In this week’s _FANalysis I looked at how K-State adjusted against Texas and dominated the 2nd half. This week’s _FANframes will look at a few of the key plays; Hubert’s big run to start the half, a new twist on speed option, ultimate power football with power toss, and 2 big pass plays to Lockett.

“I want to congratulate Kansas State on being Big 12 champions.  They have a really good football team and you understand that after watching them play.  Collin Klein did some great things in the fourth quarter and was physical and he also made the perfect throw that really put us in trouble.” – Texas Head Coach [...]

K-State’s biggest play in Fort Worth, a 62 yard pass from Klein to Harper, was K-State’s most memorable play in a game that didn’t feature a lot of big plays. The play action pass didn’t feature a lot of new things and relied mainly on a good double move by Harper and excellent throw by [...]

“They had a presence, and we have had those teams before when we were older. We need to understand that when we play against teams like that we have to have a presence. You need to have a swagger, and you have turn the knob up from the very beginning. You can’t hope that they [...]

OSU Defensive Coordinator Bill Young’s plan was pretty simple; load the box and limit K-State’s running game, play extremely physical with the front 7 (or 8/9), and any time you have a shot on the quarterback take it. In some ways it worked, K-State’s running game struggled much of the night and Collin Klein left [...]

“Well they did a good job and took care of the ball. I don’t think they turned it over. They were better in the areas that we needed to win in, in order to have a chance to win the football game.” – Oklahoma State Coach Mike Gundy A strange game; mainly because of the [...]

This week’s _FANalysis broke down how K-State attacked the Texas Tech defense, which came into the game statistically as one of the best defenses in the Big 12. _FANframes will break down multiple ways K-State’s defense exploited weaknesses, namely the play of Texas Tech’s safeties against both the run and the pass. K-State’s running game [...]

It seemed like last year, they got stronger as the game went on, in terms of their offense, we did not make them punt after the first quarter and that was key. – Texas Tech Coach Tommy Tuberville Down 10-3. 19 yards on 14 1st quarter snaps. 6 runs (3 option, 3 lead/power) for 6 [...]

In this week’s _FANalysis I broke down the way K-State used its passing game to gain chunks of yards in addition to the patience of the power running game and effectiveness of speed option. In _FANframes I’ll look at K-State’s 3 biggest pass plays (all catches by Tyler Lockett), counter lead run, and speed option [...]

What do you want me to change? We played somewhere in the neighborhood of probably 30 players on defense. They are what we got. – WVU Coach Dana Holgorsen It was clear Holgorsen and his defensive staff took a calculated risk with their game plan last Saturday night and it really sought to answer one [...]
