We're going to win by 1 and that 2 point conversion when Blake Clark's knee was down will be the difference.

I said something similar after the 1st half of the Baylor game.
The OL was horrible in the first half. Hunter could have played with a lot better, but that last play was a perfect example of how bad the line played.
Have you been actually watching the last five years, we are always within one score and then lose. Go back and look up the loses, overwhelming majority of them are by one score.
To be fair the staff dropped that in favor of playing thru imperfection or something like that.
Silas had some rough blitz pick ups too, and a bad half overall.
People say Sanders is fast but we've never seen it. He seems to go down when people breath on him. I know that's not fair but it's hyperbole.
Agree. Taking the sack was probably the safest thing to do there. I was waiting for a pick 6 as well knowing ISU's luck. Thank God Hunter didn't fumble it.
Everyone blaming Dekkers.
He is young, and lacks experience, but he has the talent.
So in that case you need a line that protects him, gives extra time.
This line is doing the exact opposite.
As a former Lineman I believe the line never gets enough credit, they also do not get enough blame. I look at the line, the line is the basis for everything. If the O line gives protection, then things go good, if the D line gets a good rush then things go good for the D.
In our case the O line is giving Dekkers little to no protection. He has little time. Once a QB (especially a young one) gets hit a few times, he starts hearing footsteps. And that just makes it worse. Dekkers is not a scrambler like Purdy, but he should not have to be. A decent line should be able to give him some protection. They arent.
On the D side our D line is getting worked. We are not getting anyone in the backfield. We are not hurrying the KU QBs, they have a ton of time, they can run, they can throw.
Then you have terrible go nowhere play calls.
This is on the Line/Line coach and the OC calling the plays.
