What do Kansas State coordinators think about Texas QB Maalik Murphy, red zone battle?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:38:09 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Kansas State defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman isn't quite sure what to think about Texas redshirt freshman quarterback Maalik Murphy.In a press conference Thursday, Klanderman said since there's so little video to review of Murphy and how he runs the Texas offense, it will be a reactive scenario for him. No. 7 Longhorns have to be sure-tacklers to stop Kansas State’s punishing rushing attack "I don't know that we know what's going to come with Maalik Murphy right now," Klanderman said. "That will unfold itself as it goes."Klanderman thinks Murphy is "very capable" of running the entire offense like Quinn Ewers would. Still, there's a level of mystery to him in regards to the complexity Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian will put in the gameplan.MORE THAN THE SCORE: Stay up to date on sports stories like these, and sign up for our More than the Score sports newsletter at kxan.com/newsletters"I just don't know how much complexity they're going to put on some of tha...

BERKELEY, Mo. - After decades of neglect, major cleanup efforts begin for one historic African-American cemetery in north St. Louis County. Volunteers spent Friday uncovering 40 years of lost history at a community graveyard. The hard work of many at Washington Park Cemetery revealed hidden gravestones and cleaned up decades of overgrown shrubs. "This volunteer group here has done more this morning than I've done since 1991," said Walter Rice, whose mother was buried at the grave site several years ago. Hermann, Missouri ‘Christmas Vintage’ movie now streaming Volunteers from Focal Point and Right Away Landscaping cleared two acres at the cemetery, which has thousands of graves dating back to 1921."It was overgrown so bad when I started," said Rice. "I used a machete to cut a path to my mother's grave."Rice visits the cemetery often to clean off his mother's grave. Dora Rice passed away in 1965 when her son was just returning from the Army."As long as I take care of my mother's gr...

Keeler: Deion Sanders, what are you thinking? Pencil Pat Shurmur won’t fix what ails CU Buffs offense, Coach Prime

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:38:09 GMT

Pat Shurmur’s offense sent Teddy Bridgewater to the hospital. There are times you wonder, honestly, if Deion Sanders, coach, spends enough time talking to Deion Sanders, father of CU’s best offensive player.Because none of this co-offensive coordinator switcheroo makes a lick of sense. Unless the point is getting embattled CU offensive line coach Bill O’Boyle, whom Coach Prime threw under the bus weeks ago, out the door with cause.But trying to get O’Boyle’s pal Sean Lewis, the only Buffs coordinator who’s held up his end of the bargain this fall, to quiet quit as well? Brother, that takes some serious stones. Or a serious lack of self-awareness. Or both.On one level, you kinda get it. When the offense hits a wall — as it did in the second half of the Stanford game and the first three quarters of the UCLA tilt — it’s time to roll the dice. Desperate times and all that.But come on, Coach Prime.Pencil Pat?When last we left Shurmur calling play...
