Kansas State: Community Projections

58930-x_medium

With us reaching the stretch run of our season preview, we're reaching the stretch run of Community Projections. Here's what went down earlier in the week:

 

 

To the questions:

 

1. What will be the final score of the Mizzou/Kansas State game in Columbia?

2. What record will Kansas State finish with in 2008 and what bowl (if necessary) will they be invited to?

3. Predict Josh Freeman's stat line for the day.

4. How many turnovers will each team have?

5. Will the home finale against Kansas State outdraw last year's finale against Texas A&M (64,945)?

 

To save you a trip to Google, here's K-State's 2008 schedule:

8/30 - North Texas
9/6 - Montana State
9/17 - at Louisville
9/27 - UL-Lafayette
10/4 - Texas Tech
10/11 - at Texas A&M
10/18 - at Colorado
10/25 - Oklahoma
11/1 - at Kansas
11/8 - at Missouri
11/15 - Nebraska
11/22 - Iowa State

I'm first!

1 – Mizzou 38, KSU 14

2 – I said 7-5 earlier…that sounds pretty Shreveportish to me…maybe the Insight Bowl…

3 – 255 yards passing, 1 TD, 2 INTs.

4 – Mizzou 1, KSU 3

5 – If KSU’s doing well enough to send some fans down, maybe. Otherwise…like The Beef always says, I think we pretty much maxed our fanbase out with the 64K+ at the ATM game…would be damn impressed if we topped that without some help from KSU…then again, if we’re undefeated, it would be a completely different story…

I'll chime in

1—Mizzou 41, K-State 27

2—6-6. Insight.

3—21/33, 270 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT

4—Mizzou 2, K-State 2

5—What does Faurot hold? Surely you can max out on Chase Daniel’s senior day, right?

We'll carry the banner high!

you know...

...I hadn’t even THOUGHT about this: not only will it be Chase Daniel’s (and William Moore’s, and Chase Coffman’s) Senior Day…it’ll also be Aaron O’Neal’s. Seriously…with the emotion running through that place that day…yikes. Maybe I’ll change my prediction to more like 222-0. :-)

And yes…with that in mind, I’m ready to predict something close to 66K if we haven’t collapsed somewhere along the way…

Projections

1. 44-27, Mizzou

2. 5-7, with a shot at 6-6 and an Insight/Independence bid.

3. 19/30, 191 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

4. KSU 2, MU 1

5. I’m hoping TB is right. You never know when – between weather, gas/travel from STL and KC, and FREAKIN’ DEER HUNTING – something can happen to keep some of the fan base away. I’ll say that, for senior day of the most important senior class since, well, last year, Faurot will host 65,500ish for that game.

Here’s the largest crows since Faurot has been at current capacity:
70,049, vs. Nebraska, Oct. 6, 2007
68,349, vs. Nebraska, Oct. 11, 2003
68,174, vs. Nebraska, Sept. 25, 1999
68,174, vs. Kansas State, Nov. 21, 1998
66,846, vs. Nebraska, Nov. 8, 1997
64,945, vs. Texas A&M, Nov. 10, 2007
64,657, vs. Kansas State, Oct. 21, 2006
64,204, vs. Nebraska, Sept. 29, 2001
63,396, vs. Texas Tech, Oct. 20, 2007
62,045, vs. Oklahoma, Oct. 28, 2006

65,500 would be good enough for sixth since ‘95 and would just outdraw last year’s finale.

Do I count as community?

Anyways…

1. What will be the final score of the Mizzou/Kansas State game in Columbia?
38-18, MU. K-State becomes the first team (yes, I said the first team) to hold Mizzou below 40, but Mizzou wins in a romp. And yes, I probably said in previous projections that some team would hold Mizzou under 40, but I’m falling more and more in love with this offense every day. So sue me.

2. What record will Kansas State finish with in 2008 and what bowl (if necessary) will they be invited to?
I’ll do this a la The Boy (or maybe it was The Beef…anyways)...
Almost Sure Wins: North Texas (although if this game were in Denton, I might have a different opinion…as rpt can attest, Todd Dodge is going to have that team humming soon, if he can find some defense), Montana State, UL-L, Iowa State
Almost Sure Losses: Tech, A&M, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Mizzou.
Toss Ups: Louisville, Nebraska
That’s between 6-6 and 4-8, so I’ll say 5-7.

3. Predict Josh Freeman’s stat line for the day.
If he survives against OU’s defense, something to the tune of 18 for 35, 215 yards, a touchdown and two picks.

4. How many turnovers will each team have?
4 for KSU (two INTs, two fumbles), 3 for Mizzou (two INTs, one fumble).

5. Will the home finale against Kansas State outdraw last year’s finale against Texas A&M (64,945)?
65k or bust. I say yes.
