I'm glad to see CU winning and doing the thing for Coach Prime, but man CU fans are talking mad stuff. They are talking like KU is just trash.

No clue if KU will get on him, but do know Ianello stays in touch with that agency

Where did the link to this go?

I know a lot is talked about the Colorado offense, but I have liked watching their defense.

I think the Jayhawks are going to move the ball. Up front Colorado is very aggressive and I think they get out of their lanes. They are 10th against the rush in the Big 12 and will give up rushing yards.

Their front four is active and can get after you on passing downs.

Here is where PFF has their front seven:

BJ Green- DE- (511)- 81.4
Arden Walker- DE- (265)- 78.7
Chidozie Nwankwo- DL- (316)- 77.3
Nikhai Hill-Green- LB (552)- 69.8
Samuel Okunlola- DE- (363)- 67.6
LaVonta Bentley- LB- (496)- 65.4

They don't look big on the DL, but they move around well. I will wait for their depth chart but I don't see the 310-pound ass kicker in the middle. Judging by watching their film, they are mainly in a 4-2-5 with a nickel.

I know a lot is made of the secondary but Shilo Sanders isn't nearly as good as the other safety Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig. Travis Hunter and D.J. McKinney are really good at corner.

Texas Tech was killing them with crossing routes. Tech had a chance to go up 17-0 but had to settle for a field goal and jumped out to a 13-0 lead. On offense Colorado does a lot of quick outs and lets the WR make moves. CU got it to 13-10 and then took the lead on a Sanders keeper on the zone read. He doesn't like to run but he will when needed. Texas Tech went toe to toe with Colorado. They forced eight CU punts.

The KU secondary is going to have their hands full. Colorado has four legit dudes in Hunter, Wester, Horn and Sheppard. All four WR are among the top 25 in the Big 12. Sheppard is the guy they look to in the end zone on fades at 6-3, 210 he can body up smaller corners.

I think Colorado's OL is average at best. That's why they do a lot of quick screens and outs to get the ball in their WR hands and they use those as running plays. Kansas State blitzed the daylights out of Sanders and he threw for 390 yards. Borland will have to pick and choose what to do. Colorado doesn't run the ball well. It is almost like they do it to keep defenses honest.

I think the game plan will be pound Neal and Hishaw and get the QB run game going. I think KU's offense can play keep-away and control the clock.

Do we have updated info on who can redshirt?

Cobee Bryant said he has been waiting for a long time to play Colorado. Watch what the players had to say about CU and the game.

Has anyone in the know heard anything from the players on how they have liked/disliked playing at Arrowhead? Wondering if it feels like a home game for them or if they feel like they've been on the road all Season.

Just saw that he decommitted from Bama to go to Nebraska last week--that one had slipped by me. Is Nebraska thinking they have found a market imbalance in taking low production, high tool players from the KC metro area or something with him and Marks? Having seen them play twice this year, you can see the athleticism on this kid from a mile away...and I would say that he is maybe the third best player on the BVHS defense?

He made ESPN with his stats yesterday. Nice day for their family overall.

Was happy with the red zone defense against BYU.

On the pass rush kept QB in pocket against BYU and hope to do same against CU. Did it without blitzing sometimes.

Sanders can make plays and escape pressure. Lot of plays come from that.

Biggest challenge in passing game they've seen from a personnel standpoint. Sanders gets rid of ball quick and WR can make plays.

Grant moved around and will do the same against CU. He can be a good coverage option and proven he can do both the field and free safety spot.

Last week was Taylor Davis best game. Directing traffic and had some success is coming along.

Wudke has been a good addition and does everything you tell him.

Thought there were things they needed to do better from BYU. Went over film with offense of a number of small things that need corrected.

Credited BYU and said they did a good job on defense. Said you can always improve even if it's late in the year.

On Jalon's punt it is something they practice once a week and sometimes more.

Impressive how hard Travis Hunter plays and goes offense and defense. Said it's far beyond the realm of what players do.

Aggressive up front and you don't see a lot of college teams play that way. LB are physical and seek contact. It will be a challenge because they outnumber you in the run game.

Very difficult because they can get to you with four man rush and play tight coverage.

Said Lawrence Arnold is improving.

Grimm is so competitive and is intelligent. He always finds a way to make a play. He's improved physically and Sleeve has talked about his improvement there.

The TE group Casey has played a lot and said he's proud of how they have hung in there saying they all haven't played as much as they want. He has spread playing time out.

Maybe a good one….

Would you guys be buying after a day like today?

Bond yields on Gov't bonds are increasing in response to the Trump victory. This is pushing mortgage rates higher despite the Fed announcing a 25 bps rate cut today. Mortgage rates typically follow interest rates the Fed sets but it really tracks the bond yields. Those are increasing because Trump is expected to blindly slap tariffs everywhere which is inflationary. The cost gets passed to the consumer.

Wall Street is essentially pricing inflation increase due to a result of Trump's expected direct policy and actions. As a result, mortgage rates are increasing which in itself isn't good for people wanting to refinance to save money, or for homebuyers, builders and construction either.

If these tariffs are blindly applied everywhere, I would expect to see massive price hikes in food imported from Mexico, like avocados, tomatoes cauliflower & broccoli, onions, beans, pineapple, carrots, asparagus, garlic and much more.

Then there's the manufactured consumer grade crap form China, all of that will skyrocket in price. Even the "Made in the USA" stuff will go way up, because they use get the parts from China or process raw materials there.

The tariffs are speculatory because nothing has changed. But the mortgage rates are absolutely rising to highs right now.

I know we're all riding high after the win over BYU, but once again, we had the ball and the lead in the 2nd half.... In those 2 drives, we punted and threw an interception. That's pretty much been the theme all year..... we've had chances to put teams away.... or at the very least extend our lead. So, I did the math on all the drives meeting that same criteria.

Kansas has had 27 drives in the Second Half where they had the ball and the lead. Out of those 27 drives, there have been:

16 Punts
11 Three-and-Outs or a Turnover in less than 3 plays
4 Turnovers
4 Touchdowns
2 Missed Field Goals
1 Field Goal
31 Points

Massaging the stats a little bit by removing the Houston Game, we have 23 drives with the ball and the lead in the 2nd half. On those drives, there have been:

16 Punts
10 Three-and-Outs or a Turnover in less than 3 plays
4 Turnovers
2 Touchdowns
1 Missed Field Goal
14 Points

Anyways.... do with that information as you will

Before you clicked on the thread, you probably knew where this was going. Cattle and sheep could not be reached for comment.

How many KSU fans would have preferred Will Howard this year rather than kicking him to the curb? Any chance Avery Johnson starts looking for a payout somewhere else if booing continues in Manhattan?
