also we let Sproles learn to field punts his sr year.  it sucked to watch as a fan at the time but was proved to be the right call in the long run.

Darren went on to record the 6th most all purpose yards in the history of the NFL and the punts he dropped and misplayed in 04 did not really matter because the Defense was a disaster.

I'd take DT over Deuce. I SAID WHAT I SAID!

If he had played 3 years, I think that'd be a near unanimous opinion

I don't think so, man. I'll give Deuce the edge because of his pass catching and return prowess DT was great, but is there anything at all that he did better than Deuce? I think y'all are giving Deuce short guy demerits.

Kinda crazy how sproles achieved god-tier status his junior year and then his senior year honestly kinda sucked. Or at the very least it didn’t come anywhere close to equaling what he did as a jr, let alone building on it.

If memory serves I think he was the preseason front runner for the heisman and was completely out of the conversation before the end of September. We were also incredibly bad his senior year so that all makes perfect sense.

This usually happens to RBs when the OL is dog crap.
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

DT turned 2 yard gains into hard-fought 6 yard gains, Deuce turned 2 yard losses into ridiculous touchdowns

Wasn't he the biggest RB besides fat Hall on LHCBS teams?

Having a Roberson in the backfield is a hell of an advantage

The offensive line was also completely rebuilt and was ass. Those '04 and '05 teams were terrible, far worse than his team in '18.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

3rd and short, I trust DT to get the first down more than Deuce. I would also take DT late game with the lead, trying to kill the clock. Any other situation, I would rather have Deuce.

DT also was good at running the Wildcat. Deuce got Messingham fired running it against UT.

Great season. I don't think he'll get a great draft grade but I also don't think he feels like he's enamored with college football.

I don’t know if his enamored by much at all, except maybe fishing. I love him, and would love for him to to come back another year and maybe hone his pass pro a bit more, but going to the league is totally reasonable. I wonder how much he’s getting in NIL.

Also, the fact that we’ve only found a way to scheme him 7 rushing touchdowns this season chaps my ass.

I will say, identifying him and developing him is like, my favorite thing about k-state and being a k-state fan. It's not like everyone was lining up to sign him. Pretty awesome crap.
