Kansas Jayhawks Recover From Faulty Start, Destroy Duke Blue Devils 44-16

Well, that first quarter sucked.

We couldn't move the ball on offense, and our defense took all of two plays to surrender a TD. It was really, really ugly.

But after that first drive, our defense was excellent. Third down quickly became known as Sack Down (H/T: Slam), and our defensive line continued its stellar play.

And while our offense took quite awhile, and way too long, to get up to the same speed, it eventually got there. In the second half, but still -- it got there.

Todd Reesing looked a tad bit off yet again, while there were way too many drops from our receiver corps.

In the end, though, it was all good. Our offense started rolling, and once it did, it didn't really stop the rest of the game much at all.

More thoughts to come later tonight, after I'm done watching CFB.

NOTE: This is your CFB thread for the rest of the evening. If we need another one, we'll get on it, but for now this will more than do.

Slow starts...

It seems like we’ve started slow in all of our 11 AM games the last couple years.

And Tennessee could beat Florida. I want that to happen.

Neb-V-Tech is close,

they just can’t do anything really competent on offense. Huskers finally score a TD after getting 4 FG’s, then get it called back because of holding, then jump offside. They go from 1st & goal at the 5 to 2nd & goal at the 31. Smooth.

by hunter s. royal on Sep 19, 2009 5:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

I am

I quit watching the Giants. Bochy just put in one of the guys who doesn’t play much for one inning. He had one at-bat, played RF for one inning, then promptly double switched out.

I prefer watching coaches who know what they’re doing.

by KTJ on Sep 19, 2009 4:57 PM CDT up reply actions  

I guess

But losing 7-1, you’d think he might take out the other regular players and let the bench players get in. But apparently not.

Bochy belongs in Little Leagues. But only the oldest kids would play. He would cry over the mandatory playing rule.

Nebraska has doubled up V-Tech on total yards

Get ready for Pelini head explode.

V-Tech completes long pass inside Nebraska 5 with less than a minute to go. Then V-Tech takes a sack back to the 11. Then Hokie QB scrambles around for 28 seconds and throws a TD pass. V-Tech goes 88 yards in the last minute for the lead.

by hunter s. royal on Sep 19, 2009 5:52 PM CDT reply actions  

That was the worst defense I've ever seen.

They just let a guy go wide freaking open downt he right sideline.

It was just absolutely ridiculous.

by rockchalk on Sep 19, 2009 5:55 PM CDT up reply actions  

V-Tech tried to blow it

by the receiver going out of bounds, then taking a sack with no timeouts left, but 5 FG’s and no TD’s catches up to you.

So after watching what I have of the day....

I have to say I think this is going to be a very fun and very challenging year. Kansas has it in them to compete in every game, but I’m feeling like Nebraska, Missouri and Texas Tech will be HUGE games for the outcome of the season.

Not that we didn’t know this going in, I’ve been impressed with some of what both the Huskers and Tech have done today and I’m still of the opinion that Missouri will be dangerous come November.
