Hanni said some people started getting there at 1:00 to get ready for Hawk Talk.
Leipold said it was a good win and the kids stuck together through some hard games.
Thought they played a clean football game and had minimal penalties. They've been looking for explosive plays and consistency and a balanced attack and they got that. They talked about defensively being more aggressive.
The long opening drive they made a statement.
He said the last two games he's played the best football he has played in a while. They have expected a lot from him over the last two years and they didn't understand how it was going to take off the rust and get in a rhythm.
Leipold said that Daniels is ready to play this weekend in Manhattan. Thought Lawrence Arnold had his best game.
They talked about the throw to Trevor Wilson and it looked like some of the plays he has made in the last few years and credited Wilson for getting his toe down and staying in bounds.
The end of the halfs haven't been what they wanted and for Cobee to come up with that interception before half was big.
Leipold said the one thing they've done well is owning their play. When they've come up short they've been able to look at it on film but they've come back to work and worked hard. He said they've always told the players 3-5 plays a game can be the difference.
He said going to Manhattan will be a challenge but the players know how close they were last year. They have to go in and play their best football.
Said rhythm and timing are so big with the quarterback and receiver and that is starting to come together.
Leipold said they will have to be consistent for four quarters and Kansas State has a lot of weapons on offense. They do a good job of mixing it up with the run and the pass and get the tight ends involved. It will be a big test and they have played well up to this point.
They had their most tackles for a loss last week and they need to continue that. They need to be balanced on offense and create some big plays. He felt they were better in special teams last week than they were the previous two and they have to be good in the special teams game.
Cornell Wheeler coming back was a big boost for the defense. They look for Wheeler to play more snaps this week.
On trying to contain and stop Avery Johnson he said he is turning into the quarterback that people knew through the recruiting process he would be. He has good vision and ability to create plays with his feet.
KSU is number 5 nationally against the run he said they are outstanding and coached well and rotate a lot of players. They are disciplined and play with a lot of effort. Leipold said they have to have gap responsibility and be good in the run game.
