Title: I was encouraged. If you were encouraged, go ahead and tell us why.
Post by: Cartierfor3 on October 12, 2013, 06:37:03 PM
1. Hubert ran well
2. We got pressure on the QB
3. Good special teams play! (I like the high kickoffs)
4. Took advantage of mistakes
5. Our O-Line protected better than they have all year, including UMass
6. Sams ran well (ok like amazingly well)
7. MUELLER

That's just a short list of things I liked. Listen, the season is crap. A win would've been really fun, but whatever. I'm ok with this season being about the process over results at this point. We've improved every week in my opinion and were able to withstand adversity. Our D really did play well. 35 is probably Baylor's low number for the year.

Sams still took the most snaps (even if he doesn't know how to win games yet)

Waters didn't turn it over

Mueller!

Toe caught some passes

The O-line played pretty damn well

We controlled the effing clock!

Feels like 2001 to me. This team just isn't making enough plays, we've had 4th quarter leads in 3 of our losses. I think they can recover and get to 6-6, maybe 7-5.

This brings me back to the "luck" arguments of 2011.  I wonder if the people who said it was all coaching that year will blame the coaching this year?  Or is it all bad luck now?

I was encouraged! Sams is really good and will only get better. 199 yards rushing is a lot! Hubes ran well. D looked better than they have and Mueller is obviously an enormous stud. Punter had some nice kicks.

I think we were extremely lucky in 2011 and in the flip side of things this year. I don't think the coaching is significantly different this year other than playing the wrong qb for a few games.

I think if we had played the correct QB from day one, some of our close losses would have been easy wins, so we are more stupid than unlucky.

I may be completely wrong, but I think CK rubbed off a lot on Sams. Klein was probably the most patient runner I've ever seen and Sams is also very patient for someone that can just take off at any second. Sitting behind Klein for a couple years was probably one of the best things we could have hoped for with Sams. I don't think his in-between tackle run game would be what it is without Klein running for two years in front of him.

I was happy about a lot of things that have been fixed.  But the most fantastic of penalties again.  15 yarder on Evens TD, holding on Gronk on 2nd 2 when we get a first, turned into a 3rd and long, which turned into a missed field goal....but super excited about everything.  Effing moral victories

I was afraid that this team might give up, but after their play today and after reading the quotes, I have been strongly encouraged by their strong mentality, I think the team as a whole has really taken on the following goals well:
Goal #4: Improve. Everyday...as a player, person, and student.
Goal #10: Never give up.
Goal #11: Don't accept losing.  If you do so one time, it will be easy to do so for the rest of your life.
Goal #13: Expect to win. And truly believe we will.

On being a starting quarterback…
“It has been a journey, and one that God has played a huge role in. That is why I am so happy right now. I have waited four years for this. I have waited four years to be a part of this family and contribute. As a backup quarterback, you cannot contribute that much and it can kind of weigh on you a little bit.  That is why it is a team game, and you have got to love it.”

We just got out god squaded. Losing Klein hurts.

I mean, you look at those numbers alone and know that Sams and Hubert combined for 45 carries and there really shouldn't be any way to lose.

And then you look at Baylor's 15.8 YPA.

We run the table

I think it goes without saying, but if we play that well the rest of the season we'll go either 6-0 or 5-1 in the 2nd half of the season.

- Baylor isn't exactly Bama, but our OL was dominant for most of the game.
- Our schedule eases up...Our toughest 3 B12 games are behind us.
- Even though things haven't gone well it looks like everyone still gives an eff.
- We should get TLBL and TT back by the next game.
- Emerging All Big 12 Defensive End Ryan Mueller

I'm sure someone will start a Coal Aggie thread soon, but WV may be in for a 2009 A&M-like beating in 2 weeks.

- We should get TLBL and TT back by the next game.
- Emerging All Big 12 Defensive End Ryan Mueller

I'm sure someone will start a Coal Aggie thread soon, but WV may be in for a 2009 A&M-like beating in 2 weeks.

The offensive line was fantastic, though I need to rewatch to confirm. Some nice wrinkles in our run game as well.

Yes.  When we just line up and run they seemed to do well.  My perception is that they widened their splits a little. 

What was glaring is how shitty Gronk and every other H-back/Fullback is at blocking.  They are just god rough ridin' awful.  Same with the TE's.

Yes, I think Gronk and McDonald are getting better, but not near where Wilson and Tannahill were last year.

We run the table

I think it goes without saying, but if we play that well the rest of the season we'll go either 6-0 or 5-1 in the 2nd half of the season.

- Baylor isn't exactly Bama, but our OL was dominant for most of the game.
- Our schedule eases up...Our toughest 3 B12 games are behind us.
- Even though things haven't gone well it looks like everyone still gives an eff.

Gronk's holding on 2nd & 2 was one of the biggest plays of the game. Completely killed that drive. Good form tackle, tho.

Sams got most of the snaps two games in a row.
every time waters is in the game I just can't bring myself to give a crap what happens. sams is such a better fit and every snap waters takes is one less snap sams gets to gain experience for the next 2 years. as long as waters continues to take significant snaps, this entire season can go eff itself.

I thought Gronk played pretty dreadfully yesterday.  The hold was the cherry on top of an otherwise horrible blocking performance on that drive by the Gronkman.  If we're going to utilize a fullback/hback, then he needs to block better than gronk did yesterday.

That replay was not very flattering for him. So I decided he sucked.

Oh, but I was encouraged. Best offense since 1930 and we hold the ball for 40 minutes, cut their average in half, and are a few unforced errors away from winning. Agree that it feels 2001y for than 2004y.

And my god our guy Daniel is such a treat and also his mom retweeted my offer to donate him a shoulder, so that was a personal highlight for this guy.

I was impressed with your kids effort and with the quality of your O Line and D Line...  Obviously your guys played very well and you got Baylor's C game....  Congratulations on a very fine effort...  There are still many games left that you will win...  See you next year in best College Football only stadium in the Country...

Lol.  Yeah, I'm sure they were just completely overlooking their first road game against the defending Big 12 champs because they have ISU next week. Bring some better game, you rough ridin' dumbass.

Five wins and Baylor fans' inner Cornhusker comes out

Baylor typically plays bad on the road. I watched some of the game and they looked like they were just going through the motions.

1.  The defense forced five turnovers
2.  Jacorey Shepherd's pick six
3.  Jimmay Mundine's 27-yard TD scamper

I was encouraged.  Losing again was horrid, but both as a stand-alone and in context of the season Saturday was a positive in a lot of ways.  I'm now convinced that this team will go bowling, I was convinced otherwise after the Texas game.  Oklahoma State was a surprised.  Baylor went about as I thought it would, with the end being a toss-up.

The group that makes up a majority of players on this team are going to win a lot of football games in their time at KSU.

Ever since we had the walkout thread for relief pitchers, I still think about Cheap Trick playing "I WANT YOU TO WANT ME" (Live version) every time Sams runs out onto the field. It was encouraging that I still thought about that when I watched the game.
Could somebody make a video of Sams doing all sorts of Sams things with that as the background music? Maybe Snyder loves Cheap Trick and this could sway him.
