Final OOC game
Played UTC so there is some take away... Chatt won 27-20 at Chatt
UTC won though KSU missed two FGs.. Road game, dangerous !
Mostly I see that KSU :
Only gained about 280 yards. Nice. The split was 180 in the air and 100 on the ground. Interestingly, the run much more - again I like to see that ! - as they ran 35 times and passed 16 times. Like to see it. Side note- in both Tusculum and Chatt , KSU ran twice as much as they threw. I like it.
But the reason I saw "interestingly" is this is not ol' school inefficient option passing. They went 12-16 (very efficient) and gained 180 yards on 12 completions ! That's some big completions mixed in there. So while they run more than they pass .. when they hit a completion vs UTC they really capitalized.
I like to see that Chatt won despite a -2 turnover ratio. That tells me Chatt was probably the truly better team.
Those are positives I see...
Tough that Chatt had to get most of their yards through the air. Couldn't just pound away for 5/6 yards a run. Chatt got 275 of their 400 yards via the air.
So 400 yards for Chatt and 280 for KSU.
But even with Ford, KSU held up vs the run decently -Ford is a very good runner and only got 58 yards on 17 carries. That's a strong effort by KSU. Many SoCon teams will give up much more to Ford I suspect. he runs hard. Overall, UTC ran 30 times for 120 yards - a 4.0 average.
Both teams were incredibly efficient passing the ball as UTC went 23-28 (! wow) for 275 yards. So they were definitely able to move the ball easier through the air. I watched a little prior to our game and one of the UTC catches was a bounce off a DB then caught and run for a TD of 70 yards or so. Still, it appears Chatt went to the air for most of their success.
I like everything I see here (KSU wants to run but struggled) except that we may not be able to run on them easily.
