last week KU proved that we will move the ball if you let our qb throw without pressure.
Ohio spent last week dropping into a cover 4 and let tx St dink and dunk them for 50 points.
So this week Ohio comes out in their version of press coverage wide and hope they get great tackling from their db's and safeties on KU wr's, and their lb's on KU's running game. Then they put their 2 best pass rushers in front of true freshmen Adeniji and run stunts and blitzes nearly every play. Anything to get pressure on the assumed starter at qb, Cozart. Throw the kitchen sink at KU. In previous years he has struggled under pressure and shown a consistent ability to overthrow open receivers deep by yards. It's an interesting gambit, which leaves Ohio vulnerable to draws and screens besides deep balls vs press coverage, maybe the stunts let KU gash them running the ball or maybe Ohio gets lucky and the stunts and blitzes disrupt The KU running game.
It's an all or nothing risk, but getting pressure on Cozart is their best option. A few rushed throws by Cozart, a couple of dropped passes at key times by KU, and maybe a turnover or 2 by KU and Ohio can win.
