Beasley delivers the kind of game K-State needs.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
DALLAS _ Jonathan Beasley won't be regarded as the best quarterback ever to play for coach Bill Snyder at Kansas State. But Beasley just might be Snyder's favorite.
Beasley is the quintessential K-State quarterback, a player who looks far better in retrospect than at the moment.
Now that his career is over, now that the Wildcats have trounced Tennessee 35-21 in Monday's Cotton Bowl thanks to Beasley's offensive-MVP performance, now that Beasley's senior class is just the second in the history of college football to string together four straight 11-win seasons, let's all admit the obvious:
Beasley was a pretty good college quarterback.
He didn't deserve all the scorn, cynicism and negative vibes thrown his way. Beasley reminds me of Snyder's football program. You can't enjoy it in bits and pieces. We tend to overreact to each tough loss, to each bad interception.
The Wildcats (and Beasley) are best digested as a full-course meal at the conclusion of the season.
How different does K-State's 2000 season feel now that the Wildcats, 11-3, dominated a traditional Southeastern Conference powerhouse, a school just two years removed from a national championship?
