RE: K-State game thread - Softball Fan - 09-04-2021
Did anyone pick Stanford to score zero points? Maybe they score a touchdown on an interception?
RE: K-State game thread - Row80Critic - 09-04-2021
Tough to watch for sure. That graphic of McKee, lined up with Trevor Lawrence and JT Daniels, came across like an ad for recruits not to pick Stanford. :(
RE: K-State game thread - ADPinWDC - 09-04-2021
Yeah -- agree with consensus here on the First Half.
1) Stanford NOT READY, and that's not the 9am PT Kickoff. What did our coaches do for three weeks?
Why don't they cut the playbook in HALF, and do 8 or 10 plays well?
2) Agree, other than Booker up front, and Kelly's heroics on the INT -- the Defense looks lost.
The Safeties seem clueless. We cannot rush 3 on Thompson and give him 5-8 seconds to scramble for an open guy.
3) Agree the Blitz called on third down left the middle WIDE OPEN for Vaughn on the TD,
but DT Ryan Johnson (#23) has to dive left into the hole and force the play right into the Blitz. That didn't happen.
4) K-State is VERY Aggressive on Defense, with quick strong Safeties and our Coaches prepared for AVERAGE.
So our O-Line is getting over-whelmed. I think the RBs have gotten as much out of a play as is there.
5) Totally agree with consensus here that T.McKee > J.West. Much more upside. Let him play.
I think Shaw gave West a fair shot. West lacks the confidence against a talented, quick secondary.
In H.S. McKee played against ELITE SoCal high schools with NCAA level talent.
At this point there is NOTHING to lose: Let McKee sling it. Open up the Offense and throw underneath, run draws, screens, flares.
Go get Casey Filikins into the mix as a slot back.

Tough to find much positive to say about the first half. Kelly's interception was about it.
Run game big, big disappointment. It was supposed to be the strength of the team and hasn't done anything.
I'd go with McKee; he looks like the better prospect even though he didn't exactly shine in the first half.

Think of how unimaginative our O play calling was in H1. Compare that with KSU's. Then think of who our O coordinator is: Tavita Pritchard. I never expect any imaginative play calls or strategy from him. A thoroughly abysmal first half. And we're no closer to having a #1 QB. All is proceeding according to script. Same old predictability, stubbornness, and unpreparedness. I also have a feeling that neither of our QBs has had proper mechanics drilled into him. Too many errant throws from McKee and too much flinging while falling backward from West. Who is our QB coach? Is it Pritchard?

Right now, we can't, and behind by 14 we aren't really trying to do so. That isn't going to work. While the QB play isn't good, the lack of a run game is worse and more unexpected IMHO.
This. Without a run game, it doesn’t matter who the QB is or how good the play calls are.

They practice against a 3-4. Our 3-4.
RE: K-State game thread - ADPinWDC - 09-04-2021
Hey, McKee to Humphries !! For 30 yards down the sideline. More of dat!
Perfect throw. Nice grab.
RE: K-State game thread - Phogge - 09-04-2021
A delay. I thought it would come on the game’s first series.
Then a timeout.
Nothing has changed.
Another TO. LOL.

How true, how pathetic.
It's imperative that we score on this drive to have any chance, however remote, of pulling this out.
RE: K-State game thread - stupac2 - 09-04-2021
This team cannot run screens to save its life. Holy crap.
RE: K-State game thread - PVTree - 09-04-2021
They rush 3 and sack our QB.... Pathetic!
RE: K-State game thread - MV72018 - 09-04-2021
Is a more pathetic O line pass blocking conceivable?
RE: K-State game thread - Phogge - 09-04-2021
Wondering why this game is not about 42-0 right now.
RE: K-State game thread - MV72018 - 09-04-2021
I'm going to do something more productive and less masochistic than watch a David Shaw-coached team self-destruct.
Those two spent TOs and the poor pass blocking are indicative of how unprepared we are.

Stanford is chewing up the clock. 25 min to 13. Not many possessions for K-State.
RE: K-State game thread - MV72018 - 09-04-2021
How about grading the coaches so far?
RE: K-State game thread - old spanish trail - 09-04-2021
Bring back Carberry?

I would prefer that we chew up the scoreboard than the clock...
RE: K-State game thread - stupac2 - 09-04-2021
I'm starting to wonder if the 9AM body-clock thing has become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
