Here goes week 2 of looking at the numbers for the Jayhawks and their opponent. As Owen pointed out in his Matchup Breakdown, this might be a tough week. Georgia Tech put up some impressive numbers against South Carolina State in the first week, maybe they just actually took advantage of playing a vastly inferior opponent. Hopefully that's the case because Kansas didn't show the ability to keep up with an offense that looks as productive as the Ramblin Wreck's offense.
A few thoughts after the jump.
- Georgia Tech did give up 178 yards to 1AA South Carolina State. This might be an opening for the offensive line and the backs to get something positive going for the team.
- With that said, the coaching staff has made the decision to go with the pocket passer. Seems like an odd choice to me, especially when it was stated that Pick will likely see the field. If Coach Gill is making Webb the starter, go for it. Halfway and against a team that looks to have struggled against the rush just isn't adding up for me. Can someone help me out?
- The numbers from last week do show a defense that did their job against a 1AA team. Week 1 is clearly on the offense and special teams (as far as on the field causes).

I guess I'm turning back on my optomist mode
I don’t think KU will win Saturday but I do believe they can give it a good showing. I’m okay with playing both Quarterbacks. I remember Virginia Tech pulling quarterbacks in and out of the game all the way up the Orange Bowl. K-State played two quarterbacks last weekend.
You know...
if you took the good from this game and put it with the good from the Mangino years…we’d be a hell of a team!!
- DEFENSE IN THE CONFERENCE TAKE THAT!!!!!

Total rushes, total rushing yards?

Tech rushed for 378 yards on 56 carries
or 6.75 yards per carry.
Tech’s offense also generated 25 first downs last week (KU and NDSU combined for 24).

My positive spin is that Gill is basically extending the tryout.
If Coach Gill is making Webb the starter, go for it. Halfway and against a team that looks to have struggled against the rush just isn’t adding up for me. Can someone help me out?
Gill didn’t recruit these guys and he has only seen them play for a few months of practice. While it’s too bad that the tactic doesn’t exactly bolster either player’s confidence, the message is “neither of you have earned the job yet – show me what you can do to earn it”.
The only people who really know where [the edge] is are the ones who have gone over it.

I am still and will always be a fan....
But I still am bitter that we played so terrible last week. I hope they change my mind this week that this will not be a futile season.
Lets do to GT what happened to us last week.
