This one is a cop-out. Probably because Shaw didn't want to really talk about it.
There were 4 minutes to go in the game and KSU was down 13. Basically KSU's only chance was to recover the kickoff. So an onside kick being likely or not we had to have the hands team out. Especially if you are a conservative coach, concentrating on what can go wrong. Gotta believe Alamar has heard about that one.
