Ok. this is amazing.
No one knows THE DEFENSE??? Shouldn't like AT LEAST 55% to 60% of these guys already know this system inside and out since, you know, THEY PLAYED UNDER IT? Some of them for several years. How is the D being unfamiliar with Elko's system even remotely possible?
The offense, I sort of get. The K-State O is not terribly complicated but it's at least new and like nothing any of these players have ever seen. And that's with the objective fact that they don't have more than 3 or 4 (if that) of the type of players they ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO HAVE to run it properly. Their OL is a walking woodchipper for A&M QBs and RBs. Klein might actually get Weigman killed on the field this season. Moss and Owens seem... unstable/unbalanced and HIGHLY likely to average like 2.5 ypc behind that shitshow OL. When that starts to happen, a transfer or two would not shock me in the least (unless they have to bring out MORE huge money to keep one or both of them).
I'm also kind of hoping for a LOT of QB power calls - 6-12 per game - behind that absolutely putrid OL. It's not that I WANT to see Weigman get hurt. I just know that him being seriously injured in that offense is basically inevitable and it's going to drag the Aggies down into the deepest depths of despair since the Kyle/Kyler/Kylest incident and our SEC announcement. So let's just get it out of the way early so we can enjoy the misery as long as possible. You could also call it morbid curiousity about how many hard hits he can take running that play. I've got the over under at 5.5.
Then again, maybe it isn't impossible at all for the players to know about either system thus far, Elko. Maybe, just maybe, the team you've inherited (the 53% or so that didn't transfer as fast and as far as they could when you got there, anyway) and then "rebuilt" using second, third, and even fourth rate castoffs... excuse me! I meant to say "highly touted transfers from low end P5 teams, G5 universities, and DII schools." Anyway, maybe this team that you've put all your time, effort, and "talent" into building just sucks complete ass. Maybe they won't ever be ready to compete with anyone decent in their current form no matter what system you employ.
In fact, maybe it would be better to just nut up and let Moose Muhammad run the wishbone as QB with Moss and Owens as the backs, Amari Daniels as the FB, an Donovan Green and Noah Thomas as X and Y/the TEs/the WRs/whatever you want to call them. It still wouldn't work but at least Weigman would get to live to see 32 and it might be kind of fun to watch. Plus, it kind of worked for Georgia Tech and you all have SUCH AMAZING, INCREDIBLE TOP 4 5 6 talent, you're guaranteed to pull it off. If nothing else, I'd at least tune in to watch someone run the bone again, just like I used to with GT and some of the service academies.
