What does that mean, that they are still a P5 team?...
Kansas is a P5 team. They have had higher ranked recruiting classes than Ohio every single year. They have other problems, however, that Ohio hasn't had.
...But that first half was by them was awfully weak. Awfully. And, they showed no--zero--ability to run it.
Yes, we had something to do with that. But some consideration of the quality of the opponent is due.
We played well. No doubt. But KU was quite bad. ...
I said before the year that I expected that Ohio Ohio would have a very good front seven, one of their best ever. I believe Kansas will not be the last team that has trouble running against them.
...One thing to consider. Our receivers dropped a few passes when wide open. That can't happen. Just can't. Beside Papi's speed, I see nothing at all exceptional about our receivers. None appear near All-MAC caliber. Point to one receiver who's 'must guard' or game-breaker/controller. Judge with objective eyes, not the green kool-aid. ...
I agree that there is still much to work on. There is talent there, and it will improve. Windham will improve, and the receivers will.
...Also. Papi may break one of those hand-offs around end. But there seemed to be 5-6 in the second half that went nowhere. Run more powerful running backs. ...
We'll have to see what his average is at the end of the year. Thus far he's below Brown and Irons.
...And, I doubt the qb draw type runs which worked so well in the first half--really sewed up the game--work much again this year. Teams will be ready for them.
Good. That's what you want. You want their linebackers watching for the QB to take off, and you want the defensive linemen focused on contain rather than sacks. That will really open up the passing attack, which is the real objective of passing plays. Windham will have time to throw, and lanes to throw into.
Sometimes teams will be overly aggressive going for sacks, and leave running lanes for the QB draw, and you need to punish them when they do with some draws, but you really don't want that as a primary attack because you don't want to get the QB hit every play.
