AmIRite? Our linebackers are depressingly slow....it's a major problem. Not going to mention that Roberts' pillowy soft coverage was good for ten yards a play for NDSU

they are as bad as most people thought they would be. but most people thought they would be pretty awful.

You would have hoped that the redshirt year paid off for him

Last night showed what happens when you don't have an elite linebacker who can come through in the clutch. Based on what I saw last night I question whether any of the three starting linebackers would be starting anywhere else in the BigXII. Their tackling was poor, they don't possess great speed, and their ability to pursue into gaps was poor. Time will tell but this first game is a bad sign if you ask me.

he's like 35 years old. the fact that he has never really seen the field in all that time should have probably clued everyone into his suckiness.

Practicing against our PUD offense ain't gonna make em any better either

Not that stars matter, but hopefully we can get a five star to transfer next season to be the best player on our defense.

These two names ring a bell? Martrell Spaight and Jeff Luc? Missing on these two guys has proven itself to be significant. Luc is starting at Cincy and Spaight at Arkansas. Having these two would have helped out our linebacker play threefold.

We didn't have a scholarship for Luc, remember!

Missing out on Spaight was no big deal, he was just one player!

Bill mentioned that all of his kids graduated from K-State, because they wanted to go to K-State . . . or because they got free tuition at K-State. Between Sean Snyder and LHC Bill Snyder they make about $3 million dollars a year, so why is Tate on scholarship when we "didn't have a scholarship left" for Luc?

Slaughter on pace for 24 sacks this year!!!!

We should move Travis Green to LB. He is significantly faster than anyone there and roughly the size of Jonathan Truman. We don't need the depth at safety.

I was thinking we should load Zimmerman up on roids and put him at LB.

Just a fyi, but zims was dogshit last night too. Both td passes were on or over him. The Tetuan-Watts syndrome strikes again.

One player who is significantly faster than our starting linebackers. One player who can close in on holes to help stuff the run. One player who possesses the athleticism and hip movement needed at linebacker in today's game. Just one player?...lmao.

Something worth trying. Green and Dakorey Johnson are both faster than Slaughter and Truman for sure.

If you're not Zims (not his best game), Evans, or Britz then GTFO

Everyone not dumb knew the defense would be horrible. Not everyone knew the o line would be owned by a fcs school.
