View from the Parking Lot: Rest of season predictos (add your own)

[Kat Kid]

disagree with OP.  Anytime you add a serious threat as a runner at QB (and a big one at that) along with a significant threat at RB (Bryce will be carrying the mail soon) you put a tremendous strain on the defense.  There are only two defenses with enough personnel in this conference to shut it down.

The offense will be fine.  Our receivers need to hold onto the fvcking ball when it hits them in the hands.  They had 5 drops yesterday.

I agree with all this.

And to the "add your own":

Why would any team go less than 9 in the box?  Our O-line is not going to stop people and Klein cannot throw.  Am I missing something here?

miami is a lot more talented that we are, at about every position.  they're going to destroy k-state.  hopefully we can get out of the game injury free.

They are also more talented than Maryland at about every position.

I think what you are missing is that the team is actually much better than you think. They will win 6-7 games. You don't have to be good to win 6-7 games. You have to be completely horrible to only win 3-4.

Ok.  I mean, I'll go with this.  It does not in any way seem compelling.  No one has initiated any kind of discussion about the O-line post-embarassing FCS near loss except for Cole Manbeck.  So, I guess I'd like people with some more knowledge to explain to me why the O-line is suddenly good enough to sustain the Offense that is completely inept as a passing offense.

You are drawing way too many conclusions from the first game of the season.

No doubt the offensive line was terrible in game 1. I thought they were quite a bit better vs Kent State, against IMO a much better defensive front. I don't think the problem has been a complete lack of talent, but moreso inexperience. And while overblown, I think the "only 15% of the offense" comments do have some truth to them. As a unit I think the offensive line will continue to get better as the season goes along.

Now the other aspects that need to improve; namely a passing game and better performance from our backs. I will not try to sell that this can be a great passing team b/c that would be too much, but it can be better. The drops are correctable and I think Klein is capable of hitting some of the throws he is missing right now. If we can get closer to 200 YPG passing and 7-8 YPA then I think we can use QB run game, option/read, and some power and be a pretty productive offense.

Apparently this is not clear to you:

Mine eyes have not seen one snap of K-State football this year.  I'm trying to find out what has happened.  The view from the parking lot makes no bones about its methodology.

[Boom Roasted]

Heard rumblings that Bryce will get over half the carries this weekend in Miami and that we will be including many different looks on offense not limited to spread and wildcat formations.  As much as I want to believe, i have a feeling its  :powerespect:

Could you make one for the KU game?  I'd like one for a win.

The game still has to be played. Anything can happen.

It's weird talking about sports instead of sports economics.

[Dr Rick Daris]

my feeling is this. kk heard the score and reviews of the 1st game from the p lot and thinks the o is going to be that bad all year but is forgetting years like 09 where the cats barely etched out a 21-17 win over umass at the home opener. that game would've sounded just as bad from the p lot and the cats went on to win 6 games that year including a game at norman where they were in it in the 4th quarter and scored 30 points before surrendering 30-42. that first game also featured an inept line and horrible passing o. don't judge the first game of the season based on this season. judge it against LHC Bill Snyder coached first games from seasons past. we're bad, but we aren't any worse then that '09 team and like has been mentioned before, only winning 3 or 4 games is really hard to do.

Cynicism and doubt are no match for belief.

I opened my heart yesterday, but it is still not true.
It will close again, for it is still broken and not full.
But justice prevails against the infinite failings of man.
Where love still exists there is always hope.

since Dlew is a future-seer, looks like we're winning the north this year, boys!

Yeah can't say I'm very surprised.
