Michezo · College footballKansas Stroh out: Jayhawks lose starting guard, West Virginia clears Matt SiegImeandikwa 14 Novemba 2026, 19:42 UTCTazamaNakala ya maneno0:00Kansas Strowe out.0:01Jayhawks lose starting guard.0:03West Virginia clears Matt Sieg.0:06Kansas has ruled out starting left guard Connor Stro.0:09West Virginia has cleared freshman safety Matt Sieg, giving its struggling secondary0:13another available defender.0:15Both teams also face offensive line changes.0:18Where do those changes leave them most exposed?0:20Strowe moved from doubtful to out in Thursday's update.0:23Sieg moved from probable to cleared and came off the list.0:26West Virginia can plan on having him available, though his playing time will depend0:29on his role.0:30Milan Puscar Stadium in Morgantown hosts the game Saturday, November14, with kickoff0:35scheduled for5:30 p.m.0:37Eastern on ESP New.0:39It's West Virginia's next two last home game.0:41The Mountaineers enter at five and four while Kansas is three and six.0:44Strowe leaves a substantial hole in a Kansas offense, averaging two hundred and one0:48point two rushing yards a game.0:50At six feet seven and three hundred and fifty pounds, he's been one of its more0:53consistent linemen, especially blocking for the run.0:56Junior Amir Herring is expected to replace him at left guard.0:59Herring has played two hundred and ninety two offensive snaps this season, including1:03two hundred at left guard at six feet three and three hundred and ten pounds.1:06He'd bring substantial experience at that exact position.1:10His promotion is still an expectation ahead of the game.1:12Herring has allowed two pressures and no sacks in one hundred and forty nine pass1:17plays.1:17His run blocking has drawn a less favorable assessment.1:20That leaves a genuine question about sustaining the ground game.1:23Even with a replacement whose pass, protection numbers offer encouragement.1:26Kansas has allowed one hundred and one pressures and ranks one hundred and thirty in1:30the past blocking grades.1:31Its quarterbacks have taken twelve sacks.1:33Pressure means a passer was disrupted or threatened, so it can happen without a1:37sack.1:37Those totals measure different outcomes.1:39Herring's own pass protection work gives Kansas some reason for confidence within1:43that struggling unit.1:44Losing Strowe puts a proven run blocker on the sideline.1:48How well Herring sustains that part of the offense is the bigger question about the1:51expected change.1:52Subscribe to this channel to follow the remaining availability decisions and how1:56these replacement lineups hold up.1:57Josh Asosa is slated to replace Amare Bubba Grayson for West Virginia.2:02Grayson remains out.2:03Asosa has allowed two pressures in sixty, one pass, protection plays this season,2:08with those pressures consisting of one quarterback hurry and one sack.2:11West Virginia leans even more heavily on the ground game, averaging two hundred and2:15sixty three point six rushing yards, six nationally.2:17Asosa's assignment affects the central strength of that offense.2:20Quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr.2:22can escape trouble with his legs, but the line still has to give him room to work.2:26Asosa's pass blocking grade is forty, two point zero, while his run blocking grade2:31is seventy, one point four.2:32Those are scouting evaluations within a limited workload.2:35The stronger run blocking assessment fits what West Virginia needs, but Saturday2:39will test him against Kansas.2:41Sieg returns to a secondary that has repeatedly given up big gains.2:44West Virginia allows three hundred and twenty two point eight passing yards a game.2:48Opponents average five hundred and one point zero total yards and thirty, four point2:52six points.2:53Having another safety available adds an option against an offense equipped to attack2:56downfield.2:57West Virginia ranks one hundred and thirty eight in passing yards allowed and one3:00hundred and thirty seven in pass efficiency defense.3:03It also ranks one hundred and thirty seven in total defense and one hundred and3:07thirty one in points allowed.3:08Sieg's clearance gives the coaches another available player within that difficult3:12defensive assignment.3:13Kansas has produced fifty, four plays of at least twenty yards, ninth nationally.3:17Quarterback Isaiah Marshall can threaten a defense through the air and on the3:20ground.3:20West Virginia has to contain that running threat while keeping receivers from3:24getting behind its safeties.3:25West Virginia has surrendered seventy plays of at least twenty yards, including3:29thirty, five of at least thirty.3:31Both are the country's highest totals.3:33Kansas has generated fifty, four plays of at least twenty yards.3:37These totals include runs and passes.3:39The matchup puts pressure on the front and the secondary together.3:42Committing defenders to stop the run can leave fewer players protecting deep space.3:46Rodriguez has identified both jobs as problems his defense has to handle better3:50against athletic quarterbacks.3:51West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez said, Here we go again about facing athletic3:56quarterbacks.3:57He added, Unfortunately, we've made other quarterbacks look really, really good, and4:01we've got to do a better job of containing their run game and playing the deep ball4:05better.4:06West Virginia's remaining absences extend beyond Grayson.4:09Thursday's list has six players out, including two offensive linemen.4:13That leaves A Sosa stepping into the lineup while more than one member of his4:16position group is unavailable.4:18Running back Andre Devine and tight end Campbell are out for West Virginia.4:22So are offensive linemen Amari Grayson and Lamarcus Dillard.4:25Defensive lineman Darius Wiley, and Nickel and Safety Emory Snyder.4:28Safety Damere Williams remains probable.4:31Kansas also has multiple offensive linemen unavailable.4:33Kazan Carpenter joins Stroh on its out list, alongside players from the backfield,4:38tight end group and defensive front.4:40Other decisions remain open in the secondary and at quarterback.4:43Kansas has ruled out running back Jalen Dupree and tight end Jack Uz.4:47Offensive lineman Kazan Carpenter and Connor Stro are out, along with defensive4:50lineman Grady Seifert.4:52Those are the five players carrying out designations on Thursday's list.4:55Quarterback Cole Ballard and safety Mason Ellis remain questionable.4:58Wide receiver Bryson Hayes and safety Jaden Harris are probable.5:01Those labels leave their availability subject to further updates, with the probable5:05players more likely to play than those listed questionable.5:08The Big Twelve introduced public availability reporting for conference games in5:12the2025 26 season.5:14Football teams submit daily updates starting three days before a game.5:18Available, probable, questionable, doubtful, and out describe the weekday5:22progression from expected participation to an absence.5:25An out designation can cover medical or non-medical reasons.5:28Players out for the season appear as out for at least one game, then can disappear5:32from later lists.5:33So Thursday's six West Virginia absences and five Kansas absences may not include5:37every season.5:38Long loss.5:39Each team's clearest exposure follows its personnel change.5:42Kansas must replace an established run blocker, with Herring offering experience and5:46encouraging pass protection work.5:48West Virginia needs a SOSA to support its running attack, while C gives the5:52secondary another option against explosive plays.5:55Daily reporting continues Friday.5:57For Saturday's kickoff, the final pregame report is due by four p.6:01m.6:01Eastern ninety minutes before the game.6:03The game day categories become available.6:05Game time decision and out, replacing the weekday labels.6:09A game time decision means coaches or medical personnel still need to evaluate the6:13player during warm-ups.6:14Out means he won't dress or be available.6:16Available means he'll dress and can play.6:18With his actual role and number of snaps, still up to the team.Soma makalaMfuatano wa matukio ya habariHeyDex
