The announcers didn't know until pregame? Damn Snyder plays it close to the vest. That sneaky bastard just opened up the playbook!

Klein!

Dude can run the ball pretty damn well but he looked like a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) on that pass "attempt."

We don't have a passing game with any of our QBs. At least Klein is a threat to run.

Believe me, I'm not complaining. Klein looks great so far. We'd be in trouble if we were down a few scores but his running ability adds a lot to our offense.

So does Klein start next week at Mizzou?

Bill Clarahan · « **Reply #9 on:** November 06, 2010, 09:05:12 PM »

Hey, I like this Cline youngster. Is he new?

jtksu · « **Reply #10 on:** November 06, 2010, 09:24:47 PM »

I don't see any reason to not start Calvin again next week.

Pendergast · « **Reply #11 on:** November 06, 2010, 09:26:13 PM »

If we get down by 7 then the love affair with Klein is over, and Coffman will seem like Montana.

jtksu · « **Reply #12 on:** November 06, 2010, 09:29:04 PM »

7 pts early in the game wouldn't be a huge deal. If it's 14+ or late in the game than Team CCQ will be justified in screaming for his return. Maybe some sort of qb-by-commitee type of thing?

are you giez rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)? You think we have a chance of being with in even 20 points at half if we have ZERO rough ridin' passing yards against mizzou? Tejas is redickulously bad tonight, but we need 200+ yards in the air to beat the Tiggers. But I"m trahsed right know, so who nos?

SleepFighter · « **Reply #14 on:** November 06, 2010, 09:45:28 PM »

If we throw a pass against the Tigers in the first half next week, I'm going to fire off several angry emails.

jtksu · « **Reply #15 on:** November 06, 2010, 09:47:56 PM »

We're not throwing the ball tonight because we have had zerp reason to. We've had the lead the entire game and we continue to move the ball on the ground. The reason UT won't have a chance to pull a KU tonight is because Snyder knows how to use a lead and the clock to his advantage.

purplepain · « **Reply #16 on:** November 06, 2010, 10:12:22 PM »

I don't give a crap if we pass the ball. I could see us losing this game with Coffman in. Klein gives us so many advantages in the red zone. Texas has had to respect Klein's running all night long. He doesn't even need to pass because he actually poses a threat in at least one facet of the game , and that is more than Coffman. We don't score half of these red zone td's without Klein in the first half. It has been so obvious all season long that Coffman is too slow and timid to pose a threat in the run game, therefore the defenses just pin their ears back with pressure to stop Thomas and give Coffman no time to pass. Teams can't do this against Klein because that pressure could result in a huge play.

When I saw that Klien was starting I got excited, because I knew we had a good chance to win.

None of tonight has anything to do with Klein's ability on the field.

Klein's ability to run the ball against elite talent tonight has nothing to do with his ability on the field.

purplepain · « **Reply #20 on:** November 06, 2010, 10:22:23 PM »

Yeah, it does. Klein can run. Coffman would have been tackled in the back field on half of those plays. That is what happens when you put an athlete on the field.

Please note that I was responding to doom.

If we are only going to throw 2 passes per game, then why don't we just play Daniel Thomas at QB and William Powell at RB? Daniel Thomas has shown better passing ability this year than Colin Klein.

purplepain · « **Reply #22 on:** November 06, 2010, 10:46:26 PM »

Actually, we tried this last game and it was working good. I do think Klein is a pretty good runner, though. He is fairly impressive running the ball. I think the big thing is to just have an athlete on the field at quarterback.

jtksu · « **Reply #23 on:** November 06, 2010, 10:47:03 PM »

Well, NutsKicked is clearly an idiot, so I move to have his post stricken from the thread.

Interception on his last pass.

Klein was the ultimate game manager.
