It’s a bye week, which gives us some time to look back and reflect on a successful first three games for Chris Klieman and his staff. Former Kansas State All-American safety Jaime Mendez joined us to look even further back and do some comparing with the first few years of Bill Snyder’s tenure, since Jaime was a major piece of that initial recruiting class in 1989. He told Derek Moeller-Smith and I that so far, things look good enough that it’s not hard to imagine this team winning 8-10 games.
Of course, we touched on the secondary’s new aggressiveness, learning why that’s so much better for defensive backs than the frustrating “bend but don’t break” defense of recent years.
