Baylor Soccer Ready For Weekend Matches At TCU & Texas
Kansas State players are trying to refocus their anger after the loss to find their own turnaround. The home game is against Oklahoma, who has beaten them 10 consecutive times.
Tech wasn’t impressive in the least at Kansas, but rise here mainly due to Kansas State’s fall (more on that shortly).
Well, it wasn’t the worst loss to Oklahoma I’ve ever witnessed, so there’s that.
Kansas at Oklahoma State: Cowboys 37-17.
There are definitely issues.
Shoot, even after Snyder first retired following the 2005 season, the Wildcats were befuddling the Longhorns. The pass to Jones was the longest to a running back since Chris Claybon had a 74-yarder at Colorado in 2000.
When the Horned Frogs were left out of the inaugural College Football Playoffs in 2015, despite ending their season as co-Big 12 champions with an 11-1 record, head coach Gary Patterson kept his explanation simple: They had to go undefeated to control their destiny, and they didn’t. What allowed the Wildcats to hang around against one of the best teams in the country? It builds up to a three-week November stretch when the Bears host Oklahoma, before going to Oklahoma State and TCU.
Given the way the polls have treated the Frogs and the Bears even while they’re undefeated, it’s not unfathomable to vision them taking a significant drop in the rankings if they suffer one loss.
“So much has happened”. Throw out the OU loss, and they have exceeded preseason expectations.
BON: All four of quarterback Joe Hubener’s interceptions have come in the last three games as his play has deteriorated significantly, resulting in his benching last Saturday.
Running back Aaron Green has never looked better.
Iowa State 3.34: This numbers is about to get worse.
“I know you are pained by the outcome, as I am”, Snyder wrote.
Replicating the offense that Jake Waters, Tyler Lockett and Curry Sexton managed a season ago has proved to be more challenging than initially expected this season, and it’s certainly been a big part of Kansas State’s rough start to conference play.
BOTC: They are, but it depends on the preparation during the week and the defenses they face. Their ability overall has been disappointing, and they did trail for most of their game against Michigan. Preferably ones that don’t involve outside pitches to the fullback. UT is hoping to get revenge for a 23-0 loss at the hands of K-State in Manhattan last season. In this scenario, should OSU lose to Tech, then either OU or OSU takes the title if they win out.
BOTC: Well, they play for K-State, right?
But the bigger reason is that unlike a Ryan Mueller, they aren’t putting up eye-popping numbers.
Well, just for the record, the K-State coach was correct.
BOTC: One: the injury to Dante Barnett, who is still in a sling and is therefore probably out for the year.
The bottom line for Strong is he needs to get Texas to a bowl game. That’s got disaster written all over it.
Oklahoma State’s offense, which is tied for 25th in the nation with an average of 463 yards per game, against Kansas’ defense, which has surrendered 559.8 yards per contest, ranking 124th.
There really is no shortage of great teams in other conferences.
BOTC: The biggest concern would obviously be whether the K-State offense can even score points on the Texas defense. Check out the Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma prediction and game preview.
Malloy and Staiger led the Bears in kills with 21 and 20, respectively. But what are Kansas State fans expecting this weekend? But Texas coach Charlie Strong knows the real opponent for his Longhorns is consistency. But if there’s a disconnect, it’s not happening.
First and foremost, Texas will be the healthiest it’s been in a few weeks and it has to take advantage of that.
