Spring Look At The Cats -- QUARTERBACK


Here's a guarantee for the quarterback position for the Wildcats in 2008... barring injury, a male human being wearing the K-State uniform with the #1 on it will be the starter. Whew! Got that one out of the way.

Just how well Josh Freeman does in 2008 clicks once again on his offensive line (more on the O-Line at a later time). His sophomore year stats were actually pretty impressive -- he completed 63% of his passes for over 3,300 yards with 18 TD's to 11 picks. If he isn't running for his life behind his pourous O-Line, he's a pretty accurate passer. With a new Offensive Coordinator in 2008, perhaps there will be a few more deep throws.

In case Freeman breaks his leg in 4 places during the Louisiana-Lafayette game, sophomore Carson Coffman would step in to take the reigns. Coffman passed for 22 yards in 2007. The back-up to the back-up is redshirt freshman Tysyn Hartman who wears the #2 jersey... so maybe he should be the #2 QB? Sure, why not.

Scary Smart Head Coach Ron Prince recruited two high school quarterbacks -- Collin Klein from Loveland, Colorado and Joseph Kassanavoid from Lawson, Missouri. Both will spend the 2008 season picking their arses on the sideline.

GRADE: B
