Was there anything that you saw in the non-conference that gave you pause? Was there anything, you know, in the first three games that, you know, give you concern about this team? And then is there anything that you've seen that's better than you thought it would be?
Other lines have been better, but that also gives me pause for concern that they just haven't faced the right competition yet.
So defensively for K-State, we're going to find out because Cincinnati's offensive line is legit.
And maybe flipping it around the other way, this defensive line for Cincinnati will be the biggest test this offensive line's had.
Think about how K-State's gone into some seasons with the five they intended to start, and they've been far worse than this.
To make a change at left tackle and left guard within two weeks of kickoff is incredible.
And yeah, if this line holds up on Saturday, they're going to be in pretty good shape.
I think it might have been on your preview show earlier this week with football and the next man up mentality.
And any time that that happens and people do their job and they rise to the challenge, that's always thrilling.
I mean, you see what the Kansas city chiefs right now with the kid that's playing left tackle that had never played before and they slide them over and he's just filling in and doing, doing what he's paid to do.
He's helped with that with his legs, but by and large, um, they've done a fantastic job and keeping them clean.
