LOL, no shit.

Yeah....Guess thats what I was trying to say. At some point, you cant just keep trying to force the ball. Also, the LB's sag back since they arent the least bit worried of him tucking it and running with the ball.

Congrats man and welcome to the Big 12!

Yup, it's hard to talk smack on Von. He is/gonna be one hell of a player.
Respect.

I think TCU is a great addition. They'll look much better the rest of this season than they did today.

you're the enemy


die,die,die

LMAO

I agree. Campo when he first got to KU said he was going to emphasize forcing more turnovers. They've done a great job so far in all 3 games in that area. There is a noticeable difference from last year to this year.

As much as I get on him for letting the cb's play 10 yards off and all zone the defense isn't what is letting us down.

Update in football rules- turnovers don't count

Well, at least it was respectable. Not a 40 point blowout. We looked better this week than last week.

The arrow is pointing up. That's for sure.

Except that if we run the ball, we have a great shot at winning.

What was the run/pass balance in the game? It seemed too off balance to me.

I don't remember a running play from about midway through the 3rd quarter on, that was about 5 drives.

Geez. Need to keep that more balanced and unpredictable. Especially considering we weren't out of the game.

Yup..i'll offer this up for Weis today..even though i like the guy...

Just saw the score and I'm happy they didn't get buried at least.

Didn't get to watch the game; was busy moving for like 9 straight hours.

Hey, I know it's sad but I'll take a 14 point loss to the #16 team in the nation. How'd it happen? Defense play lights out? TCU cough it up a ton?

The D had like 5 turnovers....Most of which occurred in the Red Zone.

Aside from that, pretty meh across the board for KU.
Another below average showing for Crist and the receivers.

So, tell me.......what should I expect tomorrow? Haven't had the opportunity to see much of KU thus far because of work.

Also just saw this.....

Three-star juco linebacker from California picks Kansas

By Matt Tait

Kansas University’s football team picked up its second oral commitment of the week from the Class of 2013 on Thursday, landing a pledge from Marcus Jenkins-Moore, an outside linebacker from Pierce Community College in Woodland Hills, Calif., JayhawkSlant.com reported.

Jenkins-Moore joins Mississippi defensive end Andrew Bolton (Hinds CC) as KU’s eighth and ninth commitments in the current class.

A three-star prospect, according to Rivals.com, Jenkins-Moore had scholarship offers from a dozen other BCS-conference schools including Kansas State, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Texas Tech.

JayhawkSlant reported that tight ends coach Jeff Blasko was the lead recruiter for Jenkins-Moore, but defensive coordinator Dave Campo also played a heavy role in landing the sophomore, who, at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, is known for his speed. It sounds as if Campo may have been one of the deciding factors.

“He’s very passionate and knows what he’s talking about,” said Jenkins-Moore of Campo during a recent interview with JayhawkSlant.com. “He knows how to get players ready for that next level. He’s the kind of defensive coordinator you want to play for.”

Another factor, according to Jenkins-Moore, was KU’s determination.

“Kansas showed they wanted me more than all of the other schools,” he told JayhawkSlant. “All of the coaches, Blasko, Weis and Campo, would Facebook me every day and they recruited me the hardest. If the other schools wanted me as bad they would have been on me like Kansas was. They always stayed in touch and asked me how everything was going along with my family.”

Jenkins-Moore made his official visit to KU during the weekend of the TCU game. He made the trip with juco teammate Marquel Combs, a four-star, 6-3, 305-pound defensive tackle who also has KU on his very long list.

Expect them to lose by 11 because I took them plus 10.5.

Hard to say. They haven't been good on the road in recent years. But who knows? New coach, new era? And NIU hasn't exactly been impressive.

The defense still needs a talent upgrade, namely the dline. But you can definitely tell they are better coached.

I think Weiss called way too many passes in the 2nd half of the last two games. Especially considering we were running well I. The first halves. Don't get that mindset.

Crist has looked better but still not as good as I think many of us expected. Also of note in last week's game, Crist probably should have had a couple more TDs. One was a great throw to Turzilli that would have been a long TD, but zili dropped it. The other was when Crist fumbled near the end while running into the end zone.

All in all, the team is improved. But it's still a work in progress.

Agree on all points. NIU did have trouble with Army's running game last week, so I expect to see some ground pounding this week.

Is the NIU game televised?

Looking like no TV today. I looked up "KMBZ" to see what channel it was, and ironically they seem pretty proud to be "the home of the missouri tigers"

It's on ESPN3.

Just about time for the kickoff.

ESPN3 sucks. Quality isn't good.

Meh if it weren't for the we probably wouldn't be able to watch this game. KU running all over them so far, as expected.

Moving it right down the field. Now let's finish.

I really don't understand why we start passing so much. We should run run run.

Big Balls Weis. Going for it on 4 and 2.

If you want to keep getting top ranked recruits at QB you can't just run, run, run the ball.

KU 's strength is the running game. NIU' s weakness is run defense. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Weis's head is too big for that. D is playing well so far.

It's pretty frustrating that our opposition goes for every 4th down pretty much no matter where they are on the field. Even though KU stuffs NIU two straight times on 2nd and 3rd down at midfield they still go for fourth and it leads to a march right down the field for 7. I don't think any other team in college football has to defend as many 4th downs as KU does.

Start stopping people and they won't do that.

SIMS!!

Nice run. TD!!!!!!

dang.... should have been a pick 6

Would be nice if we could score a TD here.

Good.

Peacocking

shit

That commercial was mildly funny when I first saw it. Now that I've seen it 12 billion times during this game today, I'm sick of it.

Damn Crist. That was an easy TD.

This game is not likely to end well.

I say this every week, but Crist is a terrible ****ing QB. Just complete shit.

Yep. He's awful, and the worst part is that there is no way Weis will ever bench him.

Do we have another QB?

it has gotten on my nerves from the moment I saw it

Yes. He's starting for Colorado though.

Has Todd Reesing had a son yet? Could use him down the road.

Game over.

Welp

Unless Todd adopts, he probably won't have any children. (J/K)

****ing Crist!

Crist sucks!

Odds of KU getting the ball back? Not looking good.

I bet they could let them score pretty easily enough.

Another game where if Crist can throw the ball to open receivers the outcome would most likely be different. I hope Jake is a better QB next year.

Well, surprisingly we get the ball back. In the unlikely event that KU can drive down there for a td I say go for 2. OT favors UNI becase we have no kicker.

WTF is this shit?

Wow Crist?!!!

Send Crist back to Indiana.

He threw it right to UNI. How is that not an interception

Its really not fair to have to watch two Cassels every weekend

Is NIU's D that good?

It's brutal.

Considering it's NIU, I'm gonna say no.

KU beat the spread, I think. Success.

I'm so sick of bad football. Boy did Gill run this thing into the ground.

Yet another double digit fourth quarter lead blown. Oh yippie.

Looks like it will be 1 win for the season.

Army put up 40 on them last week.

We might luck into one somewhere down the line. It doesn't look good though.

If Weis could pull his head out of his ass, we'd be 3-1 right now.

No
