I think this was a winnable game. Kansas have a good team. We did not roll over and they knew they were in a game. But I'm sure their fans can find fault where they should have scored more points,dominated more,etc…
For the coaches to see them go up there and hold their own for 3 qtrs against a Big 12 team, has to be encouraging. I know you'll hear the anti "moral victory" speech from players and coaches this week. But college players and coaches are a little different behind closed doors. They understand that they face very huge obstacles this year. So to come out and be competitive with Kansas on the ROAD for the first game is something you can only build on.
Personally I like the effort they put out up there. Obviously the victory would have been better. But being a realist I see that they do have room for improvements. The gap is not too wide and hopefully fixing it will not be too difficult.
We have to work on some things but so does the Oklahoma Sooners(who didn't plan their loss either) and a few other top 25 teams.

The guys really conducted themselves well overall. The 24-point (or was it 28 by game time) spread certainly was out of place. The members of the crowd with whom I spoke were polite and respectful, with the exception of one very drunk young guy (and that's to be expected). I couldn't tell exactly what he was trying to say (badly slurred speech) , but it was didn't sound like, "Good day."
All in all, the 1,100-mile round trip was well worth it, even at $3-plus a gallon. I wish I could be at Dolphins Stadium Thursday night. At least someone will be sitting in my season seats, and I'll have ESPN2. Hope all of you get to go….
By the way, I was standing in the team hotel restaurant Saturday morning when a waitress told Coach Schnellenberger what a well-behaved group of men he had on his team. She said she usually hates to work when football teams are staying there because of the behavior.

Ya know with all the negative stuff you read about players it is refreshing to hear something good. Especially when it is a team you are rooting for. Thanks for that tid bit of info Grayowl and I hope someone passes it on to Coach Schnell.
