So...that happened.
Kansas State lost 26-13 to Oklahoma State in Stillwater last night, and honestly, the game was not as close as the scoreline suggests. The Wildcats showed up flat, did not execute well, and were never really in the game.
As Jon Morse notes in the official BotC recap, this game featured a number of dubious firsts. It was the first time the Pokes had beaten the Wildcats by more than 10 since 1988. There are various explanations for the performance, most focusing on a lack of depth, lack of talent, and the like, but I’m going to stick to just one: the coaching.
