K-State Football: Good, Bad, Ugly Vs Texas Longhorns

BAD: OFFENSIVE LINE (AND OTHER BLOCKERS)

On the flip side, K-State allowed three sacks in 26 dropbacks. They also allowed a total of eight tackles for loss on 39 rushing attempts. I’ve attached “other blockers” here, because combined with the o-line and the fullback, these units were responsible for most of the seven penalties for 70 yards K-State racked up.

Generally, the offensive line can get blamed for lots of things that maybe isn’t their fault. If the wide receivers don’t get open and there is a coverage sack, it counts against the o-line, but it’s really on the wide receivers.

If the quarterback doesn’t throw the ball away, it’s the same thing. Or, if the offense continues to run the ball against nine man fronts, they will get tackled behind the line of scrimmage more often than if they didn’t.

All of these apply here. However, I suspect most of the players in this group would all suggest they could do better.
