From The Couch: Nail-biter In Nola

From The Couch: Nail-biter In Nola

You might want to take something to help keep your blood pressure down when watching K-State football this season. The game Saturday was a nail-biter that came down to a somewhat controversial offensive pass interference call on Tulane after what everyone thought was the game-tying touchdown pass from Tulane quarterback Darian Mensah to wide receiver Yulkeith Brown. The call backed up Tulane fifteen yards. Two plays later, K-State safety VJ Payne intercepted a Mensah pass into the end zone, sealing…

Chris Klieman’s Bold Strategy: Kansas Kids Leading the Way

Chris Klieman’s Bold Strategy: Kansas Kids Leading the Way

Can Chris Klieman take a roster full of Kansas kids and win the Big 12 conference? While this may have been unthinkable in the past, this season there are 21 players from Kansas on the two-deep depth chart for K-State. Heck, the starting backfield, Avery Johnson, Dylan Edwards, and DJ Giddens, are all from Kansas. Johnson will likely complete passes to tight end Will Anciaux and receiver Sterling Lockett, both also from Kansas, as the season progresses. And three starting…

From The Couch – K-State vs. UT Martin: Reflections on K-State’s First Game of the Season

K-State head coach Chris Klieman challenged the players at halftime, and whatever he told them…

K-State vs. UT Martin: What to Watch For This Saturday

“Man, I’m as excited as you guys are.” That was K-State head coach Chris Klieman’s reply to a reporter who asked about quarterback Avery Johnson during Monday’s press conference. The Avery Johnson era is upon us, and even K-State’s head coach cannot wait to watch him on the field against UT Martin on Saturday. While UT Martin is no slouch (they have won three conference championships in a row) I expect K-State to take care of business against this FCS…

From The Couch – K-State Football Buzz

K-State head coach Chris Klieman and selected players met with the media yesterday. If these quotes don’t get you pumped up for Saturday, I don’t know what will. Here we go… JM: Hyperbole? Probably, but I think DJ Giddens is going to have a fantastic season. He’s getting Heisman odds now, so I put a buck on him! JM: Yes, that is correct. Sterling Lockett is listed as a backup receiver and it looks like he and Dylan Edwards will…
