I have two of my favorite coaches going in this game. Al Golden, coach of Miami's Hurricanes, turned around my Temple Owls, and I will always be grateful to him for what many considered an impossible task. Coach Bill Snyder, probably my favorite college coach of all time, has led his KSU program from the absolute depths of college football. There might be an argument that Snyder turned around THE worst college football program into one of the better programs in the FBS.
With that as background, I am really looking forward to this 12:00 game tomorrow.
Miami had a surprisingly effective game last week vs. Boston College. I don't think they'll repeat that effort tomorrow at one of the toughest venues in which a visiting team has to play, Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kansas( no coach deserves to have a stadium named after him more).
KSU has a two-way threat at QB in Klein, a formidable running game, 3.5 starters back in the receiving corps and 7 starters back on defense.
Despite the Hurricane win last week, they are inexperienced at QB and at the rest of their offense, and, more importantly, I believe they are inexperienced on defense, which will be costly in that they are playing against a QB that can beat you with both his running(Klein gained 1440 yards rushing last year!) and passing.
The Kansas State Wildcats are the pick.
