There are plenty of questions that Kansas State will have to answer before the season starts. Most notably, how does LHC Bill Snyder find a way to replace both Chase Coffman and Daniel Thomas?

Now, obviously, you can't take a defense that gave up so many yards last season and turn them into an elite unit only a season later. If defensive coordinator Chris Cosh can pull that off, then give him a huge raise and a head coaching position somewhere else in 2012. :facepalm:

The last sentence that you omitted is the most damning for us:

At the same time, however, it'll be hard for Kansas State not to improve on defense.

This is why we're royally mumped for the foreseeable future.  It's almost statistically impossible not to improve to some extent.  "See!  We're getting better! Give it time."  :goodbyecruelworld:

Last year's team should not be the measuring stick...instead, it should be the team ranked 119th in rushing defense last year.
