It’s the halfway point in the regular season, and here’s what to look for (along with a few musical references) as the Frogs are On The Road Again (Willie Nelson) to a place they’ve not yet won in as a member of the Big 12.

Coming off the explosive win over Texas, Coach P hinted that the light is starting go on for some of his young defensive players. I’d say so.

It’s That Time of the Season (The Zombies) when players hit another gear mentally and you can tell the difference. A lot of it has to do with the consulting firm of Pierson & Tuaua, experts in adding heart and fuel to defense.

The offense has hit another gear as well and running like a new Mercedes! A surprisingly explosive running game has been complimented as expected by the air game and Josh Doctson. But it’s the New Kid in Town (Eagles), KaVontae Turpin whose time has come.

Kansas State is as beat up on offense as the Frogs have been on defense, and the next new quarterback they run out will be their sixth of 2015.

Keys for the Frogs are to start fast and take advantage of their speed. Defensively, the Frogs have to get K-State off the field, or they’ll play “keep away” and shorten the game.

Bill Snyder is a master game planner, and he’ll have his beat-up troop ready to face the Purple Rain (Prince). The Frogs only win in Manhattan came in 1985 by a score of 24-22. Hopefully, this will be The Second Time Around (Sinatra).
