From early in the season.
The ISU running game cannot just line up and pound the ball at anyone especially when Kansas knew what's coming.
Because even when getting 4 yards on a run....we can't run it for 2 downs and get a 1st. Kansas knew that.
The oline blocked well regardless. Many big holes on tape.....we needed a running back to hit the holes hard. They didn't have a good game.
Kansas is well coached. There were some plays they made because they are well coached.
Example.
1. Option fake to seal it. Terrible play by Freyler amd thompson again....easy read as Kansas lineman just stood up. Freyler just flying up has no clue like earlier this year.
Kansas receiver starts toward the middle of the field but bows back toward his sideline on the route to stay away from Verdon. Great route and gave him the extra space he needed
2. Pick play to seal the game. Great execution. Outside receiver pushes up the field into the inside ISU dback opens the easy out route for game sealing play. Official was never going to call it anyway because they were clueless but it was run well even though the receiver grabbed the isu dback a little as he ran by. Purchase begging for the call.
3. Blitzed at key times to put pressure on Becht. ISU offense helped them here by being predictable early but credit to them. They knew what was coming because it was obvious and made calls accordingly.
ISU gave this game away by playing down to their opponent again on offense. We thought stupidly we could just run for huge yards.
That's never been a winning game plan for ISU. It's beyond frustrating to watch this first half bs again. Players have no chance to succeed.
