Minny's run game was decent for the first quarter and a half, then it petered out. Without Ibrahim, they aren't that good. Besides that, the QB throws sidearm, which is going to result in alot of passes batted down at the line of scrimmage.
Week 1 Games
The way Missouri State is opening up running lanes against KU so far, makes me feel pretty good about next week.
Just when I thought Miznoz State is dominating, KU goes quick strike and takes the lead..

So I check out the Kansas game tracker and I see “1st & 10 at MOST 17”
And I’m like what, so it’s first & 10, but it could be first & 17, at most?
Then I realize that’s the initials of the team haha.

The color commentator in this KU game is a moron. By far the dumbest guy I've ever heard on a broadcast.
I love how he called MizSt “Minnesota State” multiple times in the first quarter.
The sideline reporter for the EIU-Indiana State game last night called EIU the Cougars in at least two different sideline reports.
Perhaps he thought KU was facing Coach Fox and the Screamin' Eagles.
They said something about recurring back stiffness. I think they were saving him for next week.
Those highlights looked pretty standard to me…like a Div 1, P5 team beating up on an FCS team as they should. Not so much that Kansas is good, just that Missouri State is FCS.
Those running lanes will close quicker, cut back lanes won’t be there, and the defense will be more assignment sound when Kansas sees us.
That being said, the thing I AM worried about is the blown coverages. It happened to Missouri State but with such a new secondary (safeties really), it could happen to us.

Fresno St ties it up against Purdue 7-7. Midway through the 1st quarter
Watching Purdue, it's amazing how their crowds have grown since they hired Brohm, despite being consistently mediocre. In 2015 under Hazel, no one was there - less than half capacity.
I hope in a couple years we can sell out an opener against the likes of Fresno State.

Travis Hunter is incredible. Two near insane TD catches but still he's shown what he's capable of. Going to be fun to watch this year espeically if he can pull off the two way duty.

I mean under Brohm they went to bowl games 4/6 years, just won the Big Ten West, got the big QB transfer and as we all know, an exciting new coach. Brohm ended up 0.500 in the B1G but was 12-6 the last two years combined. I wouldn't call that mediocre. We'd all kill to have a back to back 6-3 B1G season lol. That's as many B1G wins in 2 years than we had with Cubit and Lovie combined.
(Never tell my Purdue friends I defended them)
Which is funny as that used to be the norm in football not to sub, but you are right if you can run no huddle no sub and formation the heck out of a D you could have some pretty legit big plays
Walters’ D giving up more points in a game since…?

Fresno State just cut the lead to 3 in West Lafayette on a TD and 2-point conversion.
I had the same thoughts.
