Lawson Mcgraw

I talked about it on Wednesday.

If you don't want Avery doing it, have Lawson McGraw and Michael Capria Practice an under center exchange for five minutes every single practice.

Bring those two guys in.

Slide over Villarreal.

Go with seven offensive linemen.

Lawson McGraw gives you eight and then three guys in the backfield.

And then you just clown car it.

That's what you should be doing.

On the offensive side, Tim, I know you're a huge fan right now of Oliver Miller, who's really stepped up.

Heck, Lawson McGraw got in there for 10 plays, and I thought he did a pretty solid job.

His very first play, he's out for a pass.

And he sat in the zone.

I mean, we knew they would have to because Garrett Oakley was unavailable.

They had to run this game with one true pass-catching tight end, and then Lawson McGraw, true freshman, got a decent amount of snaps but like up front was there anybody that stood out on the offensive line to you that

it's hard to see a lot of that live and trench play it's one of the hardest things to do it's like last couple weeks I don't know if anyone's been watching the uh the London games in the morning on Sundays and Jason Kelsey's calling the game he's really good at seeing that offensive line and defensive line play live it's really hard to pick out a guy that can do that is kind of a rarity so I think you've got a bright future because of that so it's really hard for me to say individually like what I will say a general observation that I was able to make is the KU edge rushers were getting some push there they were beating the tackles I thought Ryan Howard and Gus Hawkins but it was almost like a I don't know if a ploy is the right word to say it but a strategy where I think they were understanding that they were going to be on the edge a little bit with speed rushes and all that.

KU is really good speed rush, too, with Leroy Harris and the other guy that they have that poses a threat.

We came out and we ran 11 personnel after 11 personnel after 11 personnel and rarely on occasion would go 12 personnel.

And that's just an indication that They don't feel comfortable going to that third tight end that they would need Lawson McGraw or Owen Harrington.

I'm not even going to say the Elias Wilson kid because he's a project, but they don't feel comfortable doing that.

And so they have to be sporadic in how they approach their play calling and use those two tight ends because that's it.

Gigantic difference.

And if Garrett Oakley's out, then I don't think they have a choice.

Lawson McGraw, welcome to D1 football.

Or Owen Harrington.

How do they utilize those dang tight ends? We know K-State loves to use three tight ends.

Well, guess what? They might not have them now, and Lawson McGraw likely steps in as tight end number three, but I'm not so sure we'll see the true freshman.

I have a feeling it's going to be the Lincoln Kieran, Garrett Oakley show.

Now, what does that mean? Well, it probably means you'll see more three wide out sets.

So he's out.

Who's the third tight end? Uh, Lawson McGraw? I'm not sure.

What, what are your thoughts on that position? Because being in 12 personnel, one back, two tight ends, is almost the preferred set for Collin Klein's offense.

He's still got two good ones in Cure and Oakley, but you can't have them on the field the whole time.

He was more functioning like the second guy, but Cole, they, they gotta keep this going 'cause this was, this is about changing their entire offense if they can't k- have three tight ends in rotation.

Agreed.

Um, you know, it's gonna come down to either true freshman, Lawson McGraw, a- as you mentioned, or Owen Harrington's another guy they got brought in from junior college.

He's more of a blocking back.
