Why in the world did K State kick a FG down 31-6?

At that point. Even if they scored again. It's still a 4 possession game either

A surprising number of coaches prefer sad field goals to risking it for a touchdown

The chance of scoring a TD on 4th and 11 were very slim.

Yeah. By the FG is meaningless. It’s just a sad trombone

I’d say the chances are better you come back from down 25+ with attempting the TD. 3 points will get you no where.
