Let's take the time to discuss Ten Things we learned yesterday at Kansas State football's Media Day.

Credit to KMAN's John Kurtz for sharing info on this Tweet about potential plans to use senior running back Jordon Brown in the passing game.

In the video above I spoke to Brown some about his receiving history from his time at North Carolina and his ability to catch passes out of the backfield, and it sounds like K-State has even experimented a step further, splitting Brown out as a receiver in the slot to see what he can do there.

The Wildcats speak all the the time about finding creative ways to get the ball in their best athletes hands, and splitting Brown out in the slot while playing a different back may be another way to do that.

Okay, maybe not literally, but he's in there a lot.

Almost everybody seriously involved with the quarterback position - Skylar Thompson, Collin Klein and Courtney Messingam - independently praised Ast for his work preparing, this coming after Chris Klieman did the same on Monday.

Despite being a walk-on the sophomore has a big 6-foot-5 frame and underrated dual-threat type athleticism, but it sounds as if it's his willingness to prepare at a high level making him most difficult to beat out as the No. 2 option behind Thompson.

I suggested to K-State sophomore Wyatt Hubert the general impression - right or wrong - of K-State's defense in years past was one that wanted to avoid giving up the big play, first and foremost, and to try and allow the opposition to make mistakes by patiently moving the ball down the field.

I asked if the the general theme has change, and he suggested it really hasn't.

Hubert was able to rattle off numbers about how successful they were preventing the big play last year, both against the run and the pass, and how that will be a big key this season.

Expect changes defensively, for sure, but perhaps not a complete shift. Playing wise and forcing offenses to make plays repeatedly will still be a focus of this group.
