Default K-State, holy crap.

Man, we were terrible. We were VERY lucky to hang on to get the W. Thank god we have a week off to work on some of our problems, and then HOPEFULLY we will have another "tune-up" vs North Texas on the 24th. Then we go to Norman to face a 1-2 OU team.

FTR, it was an awesome game. An emotional rollercoaster. Marshall fans were awesome. Huntington is a pretty cool town. I'm still tired of driving.

If OU continues to rely on Adrian Peterson to carry the load, they will suck. Paul Thompson or Rhett Bomar will have to get better, quickly.

Their defense sucks too.

Will UCLA be favored this saturday?

UCLA is favored by seven.

Allen Webb = Rhett Bomar

KSU defense = OU Defense

Saul = not much room to citicize.

Oh yeah..Thomas Clayton = Adrian Peterson

Should be a good game then, right? Snyder and Stoops always have close games (except one). Looking forward to it.

Sure thing...? umm..okay??

A game of two struggling teams should be outstanding! Really though....Snyder and Stoops always have good games, it should be good. Hopefully we can go into Texas with only one loss, but who am I kidding !!!

You aren't kidding about that. I thought it was over when Marshall was in field goal range. They decided to go to the well one more time and we hung on. That offensive line HAS to get better.

I thought the O-Line has been decent. Good pass protection (IMO), and Thomas Clayton is 3rd in the nation in Rushing yards, 1st in the Big XII. That is partly attributed to the o-line excecuting well.

HOWEVER, last week the playcalling was just horrendous in the 2nd half.

The headphones went out during the game and they went with partial communication by phone and walkie-talkies. I'm not sure if Marshall was made to take their headphones off, as well. They should have, but it didn't sound like a request was made.

I'm just glad we get a week off. Its the same kind of **** as last year...we just need a CONSISTENT effort out of our team for the entire game. We took our foot off their throats, and paid for it. If our offense was clicking like it was at 21-10 the entire game, it would have been a blowout.

I don't think this team is very well conditioned either, FWIW.

Jamario Thomas is a real good RB, he was the forgotten guy when talking about the true freshman impact players of last year, but he is a real good one.

They'll rely on him to carry the load on offense, just watch out.

We played them last year. They were definately rebuilding. They have a scary running game though.

Don't forget Cobbs, the RB that was hurt last year. In 2003 he lead the country in rushing, last year Williams lead the country in rushing (YPG)
