Let's be clear, the game wasn't lost on the decision to kick the XP.  It was lost in the thousand cuts of bad OL execution in the prior three-plus quarters.  It's not a secret: the OL needs explosiveness off the snap and needs to be able to push aside the front seven at the point of attack when running.  Engage the correctly assigned defender and pancake when passing.  Give the QB as many seconds to throw.  Don't false start twice in a row.  Toss fools around, as Ben Muth says.

Last week, we saw an OL that ran headlong into a stone wall of KSU defenders, and we also saw the same OL give up a fair bit of QB pressure (and QBs who couldn't handle game-speed decision-making under pressure).  

It's gonna be the same guys out there tonight.  Let's hope the results are...different.
