A few thoughts this week

[BeastMan]

-God am I happy to see Fitz this week. I?ve been critical of his accuracy and team leader abilities over the years but I couldn?t be happier to see him back. After the 2nd half of the Egg Bowl and the bowl game I had talked myself into KT making a big jump and actually challenging Nick this fall. No way no how this is 1000% his team and the journey starts Saturday. Be ready Fitz.

-Do not let last week?s KSU game cloud your judgement. They likely barely prepared for SDSU and were not interested in playing that game. They?ll be sky high for us and the atmosphere will be electric.

-This is our first game this year vs a running mobile QB. He?s not a great passer but can make things happen with his legs. Great challenge for our front 7. If they can bottle him up and beat him up a bit it will greatly effect his passing accuracy which isn?t good to begin with.

-Get ready for heavy doses of the RPO. Fitz and Kylin and I expect Williams to get some more carries. Last week I think JoMo went heavy downfield to make a point on film. Last year his QB was 18th nationally in yards per attempt and KT blew the lid off that number. I think you?ll see more RPO short passes as well as medium level routes (like deep ins).

-Last year KSU had the 15th best ypc rushing defense vs ranked opponents. This will be a great challenge for the OL and give us a measuring stick for Florida, LSU, Auburn, and Bama.

-Bill Snyder is a wizard and his numbers on Dave Bartoo?s matrix are off the charts. He does not lose at home. His last SEC match-up in Manhatten was 2014 top-5 Auburn that they lost 20-14 after turning the ball over a bunch. They play a clean game they win. MSU fans need to be ready for a war.

We will beat the ever living shit out of this team...??? damn son you really think this will be a close game. They SUCK!

[Jarius]

This game is not going to be close unless we turn it over a lot. I don't care how much they were not up for an FCS school. If you have to have 2 4th quarter td's to beat a mid level FCS school you don't have a good p5 team. They can't throw the ball at all and that is our only weakness. If we play as good as we played this past Saturday, which was not anywhere near our best, we will beat them by 3 touchdowns.

We played 4 road games last year. We were completely destroyed in the auburn and Georgia games. We dominated an aTm team and survived Arkansas. Both teams fired their coach. I too think this will be a challenge for us... 31-17 state

ETA... we dominated la tech last season also. I think k state is more on aTm and ark level though

[Cary Hudson's little bro]

Beast...lately, the last week or so, you have been going out of your way to sound like the smartest guy in the room. Your takes have been unusual and turble especially on twitter. Get it together man.

We will win this game with a cushion throughout unless injuries in the first quarter. no, I don't want to bet on it. Just my opinion.

[Jack Lambert]

KT did not have a red shirt year. He was put into a bad situation. He did a hell of a job. He played the hand he was given as well as one would think for a True Freshman last season. Let's not forget he is still very young and will be one hell of a QB.

to even mention KsU/KU in the same breath as Aubarn and GA is sacrilegious and is like comparing a cow turd to a ribeye.

Wasn't comparing them... k state did take playoff Oklahoma to the wire last season at home, 42-35

It's that keto flu getting to his head**

[TrapGame]

Had Snyder coached an ultra-vanilla game and beat South Dakota by three tds I'd be worried. But he had to have a 4th quarter td to pull this out.

But this may help him fire the team up for us. They'll have something to prove Saturday.

Specifically? Call somebody out be specific. KT looked bad? LSU looked good? What hurt your feelings?

I’m not specifically worried about this game but acting like a road game in Manhattan is a cake walk is koolade. We have decades of data on Snyder teams.

[Cooterpoot]

We're going to win big. We won't give up more than 17 points and that'll only be if we score 45+ and pull guys.

42-10 would be quite the message. I think we’re gonna be surprised with how hard they play but I also think JoMo has some serious offensive wrinkles coming after what I think was a schematic set-up game last week. JoMo knows this game is freaking huge for his tenure. I’m really pumped to see our “new offense” will actually look like in QB play but also scheme/playcalling because last week wasn’t it. I bet ya

According to engie on sps, winds expected to be 25-30 mph. We're about to find out how improved fitz's accuracy is. I personally am a little nervous with him throwing down field into winds like that

He has a strong arm. Hell he might throw one back to Mississippi with the wind.

I have zero worries about whether fitz can deliver the ball. I have plenty of worries on whether he can deliver it where he wants it

This is why he really needed to play this past Saturday. I think our Defense and his running ability will make up for any mistakes he makes.

The guy we’re playing isn’t accurate at all and isn’t half the runner Fitz is. If there is end like that it helps us huge. Our DL will destroy and own that line of scrimmage in a game like that.

I think we'll be fine, but I don't expect us to look very good in the passing game Saturday
