Above all the announcement of Chris Kleiman as new head coach of Kansas State got a lukewarm reaction. True he coached a 1-AA powerhouse at North Dakota State but many questioned how that would translate at the Power Five level.

After all, he lost his starting job with the Crimson Tide. But since taking over as Sooners quarterback Hurts is putting up video game numbers.
