KU's rush defense:
#9 in the Big 12 at 5.08 yards per rush and 227 yard per game allowed.
#100 run defense in the S&P+

I'll say 315 yards rushing. Barnes finishes with 165 and Ertz 115.

If you or I were calling the plays it would be 400.

I think we are right around 325.

475 yards!

We're not going to run it. That's the first thing they would expect.

Coach Beaty · « **Reply #6 on:** November 21, 2016, 09:50:09 AM »

I would say all the projections so far are a little high.

That's what I'm thinking. Dimel and Miller will make this way harder than it should be.

DQ12 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 21, 2016, 10:18:00 AM »

Really, as many as we want I'd think. I'll be surprised if Barnes/Jones don't combine for 225 or so.

I'll go with 320.

kso_FAN · « **Reply #9 on:** November 21, 2016, 10:27:25 AM »

We've run it 2/3 of the time in our last 6 games and had at least 230 yards in 5 of them. OU is the outlier and that's mainly because we got behind. We'll see at least 50 carries.

Also, KU is the fastest paced team in the Big 12, averaging 15 drives per game, so we may end up with more opportunities/plays if they insist on their HUNH offense.

I think it's the biggest reason they suck so much.

Big Sam · « **Reply #14 on:** November 21, 2016, 10:55:57 AM »

K-State is going to run successfully for a few plays, then start chuckin' it all over the yard.

Maybe 215 yards on the ground is my guess. It should be a helluva a lot more, but I doubt it will be.

I'm sure there are arguments for both cause and effect

Do you have stats on how many 3 and outs they average per game or how many plays it takes their op to score?

I don't. Their defense has actually been their best unit though (the offense is absolutely dreadful), but they aren't good at defense either. PPP and PPD (below) relate to how many plays it takes for opponents to score a bit.

We get 347 yards on the ground, 181 yards through the air.

Bookcat · « **Reply #23 on:** November 21, 2016, 12:47:53 PM »

If its less than 300 I'll be pretty bummed about the moral loss. ...

Coach Beaty · « **Reply #24 on:** November 21, 2016, 12:51:34 PM »

The thing about these predictions is they are predicated on the OC calling what could be effective. That's a pretty big gray area there I would think.
