think we learned we are better last wk, just not sure how much better........but think we will learn much more this wk about where we stand as a team, and in the big 12........and a handful of good games that will show maybe who did well in the portal, and others not as well
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wk 1 Big 12 update
* Utah - 49-0 over S Utah.....par for the course, Utes dominate these games
* Kansas - 48-3 over lindenwood.......pretty sure I would take Gr Canyon club fb team to make a closer game than lindenwood
* C Florida - 57-3 over N Hampshire..........drawing no conclusions on any outcomes from a NHamp fb squad
* TCU - rallies to beat Furd, 34-27......decent W @ worst on the road...and yes, Furd has struggled last couple yrs but still decent W
* W Virg - lost to P State, 34-12 @ W Virg.......decent showing against highly ranked team
* Okie St 44-20 over South Dak State.......yes the same SD State that hammered pretty much everybody last yr, no idea what they have returning this yr
* K State 41-6 over U Tenn Martin..........drawing no conclusions, but did what they were suppose to do
* Tucson tech 61-39 over a pretty bad N Mex team.........who is coached by Bronco Mendenhall, solid coach, but as we all know N Mex is a very tough place to win..........watched bits and pieces, McMillan is going to be listed on All american team at some level
* Cincinnati 38-20 over Towson.........is Towson an all girls school???
* Iowa St 21-3 over my Beloved Fightin Sioux.......
* Baylor 45-3 over Tarleton.......will save my breath
* Houston loses to UNLV 27-7 @ houston........Not a good sign, regardless of whether unlv is any good'
* Tx tech over Mighty Abilene Christian, 52-51.......must have been a doozy
* BYU over S illinois 41-3
Back to MIss St game....E Kentucky 5-6 a yr ago, got hammered by Cincy L yr but played Kentucky tough .........they had one of worst DEF's @ FCS Level.....lost most of their OFF firepower from 2023.....E Kentucky only had 1 turnover yesterday and still got hammered......MIss St outgained them 450-300.......averaged 6 yards per rush, no turnovers.......Devil D provided Shapen's #'s above, solid 5th yr QB.........Miss St was 5-11 on 3rd down, 2-3 on 4th
Hard to draw conclusions on games vs E Kentucky types, but certainly think Miss St will have better athletes than Wyoming...........expecting tough game
