re: State... If Stevens is out, are you comfortable with the True Freshman after this weekend

Shrader played reasonably well for a Freshman. The reason we lost the game was a special teams failure. Plain and Simple.

In the first quarter we sucked but we had gained the momentum and were playing well after we went on a 17-0 run from the 2nd to the 4th Quarter. The kickoff return which was tremendous, great blocking and the returner hit the seam and was gone completely turned the game around.
Credit to KSTATE for earning the victory and they deserved it.
Stevens was obviously not at 100% and that is problematic. I think Bear Bryant used to say for every Freshman you start go ahead and mark an “L” in the record book.

This game against UK will tell us a lot. I don’t expect Stevens to play. I have no idea how it will go. UK lost a heartbreaker against UF and we will see how they respond from that.

Who responds the better from a disappointing Finish yesterday will win this game Saturday.
