    Good game. Fun to watch although sometimes cringe worthy. Glad the Cats held on at the end.

    Fantastic job by the O-line and RBs. On the defensive side I the LBs played well but I'd like to see us tighten up our coverage a bit. Antwan Peek Jr. continues to be a menace at forcing fumbles.

    I thought the play calling was either very hot or very cold. . The Malachi Henry TD was a good example of hot. Great play action fake after hammering the RBs all the way down the field. Cold was putting in Zion Johnson in cold off the bench when Payne and Tabb had been gashing the defense all game. Not a reflection on Zion at all although he probably needs to work on ball security. Just a bad coaching decision to have him out there in that moment.

    That first long ball to JV Gibson should have been a PI call against K-State. Refs missed a lot of thing on both sides all game long. Seemed like there were a lot of reviews in the game although I didn't count them.

    Not to nitpick the negative but Scott Springer alluded to the middle eight minutes starting with 4:00 in the 2nd Q. That last 4:00 of 2Q and first 4:00 of 3Q on the clock continues to plague Satterfield. Defense bailed him out with the turnover on the first K-State series in the 3rd. That could have easily been 24-10 K-State if that turnover doesn't happen. This coaching staff seems to be masters of clock mismanagement and soft defense going into halftime. We've got to get that fixed eventually.

      Agree with Lobot on his assessment. It is going to take a while to get over the feeling that the Cats are going to shoot themselves in the foot and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I also think that JC French is showing how hard it is to move from FCS to FBS. He's holding the ball too long in the pocket (better sack than interception?) and is a step too slow to evade safeties on the fake handoff. I think the play calling and clock management just isn't as good as it needs to be to compete in the Big XII. So nice to see our big backs constantly make something out of nothing along with their big gashing runs!

        I was at the game. Great atmosphere and student section who stayed there late on Saturday night! KState was carving us up pretty easily in the first half. Nate Woody must have made some adjustments at halftime because they (Kst) were very frustrated in the second half. I got the impression that they had expected to come in to Nippert and just roll.Avery Johnson was not that big a factor. Good solid win.
