6) What do you view, if any, as the differences between Snyder 1.0 and Snyder 2.0?

All kinds of differences between 1.0 and 2.0. Snyder 1.0 was all about finding talent however he could to win games. They legitimately out-talented people. He was also very revolutionary in the way his teams played offense.

He started running essentially a spread attack in the mid 90s when everyone else was stuck in the I formation. Then he revolutionized the QB run game with Michael Bishop and Ell Roberson.

Snyder 2.0 is much more conservative and isn’t nearly as interested in trying to recruit the best talent that he can find.

7) Are the current struggles fixable or something the Wildcats will be dealing with throughout the 2018 season?

I think these problems will be there all year. I have a hard time finding more than two more wins this year. They’re only going to be favored in the Kansas game. So I see the bowl streak ending at 8 this year.

8) Who should fans look for on the game on Saturday against Texas?

The biggest thing to accomplish on Saturday is just getting some confidence offensively. However that happens, with Delton or Thompson, they need to prove they can score and be competitive in a game against a power five team. The offense has just one TD against power five teams this year and that came on a 23 yard short field set up by a turnover.
