iowa State (Win 29-6)
@ Nebraska (Wow. This will be a swing game, but we will say a loss)
Missouri (Win 28-25)  (Pinkle can't really be trusted)
@ Fresno State (Win 35-18)

Wow.... keep the jokes coming.

ku will handle K-State just like we did last year.  We improved in every aspect while K-State is about on par with where you were last season.  Your o-line still sucks and your QB still can't throw a TD to save his life.  I'm thinking ku wins by about 3 TD's again this season.  We just beat a team that finished 10-4 and won a bowl game last year 52-7. 

52-7.

[Racquetball_Ninja]

6-6  We still can't run the ball, can't pass block unless Freeman's rolling the pocket and we still find ways to self destruct.  (I.E. roughing the punter to give the ball back and give up the winning drive).   

The Kool-Aid is awfully strong in this thread.

Please post CMU's schedule from their 10-4 season with W-L.

[WildWillie21]

We just beat a team with a brand new coach, that finished 10-4 last year, whose biggest win was Toledo (who beat us which means they were good last year), and won a bowl game last year against Middle Tennessee St, 52-7.    

Fixed it

W against CMU <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Having AU beat in their house

[catsfan20012002]

My prediction stays the same. After we beat Texas last season Coach Prince said that we wouldn't have won that game if we hadn't lost to Louisville early in the season. That tempts me to change one of my Big XII losses to a win but I'm not sure which one. So here's the official prediction:

at Auburn L
San Jose State W   
Missouri State W   
at Texas L   
Kansas W   
Colorado W   
at Oklahoma State W   
Baylor W   
at Iowa State W   
at Nebraska L   
Missouri W   
at Fresno State W

9-3 (6-2)

How come so many people think we play San Diego State next?

You're a funny guy

[BMWJhawk]

6 different players scored TD's for ku.  Two different guys ran for over 100 yards.  The o-line is improved.  The defense is improved.  The coaching has improved.  Seriously, if we beat your sorry asses by 3 TD's last season with Nick Q as o-coordinator, we should win by at least that much this season in Manhattan.

BTW, Dezmon Briscoe's first catch ever was a TD.  Where was Lamark Brown?

You honeslty think your running game is going to be improved? And maybe you didn't catch it, but Freeman threw over 30 completions last night.

You still have no evidence that you can win on the road either. You haven't scored a td in Manhattan since '97.
