Snyder runs his program based on 16 goals, fairly simple concepts such as "Responsibility," "Expect to Win," "Eliminate Mistakes" and so on. Another is "No Self-Limitations," a creed that tends to build up players into more than others once expected from them.
It's from there that a team of often lightly recruited or overlooked players is capable of laying woodshed beatings on the powers of the Big 12, capable of rolling into the Appalachians and scoring on its first eight possessions against the nation's 13th-ranked team while harassing former Heisman favorite Geno Smith into four sacks, two interceptions and a week (at least) of nightmares.
This wasn't just some upset (although the odds said so). This was a mismatch.
"No self-limitations," Snyder said. "There shouldn't be for me, there shouldn't be for any of our players. However you may or may not have been today, tomorrow there isn't any reason you can't be better. That's just what we do."
Everyone wants to know how Snyder does it. How he does what no one else has ever done. How he gets K-State to climb this high.
"You talk about the 16 goals," he said. "I believe our players embrace those values, and that's true to what they are. They are the same values that you teach your son or your daughter. It's not rocket science. It's just things I believe personally, and I think our players do, that allow people to become successful whether its life, business, community."
