Look I am not going to say this was a dominant performance but really?

Which other team in the conference had a 16 year home winning streak on us? And comparing the Purple Wizard to Tulsa? Laughable. And ridiculously disrespectful.

Is this your first year watching this K-State series? Because this game was absolutely typical except for the ending.

I mean you would think we were Alabama and expected to win this by 50 with all the comments about this game from some people. You would never think we were a struggling program coming off losing seasons trying to beat a traditional nemesis.

Yep got two monkeys off our back in consecutive weeks.

Offensive points scored against Kansas State defense - West Virginia - 35, Miss State - 31, South Dakota Coyotes - 24, UTSA - 17, The fighting Sam Ehlinger's - 10.

That second half was ugly as fuck but this team did what they needed to do to win in the fourth. 5 points is also our biggest win ever in Manhattan. I'm happy

Fuck OU

[BigVegasHorn26 630]

This game was all about survival.  Mission accomplished.  Bring on OU.  

[LTtxfan 49170]

SIAP...

But after Maryland loss....

So happy with 4 Consecutive Victories over

1) Tulsa

2) USC

3) TCU

4) Kansas State on the road in Manhattan, KS

HOOK'EM

Fuck it. I’ll take it. All bitchin’ should cease. Now let’s all go to Dallas and the Cotton Bowl drink a Bloody Mary eats a corn dog and beat the meth head dirt burgling cheatin ass land thieves.

[dad 557]

Props to Herman for using Ingram down the stretch.

Very wise. He could have went with Watson due to “experience” like he has before but made the right call.

[Gut Wagon 8065]

If we had enough depth and gumption to run tempo most of the game, we’d ramp up our scoring a lot. But we don’t...yet.

Thanks, I asked the question earlier a couple of times without an answer.

OU will target Locke and Boyd as if its Rileys last game. 

Murray is going to have a fucking field day with Boyd if he plays like he did today.  He was fucking burnt repeatedly by slow ass, no-name KStaters w/ their backup QB.

[Tx_2_Sc85 332]

The offensive staff doesn’t trust Sam yet. They're calling plays to avoid Sam’s big mistakes. This really kept the game close today...well that and TO blitzed KState back into the game. 

[Mossyhorn 143]

I now take my crow...

I believed we had a great shot to start 1-5. Yet here we are, 4-1, & a decent chance in Dallas. 

Lots of players & coaches contributed to 4-1, but hats off to Herman & Sam. Shame on me for not believing.

Hook ‘em.

If I had to guess, he was trying to save him for OU off that injury, but realized we needed him to ice the Wizard

So, the Wizard May have cost them the game by overriding their OC?

He is far and away the best RB on the team. Watson is ok but Ingram has the vision and the ability to make himself small  when hitting the los. Yea he makes some boneheaded plays but you gotta live with the freshman mistakes. He doesn’t appear very explosive but that might be because of the injury. 

[MillerEP 30454]

Tom Herman kinda calling out the PI flags.

By this definition, OU just destroyed Baylor with their backup QB.

Thompson has pretty much been K-State's starting QB all season, but Delton's gotten some snaps here and there.

I think he's still a little gimpy

That jet sweep has never worked for us. Don't understand why our meathead coaches keep calling it. That was the exact point we let KSU back in the game.

[Bone3421 716]

Well we broke the streak....win is a win but not liking the 0 pts after half

[JBJ 3654]

That one KState player in the black stripes killed us all game.

The team grew and learned a few things today. We've got a solid shot against OU, but we need to step it up another notch.
 

I'd really like to win a game without depending on special teams or defensive TD's...we really don't have a lot of wins where we straight up outscore the other team on offense.

Defense and special teams are part of the game. Fuck if I care if we score 10 TD's on D. Fucking win

You have to mix it in occasionally for this offense to work.

My bad.  Still, this is a horrid KState team and neither QB is worth a shit. 

Boyd needs to figure it the fuck out before next Saturday.

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

If the book wasn’t already to make Sam complete passes on 3rd down, it will be now. 

8-14 conversion isn’t bad, but he had some bad misses in the second half to kill drives in a game where drives were limited. 

[The Golden Hat 299]

 

[Tired of Lurking 637]

It's crazy to be so disappointed by our lackluster performance today when the defense only gave up 200 yards. Heh.

This team has SO much potential. Just wish we can put it all together for four quarters and blow someone the fuck out. Would really be nice for that to be against ou.

[Hanrahan 1306]

Herman needs to reinvent the wheel on offense. Same fucking 4 plays over and over at the end there was miserable. Bubble, dive, rb bubble, slant

Maybe you could do a better job. Shame you’re not calling plays.

[Xcalibur 546]

On the real though, fuck OU.  We are the best team they will have played all season.  Their defense sucks, we will be able to score.  Our defense is good, we can limit their points. Fuck OU.

[Irwin F Fletcher 3550]

Hook'Em! Nice win on the road. Fuck the haters. It's 6:27 & OU still sucks!

Alternatively, I hope they just keep finding ways to win. I agree there is so much potential for this team and when they do put it together and see what they can do, they will destroy anyone in front of them. For now though, let's just keep winning any way we can.

A win over the Purple Wizard in the road is good: it is known.

[Stunns38 3460]

Andrew Beck had some nice catches today but hopefully we use our more athletic TEs next week. He’s a good blocker but runs with concrete cleats.

Let us not forget Jamison loosing his fucking mind on the already stupid jet sweep call. 

Is this why Jamison was no longer returning punts?  Jones was back there mostly.

This.  No elusiveness and runs too long in the same place.

According to Coach, Jones is the PR on the "safe" return team, which they use when they have a lead and are fielding a punt near the goal line. He says Jones makes better veteran decisions on when and not to call a fair catch. It makes sense.
