Someone's trying really hard to get us to buy K-State being anything other than average to below average.
AMart was recovering from shoulder surgery, thus he didn't throw this spring. He's chucking it now though and according to his receivers very well. His issues in the past have been mental (QB IQ) or perhaps it was scheme. We'll see this fall whether playing for Klieman and Klein makes a difference. He won't lack for supporting talent.
ESPN Analyst Names Surprise Contender For 2022 Season
For the past few years, Baylor, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas have been the most competitive teams in the Big 12. According to ESPN's Mattthespun.com
The same shoulder that was injured and caused him to miss his senior year in high school. He ended up at Nebraska because most other programs that were looking at him didn't want damaged goods. The result is that he has a weird throwing motion and lacks touch on his throws - especially in the flats and short game. I have my doubts that 4 years of getting hit plus another injury and surgery is going to magically fix things.
There is a reason everyone is picking them to be a “sleeper” team, instead of a contender.Someone's trying really hard to get us to buy K-State being anything other than average to below average.
K-state has been giving ISU fits for years with their offensive, Martinez is a running QB, just like they like, and can scramble. At Nebraska they wanted him to run RPO, that is not what KST runs, theirs is more of a QB draw run play, that ISU ran with Lanning. They return one of the best backs in the conference.Only K-State fans would be able to convince themselves the missing piece this whole time was Adrian Martinez
They plan on running an uptempo offense with a QB that can't throw the ball to save his life in a conference stacked with teams that are defensive-minded who thrive on forcing teams into 3 and outs. I don't think an uptempo offense in this conference works anymore unless you like 3 and outs in under a minute.K-state has been giving ISU fits for years with their offensive, Martinez is a running QB, just like they like, and can scramble.

They very well could be for real this year.
Saying he can't throw to save his life is just a tad hyperbolic.They plan on running an uptempo offense with a QB that can't throw the ball to save his life in a conference stacked with teams that are defensive-minded who thrive on forcing teams into 3 and outs.

He's not accurate enough to run an uptempo offense against Big 12 defenses and he's also turnover prone. I stand by my comment.Saying he can't throw to save his life is just a tad hyperbolic.
KSU was dead last in plays per game last year, they are not going full upscale, but they do want to run more offensive plays than they have in the past. So they are just trying to do what every other team is doing.They plan on running an uptempo offense with a QB that can't throw the ball to save his life in a conference stacked with teams that are defensive-minded who thrive on forcing teams into 3 and outs.

No one is triggered by the few columnists who believe if everything goes right for K-State they could contend for the title. Majority of predictions have Kansas State winning 5.5-6.5 games. I think they’ll get 7.It's nice to see some rational posts here. Those triggered by K-State hype need to relax. We saw what happened last year. Goodness.
K-State won 8 last year. I can't see them winning less this time around. This is the year for coach Klieman - his recruits, his program. He'll either prove his mettle or eyebrows will be up on his stay in Manhattan. Very much like CMC last season; that's been my position all along.No one is triggered by the few columnists who believe if everything goes right for K-State they could contend for the title.

K-States best win was against a 6-7 WV team... They tallied three wins against terrible teams in the non con and beat up the bottom of the Big 12. Congrats?K-State won 8 last year.

Well?K-States best win was against a 6-7 WV team... They tallied three wins against terrible teams in the non con and beat up the bottom of the Big 12. Congrats?
They start the non-conference with 3 home games, Mizzou being the only team that could beat them, but S. Dakota is possible, but look at their conference road schedule, @ OU, ISU, WV, TCU and Baylor, they will be lucky to win one of those games on the road. So they are going to have to beat an improved UT team or OSU to get to 8 wins. Really can't see it, but if they can start 3-0, steal a road game at ISU or WV, beat TT and KU at home, that still only gets them to 7 wins. It hard to say that KSU is going to win 2 or 3 games at ISU, WV or TCU.K-State won 8 last year. I can't see them winning less this time around.

So you’re saying last season should raise some eyebrows in regards to Matt Campbell?K-State won 8 last year. I can't see them winning less this time around.

Should? Did.So you’re saying last season should raise some eyebrows in regards to Matt Campbell?
Well, I believe K-State will win 3 OOC games, beat up the B12 bottom half, and upset someone ahead of them. I just don't know how good or bad some of the conference teams will be.That's all you have?
