My takeaway from that description is Kansas State lacks quality depth.  Every team suffers injuries to some degree.  And though Stanford has in general stayed healthy this decade, without good depth, it's tough to win conference championships.  It's not just having your starters stay healthy.  It's having enough guys to play to spell the starters without much of a drop-off, particularly on defense. And I would imagine that because KSU relies on JC transfers so much, that depth is never going to be a strong suit for the program.

To me the challenge KSU usually presents is a running QB.  How good of a runner is the projected QB?
