SFSD edition:
- How does K-State rebound from very tough, emotional loss? (Stan basically recaps OU game, which was not the question, then....). Definitely painful, but Snyder will focus on improvement made in the game...not on the pain. But, Snyder is tired of losing and there's a lot up in the air. If play well tomorrow, can then point back to OU game for maybe where things turned around.
- How about Barnes not getting more carries? Yes, on surface, not enough runs. But, you get into the strategy of the game and how well Mike knows our offense, it's a chess match. I don't care who runs the ball when you rush for 270 yards in the first half. Scoring 35 points against OU and it's hard to spend too much time arguing over who should be running the ball. Snyder will handle very quickly. He'll will have went and talked to Barnes immediately about situation. Bottom line, the production was there.
- Sunflower showdown....KU is struggling so much and K-State has dominated series....how will Snyder get guys to not overlook KU? He'll motivate them by reminding them how much they need to improve. He'll show them some film of the WVU game where KU played a good first half. And, he'll remind them of the streak and how it needs to continue.
- Prediction? Well there are 49 players from KS on KSU, 23 on KU. 38-13 K-State.
(John Kirby recap)
- KU has been able to pull some upsets in past, but has always struggled against K-State. How do you explain? (1) K-State has just been better and (2) Snyder's biggest game is against KU and KU's biggest game was MU (yes, he said it). Snyder has always gotten up for the game more.
- But, KU does have a mental block when they see those K-State uniforms.
- When trying to rebuild team and then you have performance like TCU, how does beatty motivate? Defense is starting to show some signs, so you start there. They've played real well last couple weeks. Offensive line is really where the struggles are. Lots of shuffling and there's no consistency. They are learning on the fly.
- Beatty has said he looks at Snyder for how to build a program. How does what he's going through compare to early Snyder's years? Really not much different than what Mason did or what Mangino did.....maybe more like Mason's situation. So, it hasn't been easy, but you hope to see progress. There was last year, but not so much yet this year.
- Daniel Wise calling people out for their effort....how will that impact team? I don't think it was that bad. I was sitting right there. Body language not that bad.....didn't sound as bad as actual quote when you just read it.
- Prediction? 31-14 K-State.
