we might try to score first

Since 1990, when the Wildcats score first, they have gone 113-15

I hear from inside sources we're also going to attempt to win this game!

We have a lot of lopsided stats that include the phrase "since 1990."  They are meaningless.

The Cats have scored first in every game this year, but it hasn't translated to a 90% win percentage.  The total under Prince is 8-4.

I wonder what our record is since 1990 when our defense doesn't &@#% up and lose the game?

Auburn was the offense's fault.  Primarily Alesana getting layed out by Groves.

Offense didn't give up the go ahead TD drive.

Alesana is single-handedly responsible for both losses this season.  His two false starts against Auburn as well as whiffing on Groves as he proceeded to drill Freeman KILLED KSU in that game.  In the ku game, he decided to implement the little used closed-fist head-shot blocking technique right in front of an official - 2x.  Both instances KILLED drives in which KSU was gutting ku on the ground and starting to establish something on offense. 

Thank you Alesana.  Your play this season has cost KSU a chance at the BCS title game.  I hope you can sleep at night.

IMO the fact that the defense gave up late 4th quarter td's in both games is what led to the losses.

It's equally plausible that without him, we're in even worse shape.  Obviously, the next best option isn't good enough to displace him.

I was not really serious.  You can hardly blame Alesana entirely.  He has blown this year, however.  A silver lining is KSU's low number of sacks allowed.  I'm sure Alesana will get better with time.

As far as the "next best option" you reference, I believe that Alesana had nothing behind him on the depth chart to start the season.  Not a good situation, but we've done a pretty good job despite this fact.

Yes, exactly.  Makes it difficult for me to nitpick at his flaws at all.

Hopefully Garcia is the real deal and we'll see alesana at guard or something next year.

Prince has never lost at KSU when leading at half....
When tied or trailing at half though, he's never won.
