Have you guys been watching this KU team? KU 42 TTU 35

jhawkrulz 1 year, 7 months ago

I think you have dislexia...KU 24 TTU 53 is what you meant to type.

khelm9 1 year, 7 months ago

And you have obviously not watched TTU at all. 44-38 KU.

alphajay 1 year, 7 months ago

johnsont1 got it just about right! KU 42 TTU 31

RCJH!

rockchalk1990 1 year, 7 months ago

Hope you're right. I must admit, you have more faith in our D than I!!!

danmoore 1 year, 7 months ago

For the first time in my life I will be rooting for Nebraska. Hope they win the conference before blending into the epitome of mediocrity known as the big 10.

Go Wisconsin, kick their ass!

hawkinator 1 year, 7 months ago

badger badger badger badger!

Texas Tech 56 Kansas 52 1000+ combined yards, 0 turnovers, 0 punts in this game.

Baylor 45 Kansas St. 24 Baylor's offense is ridiculously good and KState's offense really hasn't been that impressive this year.

Texas 48 Iowa St. 21 Case McCoy is the real deal and ISU has been more lucky than good this year. ISU's luck runs out when they play a legit top 15 team.

Arkansas 38 Texas A&M 28 Aggies is 0-4 against SEC teams over the last 2 years, now make it 0-5 as they realize life in the SEC is going to suck for them on the field in the next few years.

Michigan St. 27 Ohio St. 24 This should be a good game between two good teams. Neither are real B1G title contenders, but they're still good teams.

Alabama 31 Florida 14 Bama's defense shines in the Swamp against Florida's one dimensional offense.

Bonus pick Wisconsin 35 Nebraska 21 Nebraska is the most overrated team in the top 10 and will get a very rude welcoming to the B1G at Camp Randell this weekend.

jhawkrulz 1 year, 7 months ago

I wish KU was an overrated team in the Top 10.

rockchalk1990 1 year, 7 months ago

Love the KU prediction, might be just about right!!!

haydenhawkco 1 year, 7 months ago

I agree with you on the Baylor game - I think Griffin is going to have a HUGE day. Also, Nebraska hasn't been able to pull away from teams until the second half; you can't do that against Wisconsin. Should be a fun game.

justinryman 1 year, 7 months ago

kesmithstl1 1 year, 7 months ago

btw, KU 120- Tech 121. Defense is for good teams!

rrockchalk 1 year, 7 months ago

wow, those numbers are high even for basketball

KGphoto 1 year, 7 months ago

Hard to believe a team that barely edged out Nevada, at home last week, and probably should've lost the game, is getting this much love from fans and writers.

KU will be playing at home and has the tools to not only keep up with TTech, but to blow them out. Keep Rell on the bench and cut way back on the Wild Cat. Send Jacorey long and hand it to Four Score all day.

All due respect Tait. but you're going down this week.

KU 42 TTech 35

Favorite Cereal Box Character: Special K

troutsee 1 year, 7 months ago

Agree with above. TT whalloped a terrible New Mexico teamand the had a tough time beating a mediocre Neveda team, was lucky to do so. I think KU has a golden opporturnity to pull the upset in this one. Come on D!!!!

troutsee 1 year, 7 months ago

Also, on Wisconsin.!!
