Well, considering the Colorado, Missouri, and Kansas games is at Manhattan, I would tend to give the odds to Kansas State. Plus, you have seen Missouri and Kansas' defenses recently, yes?

I need to see more consistency from KSU. They weren't even on the radar before this week. Maybe A&M is that bad.

And you might be right. Maybe aTm is worse than people think, including me. I still find it a little odd that they got their asses handed back to them, considering their QB is Jerrod Johnson, the Big 12's total offense leader, who played decently up to this point.

Perhaps it's just one of those days that you know it's just not your day for aTm. However, I also want to let people know that Daniel Thomas kid is real. Plus, K-State offense showed more "spark" when Grant Gregory replaced Coffman. Gregory has more risks than Coffamn, with his dumbassery spinning out of the pocket, trying to create something, only to lose massive yardage. But he also has high reward, as he can run better than Coffman, and manage the team better.

But you are right. K-State do need to show more consistency. But you can't deny that K-State actually gotten better under Bill Snyder. Remember, K-State under Dickless Prince gave up what, a shit ton of yardage and points?

In 2008 season, K-State defense gave up 35.8 PPG in 12 games.
In 2009 season, K-State defense gave up 23.8 PPG in 7 games.

So outside of one bad game in Texas Tech, they had been consistent in terms of keeping their opponents below 25.

I was at the game last night - it was a perfect storm. Everything that could have went wrong for A&M, did. The only reason A&M scored 14 was we put our backups in and they kept their starters in for the entire game.

I agree with you - we could easily lose to Colorado next Saturday.

I'll bet you $100 we (KSU) win that game by 10+ points. CU on the road is a lot like KSU on the road - they suck.

The only way i'll be comfortable with the idea of winning this game easily is they start Cody Hawkins..

Even if this Hanson guy is starting, he can't play defense, and K-State does have a running game, unlike KU and Mizzou.

Actually, KU has one of the best running attacks in the conference. The problem last night, IMO, was that they brought Sharp back in too soon. Or at least they should have given Opurum half the carries. That guy tore some shit up the last 2 weeks. But CU's defense really played well against the run last night. They were keying on Sharp big time.

I wouldn't take that bet, because you are probably right. I wouldn't bet against K-State if the game is in Manhattan.
