We haven't the last two games (7 vs ISU and 9 vs UT).
Part of this I think is transitioning from patsies to solid foes - vs. patsies there's no doubt Riley was planning on resting Mayfield in the 2nd half...does that lead to a bad-habit mindset in general in the 2nd half? And you know he thought Mayfield would even be pulled vs Baylor going into that game and sure enough we only score 7 in the 3rd (but score twice in the 4th in an unexpected dogfight vs. a terrible team). ISU looked like another example, especially with their starting QB out, that we wouldn't need a strong second half effort.
From here on out, even vs. KU, we need to game plan to step on people's throats in the 3rd quarter, and finish. And I hope that starts today vs. KSU, a potential trap game.
Three words: half-time adjustments. Let's see them Riley.
