Opportunity

From our reading of the season stats, Memphis looks like Kansas on offense, but Cincy on defense. Contrast.

Hopefully the offensive staff pulls out the play sheets from the Kansas State and BYU games and keeps the Memphis defense honest by throwing the ball. If the staff over thinks things and focuses only on running the ball, they might start with three 3-and-outs and find themselves down 17-0 in the first half.

Until the Iowa State defense shows that it can slow the Memphis offense, the offensive staff has to come in with an Arenaball mentality: TDs on every possession are mandatory. Barring another gonzo day from Sama, the mixed scheme looks like a winner.

Hopefully ISU finds a way for a 10 point win- but don't be surprised if our collective butts are puckered in the 4th.
