TIME TO GO TO THE LAND OF WABASH CANNONBALL AND THE GREATEST COACHING HIRE OF ALL TIME.

IT'S KANSAS STATE DAY.

The last few years of the Snyder era were a bit of a drunken wobble, but Klieman's first year in charge was quite solid (even if they faded late).

The O was the primary reason for K-State's late-2019 slide -- ran out of tricks (and healthy bodies in the skill corps). But a TON of skill guys got reps, and Skylar Thompson's back for a 19th year. OL gets rebuilt, though.

Really strange defensive year for K-State. A bit of a sieve on 1st/2nd down, but if they forced 3rd, a) it was 3rd-and-long, and b) they capitalized. LBs & DBs are exciting this year, but as with the O, the line is rebuilding.

2 rebuilt lines + 6 top-40 opponents = probably no second-year leap for K-State. But I like what I've seen from Klieman, and I like what he's probably gonna build.

K-State's SP+ history. The 14 best KSU teams of all time have played in the last 30 years. Bill Snyder was impossible.

yeah sorry about that https://twitter.com/oscarwildecat1/status/1278762650818752523?s=20
