Is Melvin Ray (Alabama transfer WR) playing for AU?

But guys! What about the "S-E-C, S-E-C, S-E-C!?"

unfortunately i think it is just around the corner

 

[BamaJama17]

Really liking what K State is doing on defense.

Yeah but not on offense.

 

[JBama_in_PCOLA]

They need to score though, KState.

 

[BamaJama17]

Nick Marshall's pass is batted down!!!

 

[CrimsonForce]

This AU offense looks weak. No real passing threat and they are really missing Tre Mason. No power running game. They basically have three scat backs..

 

[TideFan in AU]

The bad thing about Malzahn's offense is that it is nothing without tempo. Absolutely nothing special AT ALL.

 

[crimsonaudio]

Not sure if the barn is unimpressive offensively or KS is playing that well, but that O looks REALLY pedestrian so far...

 

[JBama_in_PCOLA]

If KState can just hang around...

 

[bamacon]

Everybody in the Big 12 faces these kinds of offenses week in week out. They are built for this offense. They still have to maintain discipline which they have. That is a testament to their top notch coach IMO.

Bingo!

 

[CrimsonForce]

Looks kinda like a DB playing QB lol. Oh wait..

Yes

 

[AUDub]

Inauspicious start

I've never been to Kansas, would K-State be the Barn of Kansas?

I'd think KU is.

That's what I always thought until I asked my Kansan stepmother about the KU/KSU rivalry (she's a KU grad and registered nurse). She said that everyone in Kansas always makes fun of KSU because they're an agricultural school out in the middle of nowhere that studies wheat, farming and cows. KSU is the Auburn of Kansas.

That's because the barn isn't getting away with all of those holds and illegal linemen downfield.

AU 0 for 4 on 3rd down so far..

Yup just the single wing formation.

Agreed. If they can just get their offense going.

And Bama had a 42-14 victory proving that very thing in GM's last year as OC
