Stanley Starting?

Yes

Kendrick has to be hurt then right?

@Kcmatt7 Correct. Ruled out.

Cool. I think they may finally have the QB thing finally figured out. Bender is the 3rd best QB for this particular team.

Michigan State struggling against CMU so far...

MSU has really sucked.

WVU may have a real shot at the playoffs

@Kcmatt7 They are alarmingly bad.

Only real threat to OU in the league.

@BShark for a team that was expected to be legit top 10, its been ugly

Indiana struggling early. Clemson struggling early as well

@Kcmatt7 Dantonio to me is just about the football version of Bruce Weber. Good coach, but never going to win a title and best when undervalued. Both are very consistent in fielding average teams.

Rutgers leading Indiana is hilarious.

Gundy had to go for it on 4th down against lowly KU. Sad.

Still going run us out of the building. Defensive morale is going to go down the toilet if they score again and we don't.

@Kcmatt7 Oh definitely. KU doesn't belong on the same field as OSU.

We have had a few plays that looked smoother than usual.

If you're looking for positives lol.

That touchdown was actually well coached. Good play call, good usage of the end of the 1st quarter

Carter looks pretty good, we only down a score if the defense could show up we may be able to stay with them.

lets see some D and maybe a turnover

Carter is just making the easy plays. Maybe not hitting guys with bullets, but definitely getting the offense moving.

@Kcmatt7 the underhand pass was def not a bullet

Could have stopped Hill for a loss but instead he goes for like 13 yards. Yeppp.

OSU doesn't even need to throw the ball. :shrug:

Wow this defense is baaaaaaaaaaaad

I'd run that play again

Wow, defense is back to way outta position every play again, they may score everytime they touch it

Two plays, two wide ass open guys 30 yards down the field...

I would love to see what the d would look like without bowen

Good thing we have ONE OF THE GREATEST DEFENSIVE MINDS IN THE GAME coaching up this defense. :rolling_eyes:

Jesus WV is already up 28-7 after Q1 in Lubbock, maybe we wont have worst loss today lol

@kjayhawks Definitely won't: http://www.espn.com/college-football/game?gameId=401012292 ↗

So much for smooth offense

Yea bama will win by 70 today lol

Whelp we aint even gonna compete today lol 4 man rush gets the QB in 2 seconds. Can we fire Beaty today?

Our Oline still looks like complete shit

Bad coaching too. Why tf are they in a 3 point stance on a passing down with no rb in the backfield?

Kcmatt7 said:

I mean, it is. There is no P5 talent on it.

Indiana working Rutgers now

That was a TD by the QB. I'm so confused. OSU got screwed

Could you imagine the numbers pooka could put up if we had an even average oline.

Shouldn't Bowen have been fired at halftime? Or at least by the end of the 3rd Q? Our safeties stink.

@stoptheflop years, years ago he should've been ran outta town.

Getting beaten today is bad enough, right? Why is FOX showing plays from other games where we were also beaten?

I'll give the players credit here, they are trying to make it interesting here.

Positive from today, we have a QB folks.

Yeah, hopefully he starts going forward.

@BShark he easily looked like the best QB so far today, against a decent team.

Jayballer been tuting his horn for a long time.

@BShark The Thing about Carter , he is at least has a little mobile. - -Myself personally , I've always liked Carter - much more in fact then Bender Bender is like he has concrete blocks around his feet . - - - At least Stanley can give you a little of both - -The 2nd half was better then the 1st yet our defense is just sad. - - ROCK CHALK ALLD AY LONG BABY

I Know I've been in the minority. Just personally for me , I would much rather have him starting , I think big factor is that he has at least some mobility and not like the statue of liberty. - - Example - - - I know he got sacked I think 4-5 times today , with this offensive line - - how many times would Bender of gotten sacked today? - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 I wasn’t sure before today but that was one of the best performances from a QB since the Reesing era, 24/32 for 247 with 3 TDs and no picks.

@jayballer73 i'll admit when I'm wrong. And, brotha, you were right on the money. I'd still like to see what Kendrick can do, but Stanley should not lose the starting spot at this point without a ridiculously poor performance or injury.

I've been right there with ya buddy.

@Kcmatt7 Kendrick hasn’t impressed me to this point to be honest, I’d red shirt him at this point in the season. Stanley should be the unquestioned guy moving forward, the second half I was pleased offensively, the defense needs work but a couple of injuries I think played a factor in guys being outta position. I still think this team is improved from last year by a fair amount. The trouble is when you lose by an average of 32 points in conference like we did a year ago, you have to improve a ton just to be in the game. I could see this team stealing a win or two yet this season but I think it’s too little to late for Beaty especially after losing to Nichols.

I know Buddy. I have no problem with Kendrick either. It's just for me I have felt that Carter for sure should be starting over Bender - -Bender to me is just a dead target back there - -People have pointed out and may rightfully so , have pointed out Bender being a better passer , - - Could be BUT I just don't think that it is such a glaring difference as to where Bender should be starting, Carter a much better dual QB being able to run some - actually a lot better then Bender and competitive in throwing. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Side note : -- Ryan Willis right at 230 yards and Virginia Tech up on Duke at half - -Ryan 2 TD'S 0 int's in a HALF- - - -hmmmmm. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Negative from today, most everything else is still the same.

Ryan ends up with 332 yards nd 3 TD'S and 0 Int's against Duke in his 1st start since 2016 - -NA we can't use him can we Coach? lmao. - - -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo I actually think KU has good talent in several areas, the trouble is it not on the most important area on the roster, Offensive line. The official attendance was 18,634, wow I think that maybe the least I can ever remember seeing. Sad.

Pretty typical thinking from Coach Beaty after todays loss > He is not ready to Commit to Cater after todays loss. - - Options? - -Options ? - - your right Coach Carter doesn't deserve the chance to start again after today does he? - - -little FYI , this kind of thinking from you is ONE of many reasons why your at where your at, which after this year - - don't trip - -you won't have to worry about it - - you'll be gone.

To think I tried to defend you for so long - -must of been all those months when I was drinking my 4 Loco that type of thinking - -not even for sure about even just the NEXT game- -is just insane. - -Do you think Kendrick will be back next week Coach? - If he is back , will he be 100 % with his shoulder Coach? - - So basically it's giving Carter the opportunity to start even if it's just this NEXT game to see how he can do - were not sure that's what we want to do - - Right Coach? - -I mean because were not sure if he played well enough to earn the chance to start this next game again right Coach? - -How about this - -let's start Bender against that WV defense ok Coach?

IF and I say IF you could promise us that Kendrick would be 100 % next week and you wanted to start him I reckon I wouldn't have a beef with that, , If he started and couldn't produce then we bring in Carter - -I probably wouldn't have a beef with that. - -However let's start Bender right Coach? - let's not give Carter the opportunity this coming week ok Coach? - - you amaze me - -one idiot decision after the other. - -Don't worry I hear Arby's has an opening on night shift. - - - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 I drank a 4 locos on a dare one time ...well, part of one. It's like sweetened goat piss with a kick like a mule. My brain cells tremble at the mere mention of that stuff. years ago, I worked with a guy we called Loco Doug. He had a pretty bad drinking issue, and he had lost his license, and had to ride a bike to work. Well, Doug got fired for what else...drinking on the job, and come to find out a week later, Doug had been pulled over on his bicycle for not having a light on his bike at night, and received a DUI. On his bike. The dude had a masters degree from Tenn, and couldn't figure out that 4 Locos is hazardous to your wealth.

I'm sure Beaty will announce Stanley as the QB...just waiting for the right moment.

@KUSTEVE There was couple of the 4 loco's I really liked. - The Grape was pretty good and there was another. - Your right that stuff would knock your you know what right in the dirt. - -Got me in some trouble - the wife made me quit drinking it. - -hmmmm wonder why lol. -- Maybe cause I was streaking with a buddy through the dirty south at 3 in the morning him and I doing the ROCK CHALK CHANT at the top of our lungs buck ass naked lmao. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 LMAO. Chicks certainly don't dig 4 Locos. If I'm trying to get a buzz, I'll buy the extra powerful Natty Daddy. It's 12.6 alcohol content. Two of those Tall Boys, and I'm out like a light. Of course, the last time I drank those was when I was sitting in the dark after Hurricane Irma last year. My body can't hold up to doing that more than about once a year, so I really suck as a drinker.
