Close Calls
It seems every season there are games that come down to the wire and one team gets a last second win over another. Below are the closest games per year in KSL history.
KSL also keeps records of largest gaps but has changed since point totals are different to reflect the times. For example, in 2006 an IDP safety was worth 70 points. We have since widdled that down to a more reasonable 6. Also, Kicker and DST points have changed so the scores of 400 points per game are things of the past and most end up in the 200-250 point range.
During the 2014 season, we saw 4 games that were decided by less than 1 point. This was the most in KSL History. In 2015 we saw Erik VanHyfte have 2 close games the same year that are currently the 2 closest in KSL History.
