Near a pace to break a record for the worst defense in FBS history. The record for most yards allowed per game is 553.0 by Maryland, 1993 (6,083 total yards yielded in 11 games.)

Total Defense

Rank	Team	G	Opp Plays	Opp Tot Yds	Opp Tot Yds/Play	Opp Off TD	Opp Tot Yds/G
1	Michigan St.	5	275	867	3.15	7	173.40
2	UCF	5	274	888	3.24	6	177.60
3	Alabama	6	356	1148	3.22	5	191.33
4	Penn St.	6	397	1505	3.79	6	250.83
5	LSU	6	396	1524	3.85	8	254.00

17	Kansas St.	5	298	1494	5.01	11	298.80
24	Texas	5	341	1609	4.72	12	321.80
28	Oklahoma	5	351	1651	4.70	9	330.20
30	Missouri	5	342	1684	4.92	14	336.80
60	Baylor	5	350	1870	5.34	18	374.00
94	Iowa St.	5	385	2096	5.44	19	419.20
96	Texas Tech	5	352	2101	5.97	17	420.20
99	Texas A&M	5	409	2122	5.19	15	424.40

119	New Mexico	5	373	2611	7.00	30	522.20
120	Kansas	5	356	2780	7.81	34	556.00

Of course, teams that have played KU have had their best offensive games of the year so far:

Team	Against KU	Tot Yds/G
McNeese State	420	387
Northern Illinois	462	447
Georgia Tech	768	553
Texas Tech	530	524
Oklahoma State	600	577

Still to play:

Team	Avg Yds/G
Baylor	562
Oklahoma	534
Texas A&M	493
Missouri	478
Iowa State	389
Texas	388
K-State	335

I think those top 4 schools (Baylor, OU, aTm, MU) will get more than 556 yds against KU. Playing the last three could keep KU from the record books if they can keep them under 500 yds.

K-State 335

That number will change a lot when we run for 1000 against them.

I don't care if it's powertardy to laugh at KU's complete awfulness, this stuff makes me LOL.

The Phoggies are all over this already:

Quote

The Cowboys' eight drives for touchdowns in the first half averaged 84 seconds.

Quote

Another amazing stat -- KU was allowing .739 points PER PLAY prior to today. Today, they allowed over 1 point per play.

For comparison, last year's KU men's basketball team gave up .91 points per "play", or defensive possession.

Quote

The worst D in FBS last season was Eastern Michigan, which gave up 7.4 yards per play. The worst BCS team was Indiana, which gave up 6.7 yards per play.

Prior to today's contest, KU was giving up 8.5 yards per play. They gave up 9.3 yards per play today, though as many have noted OSU was in the prevent offense most of the 2nd half.

Quote

The worst scoring defenses in history:

50.3/game Louisiana-LaFayette in 1997. East Carolina gave up 572 in 13 games in 2010.

We are at 55.8 and are ranked last by almost 13 pts/game.

and of course

Quote

Gundy had mercy on KU. Probably Stoops will too.

KSU and LHC Bill Snyder will not call off the dogs once the blowout starts. An 85-7 defeat will be a way for KSU to achieve a 5 or 6 year advantage in recruiting.

I look forward to reminding Ben about 85-7.

KU will play out of their minds and keep it within 40.

I read a quote somewhere that Opurum is now playing DE.

I think that kind of says it all. RB turned LB turned DE.

jtksu · « **Reply #12 on:** October 09, 2011, 10:33:16 PM »

When you pretty much only recruits RBs, some of them are gonna have to play DE.

From kusports.com
"Blow up Memorial Stadium... build a new stadium.... THEN hire Leach... this is going to take some major moolah.

I'll pass the hat around...everyone put in a couple bucks?"

I thought Memorial Stadium was the prize of Kansas collegiate football--you mean it's not?

before I drifted off to a pleasant Wildcat slumber...I turned to FSN and Gill was on there and said the following sentence to the camera...

"we competed all afternoon we were just outmatched for the better part of the day".....

can someone tell me what in the hell that means?

I won't be able to handle it if they get Leach.

He wouldn't go since the school could give a eff about fb, but still...

It appears their Quidditch defense is fairly good though

kso_FAN · « **Reply #21 on:** October 10, 2011, 11:45:19 AM »

Our defense last year gave up .42 points per play, which is pretty terrible.

KU's defense is currently giving up .69 points per play. So an opponent scores a touchdown on average against KU every 10 plays.

Against our defense this year an opponents scores a touchdown every 25 plays; our points per play is a very respectable .28.
