The Insiders Live! Kansas State vs. Arizona should offer a measuring stick for both teams

The K-State Insiders return with a live event following Kansas State's 34-27 road victory at Tulane on Saturday in New Orleans. Meanwhile, Arizona struggled at home with Northern Arizona. The two Wildcats meet Friday night in Manhattan with plenty of fans on both sides wondering about the states of their teams despite both being unbeaten and in the Top 25.

Thanks to everyone who watched live. We went above 1k and the live chat was hopping. Plus, my friend Katie rocked it along with the GPC boys.

Arizona fan here. Great show, I enjoyed the listen! Good luck to your wildcats this Friday and may the best wildcats win!

[@GoPowercat]

Thanks! You too!

My high school coach preached DJ's behavior. 1. If you knock somebody down help em up, then pancake em again the next play. 2. If you get in the end zone act like you've been there before.

It’s a Barry Saunders demeanor. In the era of tiktok, and reading headlines every second of the day, we gotta be grateful for a guy like this.

DJ lowkey backpacking entire offense and no love from the broadcast

Brien was right on with every comment.

Katie, let’s not act like people are going to the KU game 😂

Noah fifita is not a scrambler fitz, he’s tallied negative rushing yards the last two seasons.

[@orphan9049]

I do agree that he can make plays out of the pocket though! I think we will be fine if we apply the pressure before tmac gets downfield… and maybe actually cover a guy or two

[@toowiseforyou]

​@@orphan9049 You're correct, he is not a mobile QB, like Avery. He can make plays outside of the pocket, but he can get caught too.

Y’all don’t be pissed if this is a preview of the year end championship

[@chrisstephens2480]

DJ Giddens looks a bigger than they have him listed at 212 lbs! Maybe 220 lbs!

[@kylemvanover]

Agree 150% about getting Dylan on the field, I think you hinted at the idea that having him out there will make DJ even better, not to mention making Avery more of a threat. I just don’t understand taking him off the field. Sounds like HCCK has “challenged the offense” to get him on the field more

[@TodBrown-vp1li]

We have to play aggressive on offense and not scared. Make the defense stop what we are doing!! If you don’t believe in yourself that’s not good. 😈💜

[@hectorramonmendoza4411]

Arizona had like 6 to 7 players out due injury. Most will play at K. St. Arizona center out, he also a captain and best OL. Vanilla offense. You all can judge Zona play, last year no one respected Arizona either.

Also starting RB is out due to eligibility issue. 2nd RB is just as good but it was a 2 headed monster when both play.

[@KipBennett-qf8yo]

That running back is still getting reps And you honestly think 🤔 that Brennan is going to allow him to get reps If he doesn't think he will be back eligible soon 🔜 Just think logically

[@chrisshea3244]

Brian said it. If they don't show up against AZ, then we really do have some serious problems. It's very possible that this is only a 6 win team. Maybe 5. Friday we will find out.

[@billbolinger4195]

I said in one of the shows last week that Tulane was going to be no slouch. I'm not a gambler but I mentioned I would take Tulane +10 The line right now is K-State -7 I'll take Arizona and the 7. If they don't fix the DB's, Fafita is going to have 600 yards passing

[@toowiseforyou]

You and everyone else, underestimated the freshman quarterback for Tulane. Arizona is a top 20 ranked team, but they will lose & lose worse than Tulane.

[@billbolinger4195]

@@toowiseforyou I didn't underestimate anything. I think you misread my comment

[@AngusBulls65]

It's coaching malpractice not to have Dylan on the field most of the time. The excuse of the low play count given by Kleiman is B.S. If the play count is low, it's even MORE important to get him in there, so that he still has an impact. There's no other way to say it, at least on this issue, this is bad coaching. I have confidence they will fix it, but this should not have happened.

[@toowiseforyou]

Coaching malpractice? Gimme a break! Go back to your courtroom, we're having fun here.

[@AngusBulls65]

Sure as hell is

DJ needs a nickname to elevate his brand. The Big Truck maybe? Workmanlike, very Kansas, takes care of business and he will truck you.
