1) Yes, that was the most deflated the crowd has been all season.
2) BECAUSE it was cold and the offense was utterly disappointing. 13 points and a single FG in the 2nd half is why the crowd wasn’t into it. K State was much the same until the scoop and score, at which point pandemonium ensued and lasted throughout the game.
3) Look all over the country at late night November crowds particularly in cold weather states you’ll find far far worse. This was a great showing from cougar nation.
4) Crowd was fine. Did its job disrupting Kansas and causing at least a couple penalties. Team did not deliver the excitement.
