PrintAttack Over The Middle
I hate to open up a can of worms here but Kansas did try to do this a few times last week, but every time it was to Tim Biere and it just wasn't a great day for him. Regardless, Kansas needs to go back to that place on the field and go back there with multiple targets.
Much of the opener was spent focusing on short routes into the flat, nonproductive running plays and nonproductive plays period. Yes Kansas needs to give the quarterback time to make these throws but Turner Gill himself stated that this teams strength is at receiver and tight end...from that standpoint.
That being the case let's get the ball into those players hands in a position where they can move the chains. The flat routes and bubble screens are great for a guy like Daymond Patterson or DJ Beshears, they are shifty and quick and can make something happen. But Kansas has great depth when it comes to long rangy targets that can go up and attack the ball in the air and make a play.
Kansas could do themselves a big favor by finding opportunities to get Jonathan Wilson, AJ Steward, Bradley McDougald, any one of a number of 6'3'+ backups and yes even Tim Biere the ball across the middle. And if the offensive line can improve their pass blocking, Kansas needs to attack the deep middle.

Has either McGriff
or Omigie seen the field yet?
I guess there's gotta be a break in the monotony, but Jesus, when it rains how it pours.
nope not yet...
but both along with Christian Matthews are on the two deep and would also fit this assignment.

Some height/length
could pay nice dividends down the middle. (see also: Henry, Marcus)

In Webb we trust.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.

KU is going to win this freaking game
Shut down GTech, force some fumbles, run a punt back, etc. I can feel it. 21-17 baby.
KU is angry and will have revenge
Shit happens when you win championships
If this happens
can you imagine the tectonic shift in perspective our fanbase is going to experience? It’ll be enough to alter the earth’s rotation. From “OMG 0-12” to “We’re gonna win the Big 12” in the span of a week.
I was just thinking about this.
I don’t think I’ve ever attended a KU football game where I was sure we’d lose . . . and then we pulled the upset. I guess there’s a first for everything.
Webb.
Nothing against Pick, but I’ve heard webb had the better arm. I think we should stick with the passing game like we did last season, and let the running game come into place. Thats just my opinion though.

My concern is...
…if the passing game isn’t effective we’ll get roasted b/c our D will be on the field way too much. GT always wins the TOP battle anyway, and we have to succeed through the air or it’ll be a massacre.
usually I would be with you on not putting all the eggs in one basket,
but at this point, it’s looking like we only have one egg, so it doesn’t matter how many baskets we have.
The only people who really know where [the edge] is are the ones who have gone over it.

As much as Gill seems to not want to spread it out
that is probably what we’ll have to do. KU has some young, quality depth at WR so get 4 or 5 receivers out their and let them make plays. Not saying abandon the run game, but the team should spread it out until the line can learn to friggin run block.
As stupid as this may sound to some . . .
I hope we don’t give up on Biere. I hope we give him a chance to prove that last week was just a fluke.
