You have never once given ku credit for anything. Not even when ku smoked your team by 3 TD's last year. I've never seen a person so unwilling to admit he was wrong. All I can say is that you're about to find out what I've been preaching for the last few days in about a month.
ku's WR's are very good this year and we've got a QB that can get them the ball. I laugh at your notion that there are zero vertical threats when ku had 6 different guys score TD's, and Marcus Henry and Aqib Talib went for 50 yard bombs down field. Like I've said, you know nothing about ku. It's clear you didn't watch the game vs. CMU and it's clear you were more than surprised by the final score.
ku's o-line is improved as well the defense. You can doubt that until you see it for yourself. I'm basically done trying to make valid arguments with someone who thinks K-State's o-line is better than ku's. You can't even admit weakness when it's apparent to everyone else in the Big 12 that K-State's o-line has sucked for years now. Auburn didn't get as many sacks because the plays were designed to get the ball out of Freeman's hands as quickly as possible. That's the bottom line. You can deny it until you're blue in the face.
Your team has lost its last 3 games and your QB hasn't thrown a TD since the Texas game of last season. That's embarassing to say the least and I'm sure you'll have a justification for it in a matter of minutes. All I know is that the same defense and the same team minus Yamon Figurs and a couple senior LB's went to ku last year and got stomped. The battle up front was won by ku on both sides of the ball and it won't be any different this season.
1) I have given plenty of credit to ku over the past few years. Two years ago I thought your defense was very good and said as much. Last year your offense was good and said as much. But this is a new year and you lost 110-plus career starts in the middle of your OL. You don't seem to get it and no blowout of Central Michigan will indicate anything. Central Michigan gave up a lot of points LAST year and lost some key personnel off that team.
2) No, you don't have vertical threats. Central Michigan does not prove you have vertical threats. Jermaine Moreira hit on some long passes vs. the lesser teams but no KSU fan would say he was a "vertical" threat. Going into this season Henry, Fields, and Herford combined for the longest pass play of 31 yards....and playing longer or being more experienced doesn't add anything to that. You're either a vertical threat or you're not and they are not.
3) LOL again at your huffing and puffing about OL. Don't use the excuse about there being plenty of short passes...Freeman also held it a number of times and went through progressions. Now you can choose to believe what you want or you can watch all of the plays and judge for yourself. Only the dumbass fans believe KSU's offensive line performed poorly against Auburn. Even Ron Prince said the OL played well. Again, that front 7 we faced is BETTER than anything in the Big 12. You're the only one in denial...Spexarth was handling bullrushes by their DT's. Bedore looked very good. Stringer held his own any time Groves lined up over him. The OL isn't perfect but it has improved a LOT. Keep believing this is '04, '05, and even '06...that is what you choose to believe but then again you are one who uses beliefs and fairy tales rather than statistics, facts, and video evidence. Last year Florida scored 17 and LSU scored 3 on that front 7...get it yet?
4) I really don't care if Freeman has not thrown a TD pass in a few games or we lost a few games....two of those games were vs. very formidable opponents away from home and the 3rd we played a team in their super bowl w/ a mash unit.
LOL at you slipping Figurs in there...he sucked according to you until he was no longer in the program. Good stuff.
