At Kansas State, Bill Snyder Shares a Bond With His Son Sean

Bill Snyder, now in his 21st season as the head coach at Kansas State, has passed on his knowledge of football to his son Sean, who is the associate head coach and director of football operations.

Quotable:

Practicing against 360-pound All-American Terrence Cody in 2008-09 and 320-pound Jesse Williams the past two years in practice has helped, Jones said.

“I know will be a challenge,” Jones said. “I’ve really been impressed with his hands and quickness. He’s a little more than just like a space heater. He’s a good player, plays with good quickness. I’m going to have to bring my ‘A’ game, but I’ve been working hard and preparing for it.”

Jones was asked if keeping McCarron from getting hit is an increased priority.

"Oh, I think AJ's knee is fine, first of all, so not really," Jones said. "Certainly any time we want to protect AJ, and we've done an all right job of keeping him clean, even though he complains any time he gets hit. You know how quarterbacks are.

"We'll try and keep him clean to the best of our abilities."
