1. More questions than answers leaving Kansas State vs. Texas

Is Texas back? I don’t know.

Is Kansas State falling victim to being average in a much better than anticipated conference? I have no idea.

Those are just some of the major questions that are coming out of this game. We’ve reached the month of October where the questions that we had coming into the season and in September are usually answered. After the Texas victory, we come out of it with more questions than answers. What happens with Texas next week? Do they just completely crap the bed against Oklahoma or do we see them validate their victory over Kansas State with an even more impressive victory.

Do both teams have quarterback controversies leaving the game? I mean freshman Sam Ehlinger did a much better job against Kansas State compared to his first start? Do you continue to go with the hot hand? All of the sudden anything that we thought at the beginning of this game and the season is now falling under serious questioning.

Luckily we have a long way to go and just strap yourselves in because it’s going to be a bumpy ride as we get closer to seeing who will play in the Big 12 Championship Game come early December.
