Is officially the dumbest coach in the nation. Cardinal sin of coaching, don't outsmart yourself. eff you for not letting Kline try and punch it in.

Snyder/Dimel/Miller regularly outsmart themselves, it's what they do.
Some of us are used to it.
Run wide, and get out out bounds if there's nothing there.
Oh well.

dumbfuck,
we just played to the last second (literally) with the #2 team in the country, and our qb/freshman wr look like heroes.

There's a reason you thought you should put OK in your name, it's because you're a rough ridin' loser. Only rough ridin' losers play to lose by a little bit. Meanwhile, the winners get paid and eff the prom queen. So shut the eff up, and be a loser quietly.

I was there near the endzone that Brian Kavanagh threw that interception that ruined the Cotton Bowl for us.
That play was rushed and none of our coaching staff thought about calling a timeout.
crap happens. :runaway:

should have run 1st and goal w/ 1 TO left. ohwell

exactly... no moral victories here, just some bad play calling.

I don't know how many seconds it actually took, but that fade to Lockett seemed like it took a long time.

Criticizing the play calling is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) in a game that was lost by a shithole defense.

Jesus.
They gave OSU 14 points early. Those might have been helpful at the end. :dunno:
Or, you spike the ball on first down, then try a run, since it's been so successful, while you still have your timeout in your pocket.
Instead, we rush a 7-second fade, try another fade, then run some crappy rollout.
:flush:

Being an apologist is pitiful no matter the events of the game. The right play call sets the Kats up for a win, period. Every play before that is meaningless.
-
Run our pass, it doesn't seem like we had a set of end-of-the-game-while-the-clock-is-running-out plays ready to go. eff that.

It's on pages 425-26 of the playbook, which were inadvertently left in Vanier by Shorty Kleinau.
-
We had one time out.
We passed the ball with 5 seconds because if we ran it without it resulting in a TD the game is over.
Criticize Klein for not running on the last play when the play broke down, but I don't see how the play calling itself cost us this game.
-
The plays were bad because they didn't work.
I likely would've ran the ball with 12 seconds left when we still had the timeout, but I don't think it was some horribly stupid decision to throw. If anything on the last play we had a miscommunication because neither reciever broke out into the corner of the endzone. I didn't mind the fade to Harper or Lockett honestly, we tried to get the ball to our 2 best recievers.
This was simply a TEAM loss, neither the defense nor the offense made enough plays to beat a team as talented as OSU, especially on the road.

How did we move the ball all game long? How did throwing the ball work out? It's not even a question of what they should have done. You have one play, 5 yards to go, you go with what works.

If I'm not mistaken we had our best passing game of the year. You can call it overthinking (maybe it is), but most coaches won't run there because of the risk. I likely would've run the ball on 2nd down after spiking it, but its not like throwing (nor the calls) were terrible.
-
I don't know how many seconds it actually took, but that fade to Lockett seemed like it took a long time.
yeah. it took 7 and i have to think that a fade route to a freshman receiver that isn't even six feet tall with the ball being thrown by collin klein probably wasn't the best choice in that situation. still got three plays which is all you could expect given the time left so it didn't really matter i guess. still painful. momentum. no time. fade to a 5 11" freshman. uggggh.

Picking up 5 yards with corners sitting back 5-10 yards and safeties sitting back 12-15 yards is a hell of lot easier than everybody pressing or within 5 yards of the LOS.

I blame tyson hartman and so should you.

seriously? a fade route that takes a lot of seconds off the clock to a freshman wide receiver that isn't even six feet tall when you have been gashing them on the run w/ a timeout still left and collin klein (like him a lot) is the one throwing the ball and you don't think it was a bad call?

I don't trust our players to run the ball and then call the timeout. They would have mumped something up.

hey numbnuts, we threw the ball better today than we had all year long. we moved the ball by being somewhat balanced for once. this loss cant be blamed on the offense or the defense but rather the fact that we arent as athletic as osu. if we were in the hay day of the dod we would have redshirted lockett. instead hes our best receiver... lack of talent is why we lost to a superior talented osu team.

Hey Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) piece of crap, this isn't about who lost the game, it's about how rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) the play calling was at the end of the game. It's not a rough ridin' difficult concept to grasp.
-
LHC Bill Snyder lost this game. 3 throws that close to the goal line is not our forte, and I don't see why we didn't run it at least once.

i think it's entirely possible that our best wide receiver hasn't played in the last five games and no one knows why.

Dude, I hear you. It's just a calculated risk with a handful of seconds on the clock. It definitely backfired.
As much as I may be upset over the failure to execute on those last two plays, it pales in comparison to the horrendous performance by the Tim Tibesar absurdity of a defense we witnessed tonight. That's what cost us the game.

I miss Brod.

On the other hand, take three throws and you'd like to think that we could convert one of them.
-
Criticizing the play calling at the end is fair, but it is no why we lost. I didn't neccesarily like any of the calls at all, but our defense is why we lost. You should be questioning why Cosh thought man coverage with no blitz was a good idea. THAT was entirely more stupid tha any play call at the end.

Collin Klein, 29 carries for 144 yards, 5.0 yards per carry average, and 3 rushing touchdowns. Any other stupid rough ridin' questions?

To be fair, Tibs (or last year's defense) would've gave up 700 yards.
We did an admirable job stopping OSU's running game (besides Randall's last run) and forcing them to beat us with the pass. Weeden and company are just good enough to beat us regardless.
-
If there was one stretch that sticks out to me as being where KSU lost the game it was after we got the pick-6 to go up by ten and promptly gave it all back. The end was desperation that nearly got us the win. I think I would have tried a run on 1st down with 12 sec left but that doesn't mean that passing 3 times isn't a bad option. You are giving yourself three chances to complete a 5-yard pass.
Sucks to see the Cats lose, would have been a great win.
edit: isn't a bad option

I would have liked to see a run with the time out left, and then a pass. However, we got 3 plays off. If we were gonna pass 3 times I might have tried a jump ball at the back of the end zone with our 6-8 TE at least once. Who knows man. I aint gonna hate though. We had 507 yards of offense to their 575. Our talent mismatch dictates we shouldn't have been within 21 points of that game. Should have fired Cosh and gotten a dynamic, young, d-coordinator who can recruit his ass off. Again, easier said then done, but we didn't even try to my knowledge.

Zim jumped the flag route with the best receiver in the nation streaking down the middle. It hurts your brain to just think about it.

i don't have an issue with passing three times. that's fine. eating up seven of the twelve seconds on a rough ridin' fade route to a freshman wide receiver that isn't even six feet tall on the first play of that possession was ridiculous. we were insanely, insanely lucky to get a third play out of that deal.

it was the best thing that could have happened to ksu in that situation. he makes that tackle then OSU runs out the clock and kicks a FG giving us no chance to get the ball back

what i was thinking. once they got in easy fg range, just let them score. its just hard to tell if he was really trying or not. lol.

We've blocked a lot of field goals though, and I wouldn't have been so pissed with that ending. We also had one TO so we could have made them kick off.

You are giving yourself three chances to complete a 5-yard pass.
Sucks to see the Cats lose, would have been a great win.
i don't have an issue with passing three times. that's fine. eating up seven of the twelve seconds on a rough ridin' fade route to a freshman wide receiver that isn't even six feet tall on the first play of that possession was ridiculous. we were insanely, insanely lucky to get a third play out of that deal.
yeah, i was expecting the fade to harper to be the last play but we got an extra second. still, the fade to lockett prob doesnt normally take 7 seconds so it all averages out.

White ks kids lost this game for us

Didn't have a huge problem with the last 3 plays, BUT I would have liked to have seen us run it on 1st, call time out, pass on 2nd, and then run again on 3rd down. I really think that would have been preferable to 3 straight passes and I think we would have scored.

Klein seems to always find a way to gain an extra two or three yards when he runs the ball, and OSU's defense couldn't contain his scrambling ability at all last night. I agree with the OP... this is a case where the coaching staff tried to get too cute with their play-calling at the end, and instead of calling a QB scramble (which had been working all night), they elected to try to "out-smart" Bill Young (OSU's d-coordinator) with a few passing plays.

lol. what play is the "qb scramble"

It's not really a scramble, but it's the play where Klein lines up in a Wildcat style package and basically plays RB.

agree. the one where Wilson and Hubert line up directly in front and to the right of Klien. just try and power forward and get a quick TO if you don't get in. from there you have a shorter field and if you get a 3rd down have a more viable run/pass option on the last play.
and if you are going to pass 3 times you might want to get your 6'8" TEs involved.

Klein also has success when K-State lines up in trips formation and allows him to roll out of the pocket and either pass or run. Either way, he should have had the chance to run it in last night from five yards out. All of you guys defending the play-calling at the end remind me of all the Bill Self nut-huggers on phog.net. No ability to think outside the box.

If we would have ran it and got stopped everyone would be screaming that we should have thrown it.

If the run doesn't work, you call a timeout and run the QB draw/play action to the TE/jump pass play.

Let's face it, our HOF head coach really mumped up the last 15 seconds

I guess my only complaint is that it didn't look like a controlled, set play. It was just a panicked, backyard football style play that lead to lots of confusion.
