Jayhawk Tuah: Official BYU v. Kansas Thread

[Harry Tic]

I'm a big fan of Lassiter. He has had some catches that posterize the defenders.

I agree. He can be spectacular at times. But I seem to remember at least 3 or 4 head-scratching drops. High ceiling for him but he needs to be consistent.

This is one year where I'm actually more confident in our defense than our offense. Hill has done a great job with his coverages and defensive packages. Seems to me that on offense when we're firing on all cylinders we're great but I'm perpetually afraid of the wheels coming off. The WR drops this year have been maddening. Lassiter's a great weapon but he needs to clean it up.

That is a thread title for the books, YO!

I'm with SIEQ.

My biggest concern is Daniels. He can run and throw, and that has been a bit of a struggle for our D against several opponents this year (including our closest games--SMU, Baylor, Okie St., and Utah)

Our offensive scheme hasn't changed significantly since Grimes was here, so I have a little concern there.

In only one of those games did Jay Hill know for certain which QB he'd be scheming against and that was Baylor. In the OSU and Utah games, even getting hints at who it would be were unhelpful as there was little to no game film on either. At the time BYU played Baylor, Sawyer Robertson had 2 real games of film as a starter (I don't count Air Force).

I think the Cougars win this game by 10. Some commentators are, I think, undervaluing our defense when they describe us as "lucky" and so forth. I'm not an expert or anything, but people who do know more about defense--like Hans Olsen--say that we pick up so many turnovers because we confuse offenses, hide our coverage in a manner that is reminiscent of the pros, and have more field smarts than the average team. Vegas has us at -3.5 and I'd take that in a heartbeat.

Good Retzlaff interview on Sportscenter. He has a great knack with the media.

This version seemed to be a bit better quality of recording:

Pay has given interviews in which he states he's playing.

That’s a good source. But I’ll believe it when I see it.

[SteelBlue]

I don’t think we see either play. Bruce Mitchell is a better C than Pay, IMO. Makasini is banged up. He played some against Utah, but Leausa played RG most of the game.

Which ones?

Pay and Keim are both listed on the roster for this week.

Pretty sure Keim had surgery today.

[Green Monstah]

How is this allowed? Is he on loan from the Commanders?

That’s funny. Jalon (but man, that Jayden Daniels…..)

[USUC]

All of our remaining games are dangerous. KU has bounced back from a rough start. Jayden Daniels is a dual threat QB, who I think will play on Sundays.

Houston knocked off KSU. And the second biggest surprise in the B12 is ASU. Leavitt can sling it. Skattebo is a one-man wrecking crew.


And we’re down 2-3 o-linemen.

Skattebo is so fun to watch. Runs with pure purpose and violent intent.
