Snyder is as good as they come in terms of just playing smart football and letting a more talented team beat itself. There comes a point where the talent gap simply becomes too big for that to work. This game is a great example of that. MSU brought their C game at best, and the penalties and borderline calls have all gone KSU's way (11 penalties to 0, 2 fumbles both recovered by the Cats, overturned fumble call, FG off the crossbar) and it's still a beating.
