Other Solid Pieces That Didn’t Fit

• PFB predicts the K-State game
• Spencer Sanders vs. Gundy’s other QBs through 12 games
• Another Tim Rattay player that threw lots of picks speaks
• Overcoming a Texas Hangover

Three Thoughts

• While it doesn’t seem like K-State matches up well with the Pokes right now, they’re still one of three teams that control their destiny:

That’s six teams in the running for a berth in the conference championship game in Arlington, and the only thing we know for sure is that the States — OSU, Kansas State, Iowa State — control their own destiny.

• When it comes down to it, it just doesn’t look like the Wildcats will be able to keep up with the Pokes tomorrow.

 The Pokes’ defense has an advantage here. West Virginia limited Deuce Vaughn, K-State’s top weapon, last week and Oklahoma State has the dudes to do the same.

• Tramel tastefully walks the line here and asks the question – why is there a Boone Pickens statue but not a Barry Sanders’ one?

Two Quotes

• This quote from Mike Gundy on Spencer Sanders tells you what you need to know about how they’ll handle him today.

“You got to let him go. Got to let him play. He’s aggressive. He’ll make some mistakes. He’s only played in [12] games I think in his career. He’s still young. He’ll make some mistakes, but we don’t want to put a leash on him. You got to let him go. He makes a lot of plays, and so we don’t want to tone him down. We want to let him rip and play football.”

• Iowa State’s Matt Campbell points out something – not a lot of star power in Big 12 QB’s nowadays:

“You’ve had a lot of great quarterbacks over the last couple of years, and I think you’re kind of on that young trend now rebuilding,” said Iowa State coach Matt Campbell. “Obviously, there’s some really good elder statesmen that have had tremendous success that are still in our league … it’s as cyclical as anything is.”

One Question

• How long will Mike Gundy have to watch under-sized Deuce Vaughan run today before the Pokes will offer the electric (and undersized) Braylin Pressley?
