What bowl game are we playing?

[MakeItRain]

What if I told you Avery is nearing bust territory

You'd be a colossal dipshit if you believed that a sophomore QB with 3,000+ yards of offense and 30+ TDs is a bust. Maybe take a look at Roberson's sophomore numbers or any other sophomore QB in school history.

Does Johnson have issues - absolutely. But he's far from a bust.

Why did we go for 2 on the prior TD?

Tom, I have no idea. One of the more baffling decisions I've ever seen

It’s some dumb crap teams are doing now when down 14 (or 17, 14 + fg) with the premise that 2-point conversions are 50/50 so go for it on td #1 and if you make it the other td gets the win instead of tie, and if you miss it you’ll get the next one b/c 50/50 and you’re even.

It’s dumb.

attorneys don't have to take math in college

I genuinely hope the KSU fans who get off on being miserable can allow themselves to enjoy this regardless of outcome

I don't. I hate that they get to be happy with everyone else.

Another fun fact:
Dylan Edwards scored 3 TD's in this bowl victory.  His dad scored a touchdown in Kstate's very first bowl victory...which was in this very same bowl, just by another name.

Man, that's a great stat, and I was there when Leon helped run it up vs Wyoming in the 93 Copper Bowl.

Wonder if this bowl gets as many eyes as the Pop Tart Bowl?

Not even close

I think we need to acknowledge this is not the first father son duo to accomplish this:

Kevin Lockett 93 Copper 1 TD
Tyler Lockett 13 BWW 3 TD

What a fun comeback!

I've certainly had some complaints and this year has been far from perfect. But, year No. 1 in your life of being an offensive play caller and this is what happens. Just underscores that we're all a bit silly with our expectations (see: Johnson, Avery).

That kind of a cherry picked stats presentation. We were at 2.45 ppd (45th nationally, 8th B12) heading into the bowl game. I dunno exactly where we are now.

You can dimish those stats (and that's fine), but they are not insignificant (particularly ypp). I'm certainly not effusive in praise of Riley, but if we had said at the beginning of the year that Riley would set those records with a true sophomore starting at QB, we would have been happy (also factroring in a 3 new starters on the OL as well).

I didn’t even notice the part about ypp and yor.

My takeaway from last night is we are built to be a team next year that runs the ball a crap ton. Two awesome running backs, a QB that runs better than throws, and Jayce Brown on Jet Sweep like Malik used to do.

For sure, but it's also insane this was the most TDs thrown by a kazzu catz QB ever in a season

Very nice game by the offense, and nice of the D to show up in the fourth quarter.

Really encouraging to see Dylan utilized in the slot more.  He’s probably the best home run threat running back we’ve ever had.

Avery has a long way to go to be as good as he can be, but that’s a good thing, because he was pretty darn good lastnight.  Even with the bad INT, he was making better decisions more consistently.

I think the use of Edwards was one of the more baffling things about this year. Like how many times did we run him on jet sweeps in B12 play? 5? Maybe even fewer?

[Purple Derpathy]

Glad to see Edwards getting utilized in that capacity. Was perfect play calling for his talents. He could have had another 50 receiving yards if not overthrown on the deep ball.

I still despise our play calling but it was nice to see us use a little tempo this game. Our sub 2 min offense continues to be trash, but that was a Snyder problem that CK decided to continue.

This offense can be scary if AJ can slow down the game and hit a deep ball on occasion. Hope we can keep J Brown....need someone returning at WR.

[Sandstone Outcropping]

I think this is very cool. Must be an awesome feeling for these dudes to re-unite with their HS coach on the sideline after winning a bowl game.

Man, Edwards was electric last night.
Is there a statute that states Giddens and Edwards could not be on the field at the same time during the regular season?

We don’t win that game if Giddens plays

Yeah they finally used Dylan more like they should. I love DJamer but they never changed of pace Dylan like they did last night

Avery does have imo a ways to go passing at least. So many times it seems he misses a very obviously open man in favor of a guy being converged on. Like perfect example was the two point conversion we actually did convert. Number 0 was wide the eff open early in the play but then he hits Oakley in the back. Yes it was a great play but Oakley was pretty well covered. the Peggy positives is it worked and was a great play, the negative Nancy is he missed a much easier opportunity. He needs to allow the play to develop and wait for the guy to get open, or keep looking for the wide open guy. His best play to me was the 4th down conversion to Cephas. He kept the play alive and allowed a guy to get open.

I'm sure this is all coachable and experience based it just sticks out to me how often he doesn't seem to find the obviously open guy.

I also say this with the he just threw more tds in a season that any other QB we've had. Maybe my standard is high.

A buddy texted the same thing to me last night.  At first I was like pffft but the more I thought about about it, the more sense it made.

[deputy dawg]

I think they saw something and thought they could catch Rutgers sleeping and then Rutgers cheated and for some reason they didn't switch to the kick

Actually, Schiano pulled off a close-to-cheating antic that saved Rutgers a TD.  I hope CK remembers to stop play when the opposing team is lining up more quickly than the Cats by claiming his headset isn't working.

eff Rutgers for going after the kneel downs. It’s the rate bowl. Maybe do it if you’re competing in the playoffs or for a giant breakfast pastry, but it’s a meaningless exhibition. Jersey trash
