***Official Miami @ KSU Musings***

Miami will win tomorrow if the make Klein one dimensional. I say force him to throw. We cannot let him have it all, both the run and pass. I would sell out to stop the run and see what he can do in the air.

I am not buying that KState is better then Miami. We got stopped at the 1ft line cause string bean couldn't get through a wet paper bag on a run. We played like absolute crap last year and still should have won the **** game. Frankly IMO this team is a better and much stronger team then last years. The defense is a little shaky but a lot of cats played last week and a lot were youngins making their first real impact on a game. I expect things to slow down a little for the D and they will be much better then last week. Klein is a very good QB but he isn't great. Play your gaps and this team is very beatable. I expect us to win, but that all depends on the O protecting the ball and not having many 3 and outs.

First of all, the win at BC was huge. Folks can say it was a mediocre BC team all they want. What do they think we are? This aint 2001. So big congrats on a big win. Now I am curious to see how we respond up at KSU. I think we will get better as a team all year, or atleast hope we will. Defensively we were pretty bad, but in spite of that we had a few anti-atlanta brave moments, aka, CLUTCH! Not much of the game, but a few clutch plays. Anyways, Im just not sure how we are going to be able to stop anyone this year, let alone Klein from State. I get the sense that we will actually be marginally better this week on first and second downs, but Klein may break our backs and hearts with some third down scrambles. I anticipate State having some very long drives. That does one thing to a defense, but what I really wonder is what it will do to our offense with young skill players? Looking at this game on paper, it should be a shootout. I really liked the way Morris played last week along with those skill guys and OL. The skill players stepped up after KT decided he wasnt going to catch a ball. Anyways, if our young kids on O can stay engaged while the D is on the field, we have a shot. If they get flustered we get blown out in a 59-19 fashion. I have little expectations for our D to be honest. I really think we are that bad right now. So one of the keys to the game has to be to score more than State. I just think that if we can score more than State we have a good shot at winning. Morris has to get better in order for us to win. He played very well, but he had a let down at the end of the third qtr iirc. That can not happen.

I think each qtr we will see 17-13 or 14-10 type scorings. I think we are too bad defensively and State is too well coached to lose to an undermanned Miami team. State wins and covers the spread. I hope to be wrong.

This **** doesn't happen at Miami any more. We may lose, but we aren't getting blown out/QUOTE]


I wish I was wrong, but u were saying ...
