Hatter...
What did you tell me when I was b*tching and moaning after the 12-3 debacle in '05? Jason Swanson, our best QB, did not play in that game. Swanson went on to lead ku to 4 out of 5 wins to end the season.
I'll tell you what you told me: every team has injuries. I specifically remember you citing K-State's injuries on the o-line. Guess what... tough luck. Even though ku had the better season, K-State fans insisted that the head-to-head match-up was the deciding factor in who had the better team.
You can't have it both ways. If ku had barely won against K-State like you guys did against us in '05, it might be different, but 3 TD's? Come on.
And Kerry Meier was just as bad in that game only he never had the type of games Freeman had vs. Texas, Colorado, and Okie Lite. Freeman at least has the potential to carry a team and he will get more consistent and whoa once his OL develops. Meanwhile Meier had a consistent running game and OL to help him out and...well. I love our future w/ Freeman.
Meier was working with a bum shoulder all season after that Toledo game. Despite that, Meier had 13 passing TD's and 10 INT's to go along with 5 rushing TD's. 18 TD's and 10 INT's for a redshirt-freshman, with a QB rating of 123.43 is pretty solid.
Freeman, on the other hand, had 6 passing TD's and 15 INT's to go along with 2 rushing TD's. 8 TD's and 15 INT's with a QB rating of 103.45 isn't even that good for a true freshman. He also had a lower completion % than Kerry Meier.
Todd Reesing had a QB rating of 145.98.
I love our future with Meier and Reesing.
