Last week’s game against Texas was disappointing in that the final score was close, but a closer look reveals how unlikely it was that K-State was within striking distance at the end.
Texas outgained K-State by 173 yards
K-State gained 138 of its 304 total yards on its first two drives
K-State scored on a kickoff return
K-State gained a third of its 45 yards on its final drive on the penalty for Jalen Green’s vicious hit on Wykeen Gill
The broadcasters aptly pointed out that once Texas stopped giving K-State’s receivers 10-yard cushions and stopped breaking down in coverage via all-out blitzes, the Wildcats found it difficult to move the ball.
