Kansas State Destroys Texas A&M 62-14

From our SBN colleagues at Bring On The Cats:

If I told you three weeks ago that three games into the conference season, KSU would be first place in the North, would you have believed me? Especially if I told you that in one of those three games, KSU would lose a game by fifty-two points?

Probably not.

However, due to the cripple fight that is the North division, KSU stands alone on top of the conference standings, and the supposed "powers" (and I use that term loosely) all sit at either 1-1 or 0-2. Granted, it's early in the conference season, and things can change during any given week, but right now, KSU looks to be sitting in good shape considering that three of their four remaining home games against the North teams are in the comfy confines of "The Bill". Also, KSU got that priceless "South win" that only teams who play the recently neutered Baylor Bears seem to get.

But that's enough putting the cart ahead of the horse. In the meantime, all Wildcat fans can rejoice over the 62-14 win over Texas A&M, and Aggie fans can finally come to the realization that Mike Sherman is an awful football coach.

KSU impressed in almost every single facet of the game Saturday night, and their domination at the line of scrimmage, on defense, and in special teams was matched only by the cruel efficiency in the way the Kansas State offense, especially Daniel Thomas, found a way to put the ball in the end zone. Honestly, it was the kind of game you dream of having as a coach; you ask your team to create turnovers (A&M had five to KSU's zero), score points off of those mistakes, and make the other team easy to defend by making them one dimensional (A&M had -13 yards rushing). When Coach Snyder and his staff look at the tape, I'm sure they'll have some things to critique (a couple of A&M touchdowns in the second half are good film to break down), but most likely, they'll look at the tape and say, "Well, uh, good job. That's kind of what we're looking for."

It would be great to have a program that gets better as the season moves along.

GO BRUINS.

Good news for us I guess

That win looks a little better. Our D likes to think that they carry the team. Well it’s high time they started actually doing it, and there’s no doubt that they will need to improve if they have designs on carrying anything, both in terms of scheming and fundamentals like pursuit and tackling.

Bill Snyder is one of the best coaches out there. He built a program from nothing and continues to win without all those 5 stars that other programs get. Plus, can’t believe how fast he’s cleaned up Prince’s mess. He’ll have bumps along the road but he’ll get them on solid footing in no time.
