Two things we need more of after tonight...

[Bloodfart]

 Time to get gronk'd all over the place friends!

[RightMeow]

I am most worried about our defense next year.  You can score points on most people with a good offensive line, and we have that.  What we won't have is 2 starting corners, 2 starting linebackers and like our ENTIRE defensive line.

Sean Snyder rough ridin' blows! The opening kickoff gave them the advantage they needed. How does that happen!!!

[sonofdaxjones]

It was also a classic Dana Dimel/Miller night . . . it's the same movie with those guys in games like last night.   

[HELLHAMMER]

We need the cocaine fueled aggression and SWAG that carried us in the late 90's.  I know BV and the Stoopes' are gone, but wasn't Michael Smith the engineer of the Cocaine Train?

[OK_Cat]

we found out in 1 play that Pease has a better, stronger arm than Colin.

 

[Cire]

That was a complete dogshit game plan by the offensive coaching staff.  The defense and kick return game put us into position to have a chance to be in that game.



Sean snyder should be rough ridin' bull whipped for kicking it to that guy on the opening kick off.  What the effing eff was that shlt?  He did the EXACT same effing thing with arkansas last year.

[CNS]

As long as we want to do the dual threat thing, we need to recruit qb's that don't have brains to sketti. 

Our game really seems to have changed from the point where colin got scrambled this year.  We seemed to run him much less and he seemed much less in control.  Get a guy who needs all the plays called for him and who doesn't get the playbook well enough to audible on his own.  Then run him until he "graduates". 

[pissclams]

i think we need bigger dudes.  when i think back to when we were really good, our guys were big and we didn't need to scheme other teams, we were just bigger and better than them. 


watching our recruiting now, it seems like snyder is content with helping youngsters develop into the best that they can be regardless of their starting point.

[pvegs]

Not to pile on Klein, because he's won us a ton of games the last couple years with near inhuman toughness, but that Pease throw really was eye opening.  He sheds a tackler and throws a 50 yard bomb practically flat footed and still nearly completes it to Harper.  If Klein tries the same thing he either gets picked off because of lack of arm strength or gets sacked because of his exceedingly long throwing motion.

[88wildcat]

Both Sams and Waters are going to start next year.  I love Sams but he played what, maybe 50 plays this year and he was limping around on half of them.  No way he plays all year if he is taking ten plus hits a game.  We will be a college version of the Redskins with him at QB.  As long as the ball keeps landing on red or black we will have a highlight film offense but sooner or later the ball is going to land on 00 and it will be up to Waters to get through two or three games somewhere along the line.

I want #life to be our QB next year but I also want him to become our next Harp...I'm so confused...Can he be both 

[kso_FAN]

I guess I'm missing the Sams/Harper comparo, Harp is at least 30#s heavier than Sams. Sams might be a bigger Lockett, but he doesn't have the size to be a receiver like Harp. The most likely candidate is Miller. Harp was just a beast with his combo of size/speed.

Unreal that Kansas produced him and the brown's.  Hell Even Brod. Smith showed flashes of being able to do what harp did before he was hurt.

[felix rex]

There will never be another Harper. He was a glorious comet streaking across the Kansas sky.

[The Manhatter]

I would agree that we need more speed.  But it appeared to be even more necessary on the offensive side than defensive side.

We played Oregon pretty well on defense.  When you limit an offense like that to 27 points, less than 5 ypc, and under 400 total yards...that says something.  I believe we were the only defense they faced that didn't give up 400 yards.

We certainly do need more team speed.  But it is more necessary in the secondary and at the skill positions offensively.  We could use more disruptive players on the defensive line but what we had was not the reason we lost to Oregon.  It did hurt us vs. Baylor because they have a more physical offensive line.

But we will stick around with faster players in the secondary, more disruptive players on the DL, and more speed at wide receiver/RB.

[MadCat]

Does anyone have the code to make our players all All-Amercians/God-mode?  If not, I'll settle for infinite ammo.

I'm not concerned with the DB's we're recruiting.  There's a lot of speed there.  There are some really nice looking packages you can put together with Sams at QB where you can cause many a sleepless night for a DC.

But I have some significant concerns about our lack of speed at RB.  I like Hubert, and he's solid for what he is.  I know the coaches are high on Leverett, and I find a lot of use for a 5'11" (thick) 200+ lb. RB.  But we don't have anyone behind Sams at RB that is a threat to take it to the house when they get a crack of daylight similar to what Oregon has.  Not many people do, granted, but it makes a world of difference when you have that.

I do have concerns about WR, but Burton gives me some hope.  If Miller and/or Klein can be serviceable big body receivers next year, it should give the QB plenty of options.  But you are absolutely right that the lack of speed on offense was a killer against Oregon.

Nice.

[Institutional Control]

Greatest player to ever come out of Wichita? AB or Barry Sanders?

I vote for AB.

I vote for AB.

   It's Sanders and it's not even close.  AB is very good.  Sanders in the discussion of greatest RB of all time.
