-K-State defense very good so far. What's their ceiling? Could be a very good defense, but Big 12 is different level offensively. At end of year, numbers might not reflect how good they really are. They match up very well with teams like Stanford and FAU. But, watching Stanford handle USC made me feel better about K-State. We all felt good about our front 7, but K-State safeties lining up perfectly and are tackling really well, so that's a great sign.
-Running game dominated against FAU. How much confidence does that give you running game is back? First thing is, we really do have four legit RB's. Some teams talk that way, K-State really does. Barnes is Big 12 ready. Seven rushing TD's in a game......and four aren't even by your RB's. Very exciting times. We can trust Snyder to determine which back should be in there.....brains (Jones) vs. natural talent (Warmack/Barnes). Will depend on game, moment in game, location, etc. And, OL has come a long ways already.....Dickey is one of best OL coach in the country.
-It's been a very good sign that K-State has had success in the running game without having to run the QB much.
-What will we see tomorrow? MSU will be physical. Reflection of coach Steckel. QB can run and throw a little. But, up to K-State and how focused they are. They aren't on same level.
-Score? 48-6 K-State.
