The Collegian sat down with senior quarterback Grant Gregory to talk about the rivalry with Kansas and how he has progressed since being named the starter to open the conference portion of the season.
Q: Do you think the game plan will be different this week with a more air-attack offense since their secondary is a little bit weaker than their front line?
A: Obviously every defense wants to stop the run, and every offense wants to run the ball. Our whole game plan isn’t complete yet, whether we figure it out today or tomorrow, but we will try to do the same thing. At this point in the season, it’s not going to change too much.
Q: With an undefeated home record this year, do you think playing at home motivates the team to play better in front of a home crowd?
A: Things are easier when you play at home. The crowd is behind the defense the whole time. It’s easier to call audibles at the line. That’s why you call it a home-field advantage. We’re 4-0 right now, and an undefeated home season would be great. We want to get a 5-0 at home this week.
Q: What do you think of the KU/K-State rivalry coming from the southeast?
A: It’s either we are 4-2 or 3-3 at the end of this week. There’s a huge difference. Interstate games are for bragging rights. You always see people around with KU or K-State stuff around the state.
Q: How well do you think you’ve fit in with this team now compared to when the season started?
A: Very well. It doesn’t matter where you are; the players love football. They all got to know me and liked me right away.
Q: With this being your last year and how this season has gone so far, do you wish you had one more year to play?
A: I wish I had 10 more years. College football is the best time of our lives. It’s the only thing I ever wanted to do and help a team win. Getting my opportunities has been awesome.
