I actually think the KSU #56 RG blew the play by not engaging Cotton at the LOS.  #56 dropped back as if in pass protection rather than run blocking forward.

I've also heard competing theories on what the unblocked defender should do when confronted with the option.  Do you always force the pitch and hope that your commitment/speed/disruption causes the pitch to go poorly?  Or do you contain the RB and funnel the QB inside where more defenders might make a play?
