Gibson shifts K-State to veer-T offense for Grogan
Coach Gibson plans a triple option veer T offense led by quarterback Steve Grogan of Ottawa. Grogan is tall but not elite at running or throwing, though he can do both. Ed Johndrow improves at receiver, while backs Isaac Jackson, Don Calhoun, Dave Specht and Bill Holman provide depth. Grogan is the focal point as the team rebuilds after a rough previous season and many players left.
