Cyclones fans will find a way to give all the credit to Heacock while bashing Manning because it should be 500 yards per game and 40 points per game.
You have to admit, Heacock wasn't bad either last night!

Speaking of Nwangwu . He and Brock did almost nothing as backup runners. Big drop off when Hall goes out.When Nwangwu was in early I had that thought. And then it happened often throughout the game it had me wondering more.

This Manning guy can keep his job I guess.
But seriously, when you don't turn the ball over and commit stupid penalty after stupid penalty, and allow kick off and punt returns for touchdowns..... things can look pretty good.
I'd have to go back and watch the tape, but did KSU blitz us much? I didn't remember that they did, but I could be wrong. My biggest beef with Manning has always been his inability to do anything against the blitz. I think he better be preparing this whole week for Texas to bring the heat all game on Friday with multiple blitzers.
But yes, a great game by Manning last night indeed!

They did blitz a fair amount and we picked it up well or Brock took off and got good yards with his feet. Off the top of my head the touchdown to Scates they blitzed and before the 2nd touchdown Brock had a huge run up the middle after we picked up a blitz. I'm sure there are a lot more but I'd have to watch the game again.
It should be noted they were down starting linebackers so that could have impacted their ability to get home with the blitz. Still, this was as good of a job as we have done handling it this season.
Hey guys just remember next Saturday Courtney Messingham is coming to town as Kansas States offensive coordinator.
Good game Messingham!
Not a fan of his, but honestly what could he have adjusted? His first QB looked like Charlie sheen in major league before his glasses and the second guy was getting lit up because he couldn’t move. He didn’t have anything to use.The K-State boards are heating up that they need to get rid of Mess. Saying that he doesn't make any in-game adjustments. Glad they have him.
I liked the frequent dump off passes to the flat (is that still a word that is used now?). Always open. Safe.Thanks for that info. That is good to know that they did blitz us a fair amount and we were able to pick it up.
Against Okie State, we had no answer whatsoever for their constant blitzes. Couldn't pick it up, and had no clue how to run a play to beat it either.
So yesterday was obviously great improvement. I expect to see Texas bring the kitchen sink on us Friday..... and I'd love nothing more than to make Herman pay for it.
When Purdy has time, he's deadly. When he's pressured, it gets REALLY ugly pretty fast.
he is doing better up in the booth, Campbell can tell him what to callI wondered if this thread would show up after that game. lol Seems everyone is a Manning fan this week. No doubt that if we lose the Texas game, people will call for his head again. My point is this, its incredibly hard to be excellent every game. Manning's body of work is very solid. Quit judging him game to game.
Manning is the architect behind the #1 rated offense in the Big 12. Mr. Cyguy5, I could be wrong, but I'm going to guess that starting this thread was not your proudest moment, at least I hope so.

Kempt: You know, I beat OU too...on the road.Anyone know Kempt's role in working with Purdy? Does he coach him, or does he pass things on to him that Manning/others are telling him?
