Y'know it's funny, we've had several QBs who did just that and if memory serves they spent quite a bit of time running for their lives. There were whole years where I wondered if pass blocking was one of those things on page 900 of Snyder's playbook that they didn't get around to practicing more than once or twice a season. I'm not so sure that the pass blocking (run blocking is a different story) isn't as good as normal, we just have a QB who exposes what normal has been around here.
You're trying to apply two different systems here. By design, Snyder had created an offense around a mobile QB and recruited that kind of QB for the system. Since Bishop came along, pass blocking was not so much about keeping them away from the QB so much as it was to force them out and open up running lanes, and in some cases, that was by design. Sure, there were sacks and other instances where the QB got nailed after he threw the ball. That kind of breakdown isn't exactly something that was exclusive to KSU at all. KSU took advantage of that possibility on more than one occassion, with Snyder using the slip screen (aka Jailbreak screen) when the defense set up for an all out blitz, or checking to a short option or some other design play where the blockers would just push people enough to open lanes for running.
It's about knowing how to react to a defense, and understanding what your options are.
