Thinking some combo of the following:
—Hill goes all in on stopping the run and it works—at least well enough to keep us in the game vs. an elite K-state rushing attack
—We come up with an early INT, sewing doubt in the QB’s mind and making Cats 1-dimensional
—Retzlaff turns in his best performance in taking care of and delivering the ball….
—Just as consequentially, we win the battle of the explosive plays. We hit a couple big strike scores that keep us ahead and make K-state grind it out in the altitude with the crowd fully weighing in
