Keys To Victory Against Oklahoma State

Comments 0 Comment

Kansas State finished the non-conference portion of their schedule undefeated by beating Stanford, Southern Illinois, and Nevada in impressive fashion. The Wildcats were so impressive that they received enough votes to earn a number 25 ranking in this week’s AP poll. They’ll try to keep the winning streak intact when they play Oklahoma State in Stillwater on Saturday.

I saw three different independent Big 12 football rankings today that had Kansas State at or near the top of their lists.

The thought that kept creeping into my mind as I was watching the K-State Wildcats beat the Nevada Wolf Pack 38-17 yesterday was that “this K-State offense looks like Martyball.” The late Marty Schottenheimer coached the Kansas City Chiefs from 1989 to 1998. His brand of football was coined “Martyball.” What was “Martyball?” It meant playing smashmouth football by running the ball, playing strong defense, and creating turnovers. Chris Klieman is molding this type of team, and he’s proving that…

Chris Klieman and offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham spoke with the media this week and many of the questions they fielded had to do with the quarterback position. It sounds like Skylar Thompson is week-to-week and Will Howard and Jaren Lewis aren’t as far apart as we thought. Here’s what they said… “He is going to be out this week, then we’ll reevaluate it based on how he’s feeling as well as based on what the docs say. “…Chris Klieman on…
