KSU clearly spent the bulk of their offseason preparing to knock off the SEC Champion.
Snyder all up in your head.
Guy is a defensive genius. AU had 360 yards on Offense and about 100 more in dropped balls. I hope the rest of the SEC Coaches follow his lead.

Linemen paying attention and the OL letting them
FIFY.
Seriously, tell me how the QB is supposed to anticipate a DL who hasn't jumped yet jumping up to block a pass?
The OL have to engage those DL. If all they do is release them then, yeah, they can jump as high as they want.

Aub won on an opposing field versus a quality opponent with a great coach who knows how to game plan, yep, they found a way to win. Superior talent wins 86% of the time irregardless! this was not an exception to that rule. Aub looked less than stellar in doing so, but recall their last NC year, same story, barely beat MSU, CU, SC and others early on until they started that roll. They had the talent. Talent almost always decides the outcomes, almost, not always. KSU roster is filled with great kids who have a ton of heart and refused to quit, but that roster is mostly 2-3 star types, they were playing an Aub team with mostly 4 star talent or better, talent prevails almost 9 out of ten times. It ended as the talent levels said it would.

They had defenders coming through gaps
Yep.
Their LBs *never* dropped into coverage. They shot their assigned gaps every gotdamn play.
And succeeded at it.
And the safeties, though they weren't in the "box" per se every play, played shallow enough to read the play and react to the run damned quickly.

And, in a bit of irony, you almost perfectly described AU's situation when Dye took over 33 years ago and was going up against the likes of Nebraska, Texas, Alabama, UGa, and Tennessee. Back then they had the talent and we had the 2-3 star types.
Except for that one guy...Vincent something...

The whole team also appeared a bit flat while KSU was pumped up for their super bowl.
I gotta believe this played a bigger part than anything they were doing schematically. those guys came out on a whole other level of intensity and we never could find a rhythm and wear them down.

Auburn hasn't ran the same plays as last year. The game was about like State last year where it was the 1st road game and struggled running and won passing. And we seen how that helped everyone shutdown Auburn last year.
Did you drop out of school after the third grade or something?

giving the other team credit for their intensity is an excuse? youre a moron, and for the record giving another team credit for ANYTHING isnt a gump trait in the least. why dont you do us all a favor and stfu while grown folks are talking.

Just for the record to the people calling Snyder a defensive guru... he's an offensive coach by trade. He's actually one of the fathers of the spread option offense.

LOL, it's true. The circlejerk would have been unbelievable if they'd won.
You can keep defending your Big XII bros though, that's a good look for Mizzou.
