So that happened. On a day when the offense and defense played well enough to pull off a victory, Kansas State did not live up to its reputation on special teams, and a series of miscues led to a 14-13 loss to TCU.
As Luke Sobba notes—with his usual eloquence—there isn’t really much left to say. The offense played well enough to win, the defense played well enough to win, but the Wildcats still managed to lose. This time around, the difference between a win and a loss were three miscues on special teams.
