Your wife's agonizing over our defense hints at how awful a good game can look when you care deeply about the outcome: every few yards surrendered looks like ten yards.
And if she was agonizing in the second half, that illustrates it even more vividly. On its first six possessions of the second half, the Wildcats gained only 100 yards and averaged only 3.03 yards per play. And if you take out their scoring drive for their field goal--which took 15 plays to get 68 yards, their five drives gained a total of 32 yards in 18 plays--an average "drive" of 3.6 plays, 6.4 yards. That might be horrific offense--K State fans probably think so--but our funnel and canopy more resembled, for most of that game, a vise.
