Defense still seems weak but the score was closer than the game.

Yeah, take away the special teams blunder that gave up a kick return and the free 3 points off the Cure fumble and this is a blowout.

And if we had taken the points instead of going for it twice

Special teams, ball security, and smart coaching decisions are all important parts of being a good team though.

Regardless a W is a W but let’s stop pretending we can just take away vital parts of what makes a good football team (am unfortunately well aware KU is awful in all 3 of those categories as well)

“If Isaiah Marshall had just not thrown that 4th quarter interception and if our defense had just gotten a couple more stops, we would have won” I mean it sounds silly right?

You should hang on to Marshall because he could be great next year
