So is CU going to frack up like A&M?

[Bookcat]

So is CU going to f*ck up and kick a low liner punt to Banks?

Are they going to fumble/INT deep in their own territory?

My hunch says yeah, at some point they'll make some sort of mistake...It just so happens against A&M we actually punished someone for doing so..and then they pouted.

What worries me is that our defense isn't going to wrap up and and/or stay at home on those pesky bootleg plays that Hansen showed he is capable of executing pretty efficiently. I don't want them putting up 75 yard drives at will. I'm so used to seeing that crap from Tibs defenses. 

Their real strength on offense is on the ground with Stewart and Hansen working right and left...and they'll occasionally go to Sammy Knight on short routes. Hansen can actually find him. Hawkins was downright clueless.

I'm guessing our strategy will be the same we've done the last three games...run DThomas out of the Wildcat to get us going and set up Gregory with some out routes to the TE, Snipes, and Lamark* and every once in a while test them deep.

*if he decides to participate

btw, has CU faced the Wildcat offense at any point yet this season? I'm guessing not very much but I haven't watch every game they've played.

This game will test KState's dline ability to pursue on the edges as A&M's attack was primarly up the middle. So in that case I'm worried it won't matter how stout we are in the middle. All about edge speed in this one.

Add in Barnett's guarantee and I'm pretty worried about this one.

that Hawk is going to kick or punt to Banks, and after the game everyone is going to question him for doing it.

Colorado is not very good, I am not sure why everyone is trying to convince themselves they are. 

KSU isn't very good either, but 2 factors weigh heavily in our favor: 1. We are at home, 2. We are not coached by Dan Hawkins.

Gary Barnett is an idiot.

I thought we were going to win early in the week but I think we're going to lose now.

[Bhyaaaaa!]

Yeah, as K-State fans there is really no reason to think that our newly acquired hope won't be dashed.

What everyone seems to be forgetting is that K-State has dodged the bullet as it relates to Colorado. In years past, CU would have changed QBs the week of their game with K-state. The new QB would have had a great week against us and then gone on to obscurity for the remainder of the season. Well folks, the new and "improved" QB came in last week and already had is good game. I fully expect a 2nd game slump from the new QB and a wildcat victory.

Very scientific. I agree.

Very good point.....Would rather Hawkins be behind center, but at least we have one weeks worth of game film to watch of Hansen.
