That was our first time beating Colorado in many years. Coach Mike stoops called a on sidekick in the middle of the game because we were so confident we were going to beat Colorado.. I was glad to play in Manhattan; because playing up in Boulder was some of the coldest weather EVER!😮
The only reason his arm “seemed wild” was because Snyder’s offense was designed to throw passes downfield. Plus Bishop was playing against strong defenses almost every week in the Big XII. And he still finished 2nd in the Heisman Trophy. Remarkable really when you think about it. If he had played in a Mike Leach style of offense Bishop could have definitely completed about 70% of his passes. 22-3 in his time at K-State.
Thanks for this! Would love to see the '97 game. Snyder's first win against Colorado

Wow, that was an ugly win. Forgot how wild Bishop's arm was. Thanks for posting!

Might be was easily the best quarterback in the country that year.
Interesting, a Big 12 game with defense 😅
