Not really cheating if your signals are that easily stolen... I consider it gamesmanship... change your damn signals...

Kansas State really messed up and lost the.game themselves

Their.defense played very good, tough test for Auburn they aren't going to face many more defenses like it

Auburn stole the 'Miss this FG' signal.

KSU played a good game....just didn't take advantage of some opportunities; pass interception in the end zone and 3 missed field goals. It's clear that KSU has a good offensive line for pass protection and a quarterback who can run and throw. Auburn played a very conservative game with few mistakes and given the one sided referee calls; Auburn got out of there with a win. Not one penalty against KSU.....seems strange to me.

I seen several holds and PI on Aub that wasn't called, hell, the O-Line held almost every play.

I don't disagree with this but would add it was on both sides but will admit the KSU linemen were experts at hiding the holds (I say this with admiration not condemnation). They got caught for a cut block once but there were several the KSU linemen are very determined blockers and not afraid to get their uniforms bloody and dirty if necessary. Snyder does more with less than anyone in the country the rest of the B12 really needs for him to retire!

The huge difference in this game was kick coverage KSU blocked for punts and kick offs brilliantly to the point I would give them a grade of 10+ out of 10. Truly impressed with their discipline to hold and switch blocks while also having an incredible knack for hitting a player right on their blind spot but not in the back.

Maybe the best kick coverage I have ever seen by a team it was impressive. The temptation is to give the credit to Lockett (who is the real deal) but he had tremendous help with the blocks.

That was the downgrade I saw in this years Auburn team. The OL/FB does not look to be at the same level at this point. It is still early in season, so that can change.

Not having Jay Prosch at the FB position is a bigger loss than Tre Mason, Greg Robinson and Dee Ford combined. The guy was responsible for more of our running yards then the guys actually making them a true throw back, hard nose player that defines the game of football with his play.

BTW: For some stupid reason Auburn agreed to let B12 officials call that game and KSU had zero penalty yards for the night. So I think we should all agree officiating wasn't the reason KSU lost that game.

Has anyone checked on the KSU kicker today?

but that is a bit misleading. I know several times KSU was flagged. I really did not see anything tat was crazy, maybe one uncalled PI. You have to love Big 12 refs, they never call holds

He WAS on the Lou Groza Watch list. This season he has missed four field goals.

K.State will make a run for the Big12 title?

I don't think it's just Big 12 refs, hell I don't see it called in a lot of games in other conferences or the NFL. But then I've been told it's only holding if you get caught.

really? I only saw one flag and it was offset...

That's just part of the game. It's the same thing with all teams, it's a matter of execution. The reason teams are worse than other teams is because they don't execute well enough. Which means turning the ball over in the endzone, dropping passes, missing FG's, and all of that.

Of course if the other team had executed better they would have won.

This thread and the Winston thread are going to merge and create a thread that breathes fire and attacks Tokyo.

So you are claiming that K-State has a better defense than all the teams in the SEC-West, and Georgia and South Carolina from the SEC East?
