Yeah -- agree with consensus here on the First Half.
1) Stanford NOT READY, and that's not the 9am PT Kickoff. What did our coaches do for three weeks?
Why don't they cut the playbook in HALF, and do 8 or 10 plays well?
2) Agree, other than Booker up front, and Kelly's heroics on the INT -- the Defense looks lost.
The Safeties seem clueless. We cannot rush 3 on Thompson and give him 5-8 seconds to scramble for an open guy.
3) Agree the Blitz called on third down left the middle WIDE OPEN for Vaughn on the TD,
but DT Ryan Johnson (#23) has to dive left into the hole and force the play right into the Blitz. That didn't happen.
4) K-State is VERY Aggressive on Defense, with quick strong Safeties and our Coaches prepared for AVERAGE.
So our O-Line is getting over-whelmed. I think the RBs have gotten as much out of a play as is there.
5) Totally agree with consensus here that T.McKee > J.West. Much more upside. Let him play.
I think Shaw gave West a fair shot. West lacks the confidence against a talented, quick secondary.
In H.S. McKee played against ELITE SoCal high schools with NCAA level talent.
At this point there is NOTHING to lose: Let McKee sling it. Open up the Offense and throw underneath, run draws, screens, flares.
Go get Casey Filikins into the mix as a slot back.
