CU at Kansas (Arrowhead Stadium) - November 23 - 1:30 PM on FOX

Highly recommend everyone watch them vs ISU. Both teams were complete ass on defense. Neither looked impressive. ISU’s slow receivers were getting plenty of separation and KU doesn’t play physical and handsy like Utah. Our receivers should kill this defense based on that game. Our D should hold up much better against their run game and force some turnovers from Daniels

Both KU and BYU looked like trash last week if you watched. KU’s punt was an act of God and proof he is not a Mormon.

Stats, eye test, record, and top-end talent all favor CU in this matchup. Watching the ISU game actually relieved a lot of stress for me. This game shouldn’t be close.





Jayhawks win by 11

Stats that interest me:

Defense:
  • FEI has Kansas as the 54th ranked D.
  • They get after the QB some with 2.4 sacks per game.
  • Their red zone D aint bad either - 36th in the country.

Offense:
  • They are elite in protecting the QB. 6th in the nation and less than a sack per game given up.
  • Kansas is 7th in the nation in 3d down conversions and they get 50% of them.
  • Kansas has an elite red zone offense - 34 RZ attempts, 27 Tds, 6 FG. 33 out of 34 scores! 2d in the nation.
  • Kansas averages 5.1 Yards per rush, good for 24th in the country.
  • Kansas has solid yards per attempt too, 42 or so.
  • QB rating Kansas is 79th -

That red zone battle between their O and our D is likely going to be decisive. We need to come up with some INTs as well.

These stats do NOT point to a team that is fighting for bowl eligibility. That sounds like a top 25 time which just goes to show how much they've turned around since the poor start.

It's basically like playing NDSU again

During a video, Will Sheppard was asked how Big12 venues compare to the SEC's. He laughed.

I don't think Arrowhead will intimidate anyone. It holds 75k, Alabama over 100k.

Thank goodness he is getting better and better. He was really off those first six games. Like awful. I wanted him benched. Guess just a different system and different quarterback, time to adjust. But he was dropping balls right in his hands.

Miller (NDSU), Johnson (KSU), Robertson (Baylor), Fifta (Arizona), & Jefferson (UCF) all have higher or equivalent rushing grades per PFF compared to Daniels at KU.

What @NWD Buff said. I didn't say we haven't played any, I'm saying that it's been 3 games and a bye week since we played a real runner. I also question Fifita's status as a runner. He's shifty, but he's definitely pass first and I don't recall any running plays called for him against us.

Its not the called QB run plays that have hurt us. We've been very good against those. Its the unscripted QB runs that have hurt us.

Kansas defensive Stop Rate (57%) is in the bottom tier (95th) of all CFB schools. Conversely, CUs Stop Rate is 71.2% ranked 15th. CUs defense could be the key to victory. Stop Rate is a basic measurement of success: The percentage of a defense's drives that end in punts, turnovers or a turnover on downs. Defensive coordinators have the same goal regardless of their scheme, opponent or conference: prevent points and get off the field. Stop rate is a simple metric and offers a good reflection of a defense's effectiveness on a per-drive basis.

Tickets acquired, parking bought. Now gotta be prepped to sit in enemy territory. My tickets are in 118, middle of KU season ticket holders. Bought them from my brother-in-law's younger brother.

How much was parking and where will you be?
I’m still trying to decide if I should buy parking now or wait until gameday

It was $50 + $3.75 (fee) through Ticketmaster (Chiefs app) but is also available here https://www.ticketmaster.com/parkin...ty-missouri-11-23-2024/event/060060C3C4C65278 or here https://am.ticketmaster.com/chiefs/buy/parking

My BIL said to buy before hand, he thought it was $60 at the gate, and reading https://www.chiefs.com/schedule/event-calendar/kansas-football-at-geha-field-at-arrowhead-game-4 it says parking must be pre-purchased.

I have no idea where the parking will be, it says RED and from looking at the stadium parking maps it could be any of like 5 lots depending on where you enter in at. We will probably park and head to the Buffs Bash. My BIL isn't going because my nephew has a soccer tournament, otherwise we would have probably tried to park by them.
 
I would not look at KU's season-long stats as much as the last few games. Something definitely switched in them.

I think it would be fallacious to look at season-long stats for either team. Stats from mid-October or even just November would tell a much more accurate tale for both teams. CU is not even the team that lost to KSU anymore, and KU certainly isn't the team that started 1-5.

Jalon Daniels is a much better QB than KJ Jefferson
Click to expand...
For the time period we played K.J. and how confident he was, I would give Jalon a tier above him but Jalon has struggled at short and intermediate passes more than K.J. did at the time played him. Jalon deep ball is better and there are a few possessions where K.J. missed reads for Kobe Hudson in that game that Jalon will take advantage of. This is one of those games, the secondary has to be ready to cover the full field.

For whatever reason, that lost screwed K.J. head up something serious. They lost 3 WRs that game to the portal. The kicker quit. It just seemed like the entire team hit a mental wall after that loss.

Of all teams we played, that UCF team was the best one on film going into the game. As far as all year outside of us

1. Early season BYU was a legit top 10 team
2. Recent weeks Arizona State looks like a top 15 team.
3. UCF going into week 4 was the best team we played on film going into the game. They even had by far the best grade on PFF. That said, they had severe flaws on film like Kansas and I knew we would beat them
