Cactus Bowl: Kansas St vs UCLA
- Thread starter Prospero915
- Start date
I wonder if that's the offense he ran per Snyder though or is that his offense?
Remember, we have Canales coming in, whose most prolific offenses have been nothing like Dimel run offenses. I guess we're just going to have to wait to find out what kind of O to expect.
The offense reminded of Kugler. Only it was the Pistol Formation and the Qb ran the ball instead of the I-Formation with the Rb running the ball. But the playcalling was familiar. Draw, dive, off-tackle, counter, dive, 3 yard pass, draw, etc. But it worked.
It works with a bigger, tougher QB that can also sling it once the defense closes in to stop the run.
Surprisingly, the KState QB was 6foot, 200 pounds, but he had 20 carries. I'm excited though if we get the son as a transfer that'll be great.
Ertz, the starter injured during the season, is closer to their prototype — 6-3, 212.
Dimel is a fullback.

Announcers mentioned Dimel has already graduated and may follow his dad to UTEP. Also, lots of those QB Iso’s were actually RPO’s. Can’t argue with the results, K-State wore down UCLA and eventually took what they wanted.
I remember in Dimel's press conference he mentioned something like we aren't going to be passing for 650 yards a game and put our defense out on the field for most of the game. So I think we are going to run an offense very similar to KSU's. I have watched a few KSU games since Dimels hire and their offense pretty much runs everything. They run, they will spread it out and pass, they run the QB a lot.
Last night KSU didn't have to pass at all cause UCLA could not stop that shotgun read option play.

I know the son is a FB. Sorry if my post didn't make that clear. Him and Hernandez would've been so cool together.
K-State lineman weren’t huge. I would say their offense was different than Kuglers in that the O-Line pulled a lot and used downblocks, fold blocks, pin and pulls, etc..Much more active blocking schemes. I think it’s easier to recruit this type of lineman.
KSU runs the pistol. Kug tried it with Kavika, however, Kavika appeared to struggle with it. You really got to make the SAM or MIKE along with the DE to bite. The QB has to know how to hit the seams like Aaron Jones, have an arm like Jordan Palmer and have moxy and guts like Metz. Right now, UTEP just has the guts and moxy in Metz.
Given Metz’ history concussion history there is no way in hell he can carry the ball 20 times a game. The kid is a gamer but he’s taken too many big hits over the last couple of years, you have to wonder how much football he has left.
