Now is not the time to get a rational post from a true Cats fan. I can’t wait to see what Sky looks like with a full offseason and some swagger. I hope the bowl game just stokes my hopes instead of crushing them.

Watching him move up and side to side in the pocket is beautiful.

He finished the season like my all time guy Sisco did. We better get rid of the QB run game and use our 17,000 running backs or he's gonna face a similar ending fate.

I guess we could abandon our offensive identity and start anew.  Why not?

100% truth from MIR. Let’s build an offense around the RS Freshman. This could be a great moment in Cats history.

PS - I am not being sarcastic at all. If Dimel is not up to the task he should be gone. I don’t care if this is Snyder’s last it second to last or whatever year.

We're gonna have to. Just watched the KSO postgame and Thompson said he's been hurt the last two games. They're going to ruin him.

At least move more toward the Waters version. Shouldn't be that hard.

His pocket presence is just ungodly for a RS FR for a K-State QB.  Most RS FR/FR QB's would typically would look at the defender and not look down the field.  Plus he feels pressure, he steps up, and makes the throw.

That's the kind of stuff you just can't teach.  You either have it or you don't.

You can absolutely teach that kind of stuff. I don't think our coaches are good at it, but it can be done.

Pringle ran a slant on the last play.

The waters version still had him running it 154 times in 2014, good enough for 7th in the Big12 in rushing attempts.  :frown:

They need to move to the Chad May version. May was slow, but ran some here and there for a wrinkle. Good running back. Threw it all over the place. That was fun.

We are going to QB run, but I'd like to see 5-8 called QB runs per game.

Yeah, less that 10 at least. Also maybe out of the bootleg since he's already good at moving to the side.

he really didn't. how many last second, clutch drives did sisco lead? ertz is a good dude, but we didn't put him in a position to succeed, and his body gave out on him, and he actually wasn't that good. it wasn't his fault, but sky is better and i don't think respecting ertz and his efforts and thinking sky is better are mutually exclusive thoughts to have.

I was referring to last season, we didn't have fourth quarter comebacks because we kicked the crap out of everyone to finish last season.

This year in winning 4 of our last 5, we beat 1-11 KU, 6-6 Tech, 9-3 OSU, and 7-5 ISU.

Last year in winning 5 of our last 6, we beat 5-7 UT, 3-9 ISU, 6-6 Baylor, 2-10 KU, 6-6 TCU.

Last year's team finished with a worse offense and special teams, but better defense.

Thompson impacted each of this year's last 3 wins over bowl teams in dramatic fashion.

This stat seems crazy to me.  Maybe the Vandy/TCU/ISU games have skewed my perception.

Oops, I typed that wrong.

It should say last year had a better offense (by about 20 teams in the rating), better defense (by about 20) and worse special teams (by about 30).

Love the ability to keep play alive, but IMO, also needs to realize when to throw it away. Seems there was an few times where he took a sack or ran for a yard when the best option was to get rid of it. Sure this will come with experience.

total points scored in regulation (including def and ST scores) with each opponent's defense ranking listed:

55 vs #113 charlotte
45 vs #43 osu
35 vs #51 ttu
35 vs #47 ou
33 vs #111 baylor
30 vs #112 ku
27 vs #9 ut
23 vs #95 wvu
20 vs #23 isu
7 vs #78 vandy
6 vs #3 tcu

this doesn't tell the whole story but obviously west virginia and vanderbilt jump out as hugely disappointing scoring performances

these were the scoring totals vandy gave up in SEC play (avert your eyes if you are squeamish):

59
38
45
57
34
44
