Klieman & KState are going to be a problem, aren't they?

This program just feels eerily similar to Snyder's years. Tempo, smart football.
Forced 4 turnovers, while having zero today.

He was the perfect hire for that school to retain that methodical system. I hope he gets poached, soon.

Yes.... they will always be a problem as long as Kliemann is there. It was a great hire. They don't hardly look any different than they did when Snyder was there.

They play REALLY hard and smart..... the opposite of OU.

I don't want to take anything away from Coach Klieman, but I think OU stunk up the place in the second half, poor or missed tackles and/or defensive assignments that got blown.

KSU had a hell of a comeback, and they did it with 7 players not able to suit up, but it doesn't happen without the Sooners help...

Let's hope that same OU D shows up next Saturday!!

This is the same thing OU has been doing for what, over a decade now? Occasionally they tighten up on D but otherwise it's a wet napkin and it honestly sucks that they're the face of the conference as they own the 'defense optional' narrative.

Yeah, I'm most aggravated by the fact that they seemed to have nailed the "fit" aspect. For everyone who was hoping for a return to Ron Prince, and that the Vampire was all KSU had going for them, that ship has sailed. They have a legit coach who looks like another Vampire/Ferentz type. They will rarely beat themselves and will absolutely feast on every opponent misstep.

I mean, he'd seriously be a great in the SEC at Arky or SC.
Arkansas may be a good fit actually. I wasn't sure Kleiman was legit at NDSU after taking over what Bohl built but he is very good. His teams are sound, play hard and don't beat themselves.
