Kansas State Football / Re: what if avery johnston is a complete badass??

I think Brock Huard said during the Hou game KSU only had 23 or 26 attempts longer than 20 yards all season.

That’s somewhere between 2.8-3.2 a game, which is pathetic. I was probably a bit zealous saying AJ’s play was soft, and tbh I think a lot of the frustration is due to how our OC is using him, including the extremely limited deep throw. He has a pretty deep ball.

He doesn’t have to be the archetypal KSU QB, and probably shouldn’t be with his slight frame. He’s really stoic and it would be nice to see some fire from time to time, but I guess that’s just not who he is.

Back to the OC, our offense just seems so unimaginative and boring. It’s the equivalent of a total bend but don’t break defense. Little, if any aggression and putting the defense on its heels.

This is what I've been seeing as well - who's the "Passion" guy and the "Enforcer" on the field for the offense.  It all just looks like another task to check off a To-Do list and move on to the next item.

This offense is Messingham 2.0, Klieman may have lucked into Collin Klein. The Athletes are there, the OC schemes for them to reach their full potential has not come to fruition this season. Collin should be brought back as HCIW and be given the opportunity to be the next 20+ year coach at KSU. Curious if he has NFL aspirations. Hope Chris just had the Flu when he got dizzy but if he knows he doesn't want to coach forever then make a plan for the future. Taylor Braet may have more to do with the wins than the current OC's.

I think we can all agree the OC experiment this year is a failure.

He refuses to adjust to other teams adjusting.

That was painful to watch, There has to be a change at OC next year whether an addition or subtraction. I just watched kstate continuously kick themselves in the D* because they kept hoping the next run up the middle was going to work like a degenerate hoping to win the powerball with his last $2.

Matt Wells is still riding the coat tails of Jordan Love, he needs to go back to a lower conference where you can get one player like an Ashton Jeanty and dominate inferior teams, it doesn't work in the P4 or he's too timid to tell Riley to go back to a line coach. That was 100% on the coaches and not the players.

Some salty taters in hurr.

After nearly 2 decades of discussion, rounds and rounds of fundraising, and 16 months of another steering committee it's underwhelming.  Looks like someone had a paper due at midnight and told a friend you'd go to the wheel for 1 beer at noon and stayed till 10:30. I'm guessing there will be many updates and the final product will be different in 2 years.

Hoping this isn't a Zenger move that did the same thing with the Stanford Stadium. It baffles me no one has a vision for the property other than a cut and paste of another universities stadium. Maybe it's KU's issue, maybe it's HNTB's issue.

my antivirus goes crazy when I click those

Its closer to SDSU in terms of the spikes, stadium layout (no big press box), decision not to "wrap" the stadium to cover the stands more extensively etc etc.

That said, I agree missed opportunity.

All I see is a TCU / HSK knockoff

I hope KU paid no more than $5k to the Intern that ripped off TCU's stadium or HSK Dallas reusing its previous project. I even tried to paste near carbon copy images from google. (Look it up, you can find near identical vantage points from available media)

It appears like a pseudo Ryan field update/ Wrigley field update south of Addison that people lambast about that doesn't fit the neighborhood.

Looks like a major missed opportunity.
