Kansas State Football / KSU OU phil steele prediction

« on: October 26, 2011, 09:04:17 PM »

OU has won 4 straight in the series but LW OU’s BCS dreams got a rude awakening from TT who ended the Sooners’ 39 gm home win streak in a 41-38 loss (trailed 31-7 3Q). OU missed 2 FG’s and fmbl’d at the TT27 but were outFD’d (27-24) and outgained (572-536) as they were without 3 D st’rs who were called out by LB Lewis after the gm. QB Jones’ Heisman campaign took a major hit but he’s still #18 pass eff (370, 72%, 19-7) with the NCAA’s all time rec leader Broyles (67, 13.4) at his disposal. Sooners allow 117 rush ypg (3.1). KSU KO’d their rival Kansas LW to move to 7-0. The Cats all’d a TD with :01 left to finish with a 466-286 yd edge. Tough guy QB Klein doesn’t have pretty numbers (133, 59%, 8-3, 670 rush) but he’s the heart and soul of the offense. Improved Cats are #49 pass eff D (243, 61%, 10-10). KSU has the ST edge (#27-37) with KR TD’s from Lockett in B2B wks. Stoops usually has his Sooners extremely focused after a loss but Kansas St naturally has plenty to play for here as well. This should be a great game!

#17 KANSAS STATE AT TEXAS TECH
 Rushing Passing Points TO’s ST
KANSAS ST 237 108 29 1.9 -
TEXAS TECH 109 318 30 2.1 •
LAST 14 YEAR MATCHUPS
Five straight wins, 5 straight covers and TT has avg 669 yds and outgained KSU by 374 ypg the L/3 but Leach was the HC for each (last met ‘09). KSU hasn’t won in Lubbock S’97 as they have dropped 3 str visits by an avg 37 ppg. In ‘09 KSU fell behind 38-0 at HT and finished allowing 739 yds. Despite 34-23 FD and 523-393 yd edges TT lost 45-40 to bitter rival A&M as the gm’s turning point came in the 3Q when clinging to a 31-23 lead, the Aggies ret’d a blk’d FG 64 yds for a TD. B12’s #2 rusher Stephens (570, 5.2) was also seriously inj’d late 3Q. QB Doege is #21 FBS pass eff (341 ypg, 71%, 17-1). TT is #115 FBS in rush D (224, 4.9). LW KSU scored their 3rd straight upset pulling out to a 24-3 early 4Q lead over Missouri. The Tigers then got 2 TD drives in which they had nearly half of their total yds for the gm but after pulling to within 24-17 with 5:25 couldn’t stop the Cats who ran out the clock. Unflashy KSU QB Klein (119, 57%, 6-3, 468 rush) and RB Hubert (469, 5.5) are getting the job done. It’s the D that’s been the difference however leading the B12 in ttl (299) D and they are #38 pass eff D (206, 56%, 7-7). Could it be 4 straight upsets for HC Snyder?

Robert Griffin has just as many interceptions as he does losses!  Tired of the knob slobbing competition that took place on abc by bob davie and his cohort.
