put ona ped-estal.So isUrbanMeyer.Neither,

or any-one else,tops BillSnyder asa college foot-ball coachinggreat.

Snyder bringsanother KansasState football teamto Iowa State today.Which means the Cy-clones will have to playvery well to win becauseSnyders teams are sel-dom unfocused or undis-ciplined.

Snyder is 74, and therearent many 74-year-olds

in college

coaching.Hes notedfor being amasterfulcoordinatorof offensesand devel-oper of quar-terbacks, forworking 18-

hour days, for obsessingover details.

Stan Weber, thecolor commentator onK-States football radiobroadcasts for 28 years,has seen every gameSnyders Wildcats haveplayed. He said all theaforementioned things

and a thousand otherscan be said about thecoach. But heres whathe points to as what sep-arates Snyder from otherpeople:

He doesnt limitanybodys capability,Weber said. Most ofus analyze people, saythey have a likelihoodof doing this or that. Herefuses to do that.

Three of Snyderscaptains are formerwalk-ons. Center B.J.Finney walked on fromtiny Andale, Kan. He isa Rimington Award can-didate who will make his

41st career start today.Linebacker JonathanTruman walked on fromtiny Kechi, Kan. He wassecond on his team intackles last year.

The day Bill Snydersees players, Webersaid, he starts treatingthem like they can playat the highest level. ItsWhy wouldnt they? inhis mind.

I dont think even thekids parents think like
