I’m sure I’ll take some heat for this but I think we are closer to missing a bowl game than we are knocking off OU, if I had to choose one extreme or another based on the caliber of play the last 2 weeks.
I believe in GP but I think we look like a 6 or 7 win team currently.
And Tech. I refuse to believe they are better than we are. Teams that play 45-35 type games are usually considered “better” than teams that play 17-10 type games and I’m not sure why.
I’m not sure I would agree that the defense is damn good. We have more or less average line play, below average linebackers, above average corners, one superstar safety and two average safetiesDefense is damn good
Offense is mediocre as hell
I’m not sure where the offense is that showed up against OSU.
This team is a 6 or 7 on a scale of 1-10 for Gary Patterson teams.
Ty Summers is below average to you? That tells us all we need to know about your scouting prowess.I’m not sure I would agree that the defense is damn good. We have more or less average line play, below average linebackers, above average corners, one superstar safety and two average safeties
We haven’t been able to get any consistent pressure on anyone without bringing a blitz, we aren’t tackling well, and we have big holes in coverage that good quarterbacks can exploit.
I’m probably being too hard on them because I’m comparing them to other GP defenses, but still, all in all I’ve been a little disappointed in the defense.

Ty Summers has played one full game at linebacker this season, and he isn’t as good there this season as he was last season, probably because he’s had to switch back and forth to DE in practice. As for our other LBs, I’d say they’re below average. Wallow is the best, and he will be a great LB one day, but right now he just isn’t making tackles consistently when he makes contact with ball carriers.Ty Summers is below average to you?

That’s fair. Like i said it is unfair because I’m comparing them to other GP defenses rather than the whole FBSWe are still more fundamentally sound than most defenses out there.....by a fairly wide margin IMO. Sometimes I watch games and it seems like the teams don't care even care about defense and that they're more interested in just getting the ball back.
Id like to see more jawuan Johnson at lb.
I think this must be what it is. I definitely saw at least one play where Johnson clearly didn’t know where he was supposed to be at LBMe too. He looks great on special teams. The only reason I can figure he isn’t in on more LB plays is because he hasn’t yet grasped all the play calls? Otherwise I got nothin.
Tonight was the 3rd time since joining the Big 12 and the first non Kansas team we’ve held a Big 12 opponent under 200 yards.That’s fair. Like i said it is unfair because I’m comparing them to other GP defenses rather than the whole FBS
30 on all of them? combined, maybe!We can keep Tech, Baylor, OU, WVU and OK State under 30, but can we score more than 30 on all of them? I’m not so sure as of tonight.
Hate to break it to you but we suck. Can't execute at really any aspect of the game.
I love our defense. Our offense? Not so much.Hate to break it to you but we suck. Can't execute at really any aspect of the game.

Hate to say it, but Patterson needs to get more involved in the offense.
If it weren’t for that ridiculous 30 yard quarterback scramble on third and 25 on that play, Iowa State would have had about 165 yards of total offense.Yeah our defense that people bounce off and get 5 yards? Y'all need to wake up.
I thought the same things until yesterday. I thought we got some bad breaks and dumb plays against aOSU and clearly we gave the game away against Texas. But after yesterday I saw our ridiculous play calls on offense. Refusing to throw down the field. Looking awful in the red zone. And our continued bad tackling on defense. 3rd and 25 are you scheissing kidding me??
