Hard as it was for Kansas State defenders to play through a 37-34 loss at Baylor last week in which the Wildcats surrendered 557 yards and 38 first downs, things only got more frustrating as they watched replays of the game and analyzed what went wrong.
There were ugly numbers that didn’t even show up on the stat sheet. The ugliest one of all: 23 missed tackles.
That was K-State’s biggest issue against the Bears. The Wildcats were in position to prevent several big plays, but Baylor’s skill players slipped away too often and gained 171 yards after contact.
