With construction of the new Vanier Football Complex presenting logistical and safety issues for both the K-State football team and fans to hold the annual spring football game at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, the 2015 Purple/White Spring Game will be held Saturday, April 25, in Kansas City’s Sporting Park, the award-winning facility and home of Sporting Kansas City. Sporting Park was the most reasonable and creative solution for K-State to play its spring game while construction continues at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. In order to move the contest to an outside venue and be permitted to host prospective student-athletes, the department received a one-time waiver from the NCAA due to the ongoing construction at Bill Snyder Family Stadium and safety concerns.
TICKETS At time of print, standing-room only, Bud Light Landing and Field Club tickets were available for the game. Standing-room only tickets are priced at $10 for public and $5 for for groups of 20 or more and $5 for K-State students. In the Bud Light Landing, which located in the SW corner of the stadium, tickets are priced at $75 apiece and includes an exclusive game day buffet as well as soft drinks, water and beer (for fans 21 and over). Field Club seats range from $150 to $175 and provides the best seats in Sporting Park. This option also includes complimentary food and beverage service throughout the game. Field Club

• Not only is their familiarity among the K-State coaches, but there are multiple previous connections between Wildcat players prior to their time in Manhattan. • There are 17 occurrences where current Wildcats played on the same team in either high school or community college. • The 17 connections involve 38 different players, approximately 31-percent of the 124 players that are on spring roster or signed with K-State in 2015. • Two of the more interesting connections have come in the last two signing classes as three players from Blue Springs High School - Elijah Lee, Kaleb Prewett and Dalvin Warmack - each signed with K-State in 2014. The 2015 class featured three players from Tucker (Ga.) High School in Justin Hughes, Duke Shelley and Elijah Sullivan.
• Kansas State announced its 15 player representatives for the 2015 season in mid-March as Dante Barnett, Travis Britz, Morgan Burns, Jack Cantele, Dalton Converse, Kody Cook, Will Davis, Glenn Gronkowski, Luke Hayes, Joe Hubener, Matthew McCrane, Boston Stiverson, Stanton Weber, Cody Whitehair and Jordan Willis were chosen by their teammates. • Britz, a senior defensive tackle, was chosen for a third-straight season, while Barnett, Cantele, Converse, Stiverson and Whitehair are serving their second terms. • The 2015 team captains will likely be selected from these group of individuals.

KState fans purchased 4,958 tickets on the first day season tickets went on sale, eclipsing last year’s first-day record of 4,330, while 1,623 tickets ordered on the first day were from new requests.
• K-State has usually had success coming off bowl seasons. • The Wildcats had played in 17 bowl games in program history prior to 2014, and K-State has followed a bowl season with another bowl berth 14 times, each coming under head coach Bill Snyder. •The only three times K-State had a losing season following a bowl trip occurred in 1983 (3-8) after the Independence Bowl, in 2004 after the Fiesta Bowl (4-7) and in 2007 (5-7) after the Texas Bowl. • K-State will be looking to make its sixth-straight bowl appearance in 2015 for the first time since the end of an 11-year bowl stretch in 2003.

REPLACING THE RECEIVING CORPS • Similar to the quarterback position, multiple players must step up at wide receiver after losing all-time leading receiver Tyler Lockett and another 1,000-yard receiver in Curry Sexton. • The duo was the first pair of receivers in school history to top 1,000 yards in a season, while they accounted for 68.9-percent of the school-record 3,736 passing yards. • With the departure of Lockett and Sexton, only 18.7-percent of last year’s receiving yards return, led by senior Kody Cook and junior Deante Burton. • Kyle Klein, who had five catches for 59 yards in 2013, has returned to full strength after missing all of 2014 with an injury.

IT’S ALL ABOUT FAMILY
PICK ME • Over the last 34 contests K-State has recorded multiple interceptions in a game, the Wildcats hold a 29-5 record. • The Wildcats are a perfect 9-0 over the last two seasons when recording two or more interceptions. • K-State has at least one pick in 15 of the last 20 games. • In 2014, K-State tallied four in the win over Texas Tech, while the Wildcats had two against Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, West Virginia and Kansas. • Dante Barnett leads all current Wildcats with seven career interceptions, while senior Morgan Burns came away with three in his first year starting at cornerback in 2014.
NOTES CATS TOPS IN NON-OFFENSIVE TDS
BARNETT READY TO LEAD DEFENSE
WILDCATS WHEN (2014)...
• The Cats are the nation’s best in non-offensive touchdowns over the last 15 seasons as they have 95 since 1999. • Since 1990, K-State is 52-16 when scoring on special teams and 19-1 when scoring on special teams and defense, including a 17-0 mark under Bill Snyder. • Tyler Lockett had a 58-yard punt return for a score against UTEP last season, which was the first non-offensive score for the Cats in 2014 and also Lockett’s first career punt return score. He then added a second punt-return touchdown at West Virginia. • Danzel McDaniel added a pick-six at Oklahoma for the Cats’ second non-offensive score of the year, while Morgan Burns returned a kickoff 86 yards against Oklahoma State.
• Senior safety Dante Barnett has started a Wildcat defensivebest 28 career games, including all 26 over the past two seasons. • He became the first K-State safety in over 10 years to start every game over a two-year period. • Barnett also leads all K-State defenders with 176 career tackles as he is 74 stops away from becoming the 27th player in school history with 250 career tackles. • The 2014 Second Team All-Big 12 performer also has seven career interceptions, just three shy of entering the school’s top10 list.

Non-Off. TDs 95 89 87 80
KICKOFF-RETURN STREAK • The Cats have returned a kickoff for a touchdown in each of the last 10 seasons, which is the most in the nation. • Auburn is second on the list by doing so six-straight seasons, while Northern Illinois and Florida are tied for third with five apiece. • Morgan Burns kept the streak alive last season with an 86-yard return score against Oklahoma State.
BLOCK PARTY • K-State has ranked in the top 20 nationally in blocked kicks three of the last four seasons, including the 2013 campaign when the Wildcats led the nation with five. • Since head coach Bill Snyder’s return in 2009, the Wildcats have averaged 3.3 blocked kicks per year, while they have had at least three blocks in five of those six seasons. • Over the last two seasons, Travis Britz has five blocked kicks - including a national-leading four in 2013 - to tie the school’s career record. He is tied with Raphael Guidry, who had five alone in 2011. • Britz’s lone blocked kick last year was a big one when he got his hands on a fourth-quarter PAT at Oklahoma, which helped K-State earn a 31-30 victory. • The two other blocked kicks in 2014 were a punt by Deante Burton against UTEP and a PAT against Kansas by DeAndre Roberts.
JONES HAS NOSE FOR END ZONE • Running back Charles Jones had a knack of finding the end zone in 2014 as he ranked third in the Big 12 and 26th nationally with 13 rushing touchdowns, including 11 out of the “Wildcat” formation. • His total was just outside the school’s top-10 list as he finished two shy of a tie for 10th. • If he duplicates his total in 2015, Jones will finish the year tied for seventh in school history in career rushing touchdowns.
BRITZ LOOKING TO BOUNCE BACK • A two-time Honorable Mention All-Big 12 defensive tackle, Travis Britz will be looking to bounce back from an injury that cut his junior season short. • A career 23-game starter, Britz was on pace to set career highs in tackles for loss and sacks before missing the final three games of the 2014 season. • In addition, Britz was playing his best right before the injury as he had a career-best seven tackles at TCU prior to three TFLs and two sacks against Oklahoma State. • He tied the school record with his fifth career blocked kick on an extra point at Oklahoma, one that helped preserve a one-point K-State victory.
MCCRANE READY WHEN NEEDED • Matthew McCrane was thrown into the fire in the middle of his redshirt freshman season and didn’t looked back. • The Brownwood, Texas, native made 18-of-19 (.947) field goals to lead the nation. • His total included a perfect 11-for-11 mark on kicks from 30 yards or greater, as well as a pair of 50-plus yard makes. • He was the first Wildcat kicker since 2005 to make two 50-yarders in a season, while he is the first freshman in school history to accomplish the feat. • McCrane also broke the school’s freshman record for points with 95, shattering the previous record of 56 points by Martin Gramatica in 1994. Gramatica went on to win the Lou Groza Award in 1997.
WALSH RUNS AWAY WITH PUNTING DUTIES • Much like Matthew McCrane, punter Nick Walsh was given an opportunity during the second game of 2014 and held on to the starting job the remainder of the season. • Walsh showed both a strong leg with nine punts traveling 50 or more yards - including a 56-yarder vs. Auburn - and good situational punting with 15 landing inside the 20. • He saved his best punting for the end of the season by averaging a career-best 49.2 yards per punt against UCLA in the Alamo Bowl, including two that traveled at least 50 yards. • Walsh also pinned Oklahoma inside its own 10-yard line on two occasions, including one on the two-yard line before Danzel McDaniel recorded a pick-six on the next play.
GRONK CAN GO THE DISTANCE • Fullback Glenn Gronkowski became a major receiving threat out of the backfield as a redshirt freshman, and that trend continued in the 2014 season. • The 2014 First Team All-Big 12 performer has 293 yards on only 10 career catches with four touchdowns. • Three of Gronkowski’s touchdown receptions have gone for 50 or more yards, including a 62-yarder last season at Oklahoma.

POSITIONAL BREAKDOWN QUARTERBACKS K-State will be in search of a new quarterback due to the departure of two-year starter Jake Waters, an All-Big 12 performer as a senior in 2014. First in line to take over the starting spot will be junior Joe Hubener and sophomore Jesse Ertz. Hubener was the primary backup last season as he played in seven games, throwing for 235 yards and one touchdown, while he rushed 27 times for 142 yards. He came to K-State originally as a walk-on but was awarded a scholarship in the past year. Ertz saw time in four games, rushing seven times for 46 yards, but he did not attempt a pass. In 2013, he was the Red Raider Award winner as the top contributor on the scout team. Other quarterbacks in the mix are sophomore Taylor Laird, redshirt freshman Zach Davidson and true freshman Alex Delton. Laird was a community-college transfer prior to the 2014 season, while Davidson was a member of the 2014 recruiting class. Delton, an in-state product, graduated high school early and enrolled at K-State in January.

CHARLES JONES
Although 2014 starter DeMarcus Robinson graduated, the cupboard is not bare at the running back position with juniors Charles Jones and Jarvis Leverett returning, while redshirt freshman Dalvin Warmack and true freshman Alex Barnes will also compete for playing time. Jones was the leading rusher last season with 540 yards while he ranked third in the Big 12 with 13 rushing touchdowns. Leverett saw time in four games, rushing for 67 yards on 20 carries. Warmack was one of the top prep running backs in 2014 after being named a two-time Missouri Gatorade Player of the Year. Barnes, an in-state product, graduated high school early and enrolled in January. The Wildcats also return two-time All-Big 12 fullback Glenn Gronkowski, who has been a stout blocker and a receiving threat out of the backfield during his first two seasons. He has averaged 29.3 yards on his 10 career receptions with four touchdowns. Redshirt freshman Winston Dimel will also be in the mix for playing time.
OFFENSIVE LINE One area on the 2015 squad that is not void of experience is along the offensive line as the group returns 51 of a possible 65 total starts. Three 13-game starters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; left tackle Cody Whitehair, left guard Boston Stiverson and right tackle Matt Kleinsorge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are back, while 12-game starter Luke Hayes returns at right guard. Whitehair is a three-time All-Big 12 performer, and Stiverson picked up honorable mention accolades last year. The Wildcats must replace All-American center B.J. Finney, but they have multiple options beginning with senior Reed Bergstrom, the primary back in 2014. One player to keep an eye on could also be redshirt freshman Dalton Risner. Others providing depth and battling for playing time at tackle are senior Aaron Bennett, sophomore Ajahne Brager and redshirt freshmen Bryce Fitzner and Alec Ruth. At guard, juniors Will Ash, A.J. Allen and Terrale Johnson along with sophomore Reid Najvar will contend for playing time in 2015.

POSITIONAL BREAKDOWN WIDE RECEIVERS The one position group that perhaps took the biggest hit was wide receiver with the loss of two All-Big 12 performers in Tyler Lockett and Curry Sexton, the former being named an AllAmerican. The duo each topped the 1,000-yard barrier as they accounted for 69-percent of the receiving yards in 2014. Looking to pick up the reigns will be seniors Kody Cook and Andre Davis along with junior Deante Burton and sophomore Judah Jones. Cook, a former community-college walk-on, is the top returner with 251 yards and a touchdown on 20 receptions, while Burton hauled in 17 receptions for 171 yards. Davis saw limited playing time as a former community-college transfer, while Jones got his feet wet as a redshirt freshman in 2014. Others looking to make an impact are seniors Stanton Weber and Kyle Klein – the latter who was out last year with an injury – and junior Steven West. Redshirt freshman Dominique Heath developed last year while true freshman Zach Reuter originally signed in 2014 but deferred his enrollment until January.
NOTABLES IN SPRING CAMP Kody Cook, 6-1, 196, Sr.-1L Andre Davis, 6-0, 185, Sr.-1L Kyle Klein, 6-4, 210, Sr.-2L Stanton Weber, 6-0, 182, Sr.-3L Deante Burton, 6-2, 205, Jr.-2L Steven West, 6-0, 196, Jr.-1L Judah Jones, 5-11, 180, So.-1L Dominique Heath, 5-9, 185, Fr.-RS Zach Reuter, 6-3, 190, Fr.-HS

CODY SMALL
The Wildcats will also be breaking in a new starter at tight end after the departure of two-year starter Zach Trujillo. Trujillo finished his career with 26 receptions for 572 yards and three touchdowns, including a career-best season of 19 catches for 389 yards and two scores as a senior. Cody Small, who played in three games as a redshirt freshman, will be first in line to replace Trujillo. Small played in three games last season, but he did not record any catches. Dayton Valentine, who originally signed with K-State in 2013 but deferred his enrollment, redshirted last season as he has used the last two years to gain weight and develop, and the in-state product could be poised for a breakout season in 2015. The Wildcats added a walk-on tight end from the community-college ranks in January in the form of Curtis Stallbaumer. A product of Baileyville, Kansas, Stallbaumer was primarily a blocking tight end at Hutchinson CC over the last two years, helping the Blue Dragons win 11 games in 2014.
DEFENSIVE LINE One of the anchors of the defensive line, tackle Travis Britz, returns for his senior season after missing the final three games of 2014 due to injury. The two-time All-Big 12 performer has 23 starts over the past two seasons, including 10 last year when he had 27 tackles and the first three sacks of his career. A spot starter last year, Will Geary returns for his sophomore year, while Demonte Hood and Terrell Clinkscales will also battle for significant playing time. At defensive end, 13-game starter Jordan Willis is back on one side, while senior Marquel Bryant will look to make an impact after playing in 25 games over the last two years, including two starts in 2013. Bryant will look to continue the momentum he showed at the end of last year as he had four tackles for loss and three sacks over the final four games. Sophomore Tanner Wood and true freshman Joshua Little – who graduated high school early and enrolled in January – will also battle for time in the playing rotation.

POSITIONAL BREAKDOWN LINEBACKERS Despite the loss of All-Big 12 performer Jonathan Truman, the Wildcats return experience at linebacker beginning with junior Will Davis, who played in all 13 games with six starts. The Wildcats also bring back Charmeachealle Moore, who played in the opener but missed the rest of the year due to injury. Special teams stalwart Colborn Couchman, who has a team-best 19 career special teams tackles, will look to contribute more on defense, while a pair of sophomores, Elijah Lee and Trent Tanking, will attempt to take a step forward in their second seasons on the field. Lee was a true freshman last year who played primarily at rush end on third downs and came away with 4.5 sacks, the most by a true freshman in school history. Tanking excelled on special teams but also shined in late-game duty when he had two TFLs against Oklahoma State. Others in the mix for playing time will be redshirt freshman Sam Sizelove and true freshman Justin Hughes, who originally signed in 2014 but deferred his enrollment until this January.

DANTE BARNETT
The back end of the defense will be led by career 28-game starter Dante Barnett at safety, but the Wildcats also return 2014 13-game starter Danzel McDaniel and 12-game starter Morgan Burns at cornerback. Barnett and McDaniel were both Second Team All-Big 12 performers last season, while Burns had three interceptions in addition to ranking third in the league with a 30.7-yard kickoff return average. A new nickleback must be found with the departure of threeyear starter Randall Evans, but senior Nate Jackson and junior Donnie Starks may fill that role. Jackson could also fill the other safety position with sophomores Sean Newlan and Kaleb Prewett also competing for that spot. Both players made significant contributions on special teams in 2014. Junior Jesse Mack and sophomore Cre Moore played sparingly in 2014 but will look to take a step forward, while redshirt freshmen Kendall Adams and Colby Moore will try to contribute on both defense and special teams.
SPECIALISTS The Wildcats specialists should be in good hands over the next few years as place kicker Matthew McCrane and punter Nick Walsh return for their sophomore seasons. Neither started the year atop the depth chart but both were called on early in the year and ran away with the jobs. McCrane made 18-of-19 field goals on the year and led the nation with a 94.7 field goal percentage en route to Honorable Mention All-America honors. His starting job wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come easy, as Jack Cantele will look to retain his spot from two years ago. Walsh appeared in the second game of the season and took hold of the primary punter spot by averaging 41.3 yards per punt with nine traveling at least 50 yards and 15 landing inside the 20-yard line. He will be challenged again by another sophomore, Mitch Lochbihler. Senior Dalton Converse and sophomore Drew Scott will continue to battle for long snapper duties in 2015, a year after both snapped throughout the year.

HEAD COACH BILL SNYDER
HEAD COACH
BILL SNYDER
24th Season at K-State
College Football
Hall of Fame Class of 2015
Five-Time National Coach of the Year Precise. Intense. Tireless. Accomplished. Dedicated. Caring. Hall of Famer. Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder is all of these and much more. To understand the full picture of Snyder, it is necessary to acknowledge his values, sincerity and warmth, along with the concern he shows for the people around him – all qualities that solidify his reputation as an innovator and mentor in college athletics. The architect of the “greatest turnaround in college football history” returned to the sidelines in 2009 with hopes of revitalizing a program that he once built, piece by piece, into a national force. And, after six seasons back in charge, he has done just that – and then some. Over the past six years under Snyder, K-State has totaled 51 victories – an average of 8.5 wins per year – advanced to five-straight bowl games, won a conference championship in 2012 and finished third or better in the ultra-competitive Big 12 Conference in three of the last four seasons. Additionally, the Wildcats have more Big 12 wins since 2011 – 27 – than any other team in the conference. However, the recent success should come as no surprise as Snyder took over a program in 1989 that was in the midst of a 27-game winless streak and turned it into a national contender that advanced to 11-straight bowl games and tallied six 11win seasons over a seven-year stretch. Turning around a program not only once, but twice, is one of the biggest reasons why Snyder became just the fourth person all-time to be elected to the College Football Hall of Fame as an active coach. The man who said, ‘No,’ to those who said it couldn’t be done in Manhattan, Kansas, will be enshrined in the hall in December 2015. The latest chapter in the career of the legendary coach was in 2014, Snyder’s 23rd year at the helm of the program, which saw the Wildcats collect their 13th season with nine or more wins and top-20 finish in the Associated Press poll. The Cats reached the top 10 during the season with a 7-1 start as K-State’s lone early-season loss come at the hands of No. 5 Auburn. Led by Consensus All-American wide receiver Tyler Lockett, who became the school’s first four-time All-American and school record holder for career catches, receiving yards
and receiving touchdowns, the Cats played for a Big 12 Championship in the final weekend of the regular season. A total of 14 players earned All-Big 12 honors in 2014 while Lockett was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year for the second straight season and four-year starter B.J. Finney was Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year. Finney joined Lockett by earning All-America honors at center, while redshirt freshman place kicker Matthew McCrane was an honorable mention All-American. Act Two of the renowned career started in 2009 when the Wildcats went 6-6 prior to a 7-5 campaign in 2010 and a berth in the inaugural Pinstripe Bowl. K-State’s climb back into the nation picture continued in 2011 as the Cats went 10-3, finished No. 8 in the BCS standings and earned their first Cotton Bowl invitation since 2001. The bar was raised again in 2012 as Snyder led the Cats to their third conference championship in school history and first since 2003. Kansas State, which won its first 10 games of the season and finished the regular season at 11-1 with an 8-1 mark in Big 12 play, tied the school record for overall wins and conference victories while also ascending to No. 1 in the BCS rankings following its 10-0 start. Snyder went on to win the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award as well as top Big 12 coach honors for the second straight season following the Cats’ memorable 2012 season that culminated with a berth in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Quarterback Collin Klein became just the second player in school history to be named a Heisman Trophy finalist, while a school-record 20 Wildcats earned 2012 All-Big 12 honors including Klein (Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year), Arthur Brown (Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year) and Meshak Williams (Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year). In 2013, K-State opened the year 2-4 with all four defeats being by 10 points or less. But Snyder’s charges continued to improve each week and went on to become just the fourth team in Big 12 history to bounce back from the slow start to become bowl-eligible. And, with a victory over Michigan in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, the 2013 Wildcats became just the eighth FBS team in the BCS era to earn eight wins after starting a season 2-4 or worse.

HEAD COACH BILL SNYDER In 2011, Snyder’s Wildcats jumped out to a 7-0 start – the best in 12 years – which included big wins at Miami, against 15thranked Baylor and at Texas Tech. Following a two-game skid to a pair of nationally-ranked teams, the Wildcats got back into the win column with a thrilling four-overtime victory over Texas A&M – the longest conference game in Big 12 history – before ending the year with wins at Texas and against Iowa State. For his efforts in 2011, Snyder was named the Woody Hayes National Coach of the Year, as well as picking up national coaching honors from Sporting News, Rivals.com and CBSSports.com, and the Big 12 Coach of the Year by the AP and league’s coaches. He also tutored 11 players to All-Big 12 honors, including the Defensive Newcomer of the Year in Brown and the Offensive Freshman of the Year in Lockett, who, along with Nigel Malone, was named a Walter Camp All-American. In 2010, Snyder’s Wildcats jumped out to a 5-1 start, which included big wins over UCLA, Conference USA Champion UCF and Iowa State, behind All-Big 12 running back Daniel Thomas, who became the fastest Wildcat in school history (in terms of games) to rush for 1,000 yards. In his first season back as the head man of the Wildcat program, Snyder led the Wildcats to a 6-6 record in 2009 and a second-place finish in the Big 12 North. In fact, K-State was just one win away from advancing to the Big 12 Championship game as the Wildcats played at Nebraska in the regular-season finale with a championship game berth on the line. K-State claimed more First Team All-Big 12 selections on offense than any other school with four. Thomas, the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, led the league in rushing, while Nick Stringer, Jeron Mastrud and Brandon Banks also garnered First Team All-Big 12 accolades. Named the 32nd head football coach at K-State on Nov. 30, 1988, and again as the 34th on Nov. 24, 2008, Snyder has amassed a 187-94-1 (.665) record during his tenure with the Wildcats, including a 109-71-1 (.605) mark in Big 8/12 games. His 187 victories are more than four times the man in second place on K-State’s all-time coaching victories list and rank 32nd in FBS history. But to fully understand the turnaround ushered in by Snyder at Kansas State one must only consider that the Wildcats had not won a game in the two previous seasons prior to his arrival. It also took K-State 51 seasons (1938-1988) to total just 130 wins, while the 12 head coaches prior to Snyder’s arrival in Manhattan combined to win just 116 games from 1945-1988. Snyder led Kansas State to 11-straight bowl berths between the 1993 and 2003 seasons, making K-State one of only seven programs in the nation to appear in the postseason every year during that stretch. During that span, Snyder’s Wildcats won nearly 80 percent of their games, chalking up 109 victories – a staggering average of nearly 10 wins per season – and making Kansas State the nation’s second-winningest program over that period. And Snyder continued to break new ground with the Wildcats. Kansas State’s 35-7 victory over top-ranked Oklahoma in the 2003 Big 12 Championship game lifted K-State to its first conference championship since Pappy Waldorf’s 1934 squad and secured the school’s first BCS bowl berth in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. With an 11-4 record in 2003, K-State was the only team in the country to win 11 games in six of the previous seven years and just the second program in the history of college football to win 11 games six times in a seven-year stretch. Snyder’s unprecedented success in 23 years at Kansas State has not gone unnoticed. He has been named the National Coach of the Year on five occasions (1991, 1994, 1998, 2011 and 2012). He has been a finalist for the prestigious Bear Bryant/FWAA National Coach of the Year Award in 1993, 1995, 2011 and 2012, while winning the award in 1998; a finalist for the Football News National Coach of the Year Award in 1995 and 1998; and a finalist for the AFCA National Coach of the Year Award in 1993 and 1998. In 1993, he joined legendary Nebraska head coach Bob Devaney as the only head coaches in Big Eight history to be named Associated Press Big Eight Coach of the Year three times in a fouryear period (1990, 1991 and 1993).
Since the inception of the Big 12 Conference, Snyder’s Wildcats truly have been a dominant force in the league, ranking in the top three in overall Big 12 wins. Kansas State also won more Big 12 road games than any team in the league during Snyder’s first tenure and advanced to the championship game three times. Those facts alone demonstrate the continuing evolution of a power in the Big 12 and with it the recognition that Snyder is truly one of the finest coaches ever in college football. The list of accomplishments Snyder has amassed in his 23 years is as endless as the time most people thought it would take for the Wildcats to be a consistent threat in the Big Eight, and now, Big 12 Conference. Like so many in recent history, the 2003 campaign was a dramatically successful one for K-State, which ended the regular season with seven straight wins, a fourth Big 12 North title, its first Big 12 Championship and another top-20 finish. But the 2003 season was not without its bumps in the road as the Wildcats overcame their share of adversity to produce perhaps the greatest season in school history. Ranked as high as No. 6 nationally in the early going, a key injury to quarterback Ell Roberson precipitated a three-game slide that threatened to wipe out a promising season. The three losses all but erased K-State from the national consciousness, as the Wildcats slipped out of the both polls for the first time since the second game of the 2002 season. But Snyder was not about to allow the year to spiral out of control. He constantly reminded his players that they still controlled their own destiny, and if they could just go 1-0 each week, the season would take care of itself and the team would ultimately achieve its goals. And like everything Snyder seems to touch, this strategy too worked, as the Wildcats rode their 1-0 mantra week after week all the way to a berth in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.
Along the way, five different Wildcats were lauded for their efforts with All-America honors, including K-State’s first Associated Press first team All-American running back, Darren Sproles, who finished fifth in voting for the Heisman Trophy, was the Doak Walker Award runner-up and finished third on the AP’s Player of the Year ballot. But Sproles was the lone player with star power that returned for 2004. And though the little tank produced yet another recordbreaking season capped by his third straight All-Big 12 selection, the lack of experience was one reason K-State struggled through a 4-7 rebuilding campaign. The 2002 season was one of the best in Kansas State history, witnessed by the Wildcats’ five-victory turnaround from the previous year’s 6-6 team to a win in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl and an 11-2 overall record. In addition, the 2002 Wildcats set or tied 45 school records, including tying the mark for wins in a season. Snyder’s Wildcats finished the season with six consecutive victories, including the biggest wins in the history of the series in each of a three-week span against Kansas, Iowa State and Nebraska. The Wildcats’ dominant play down the stretch of the 2002 season earned Snyder the recognition of his peers as the Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year. In 2001, Snyder directed one of the best in-season turnarounds in school history. Despite losing four straight in the middle of the year and facing the fourth-toughest schedule in the nation, the Wildcats recovered to win four of their last five games to end the regular season with a 6-5 record and a berth in the Insight.com Bowl. Despite the record, the quality of players produced by the Snyder-led coaching staff continued to attract national attention from those who best know the game.
“Bill Snyder isn’t the coach of the year, and he isn’t the coach of the decade. He’s the coach of the century.” Barry Switzer, former Oklahoma and Dallas Cowboys head coach

HEAD COACH BILL SNYDER
Six K-State players were selected in the 2002 NFL Draft, the most of any team in the Big 12 Conference, with only six schools in the country having more players picked in the draft. Thanks to that draft, and many others before and after it, the Wildcats currently lead the Big 12 Conference by having a player selected in the NFL Draft each of the last 21 seasons. The Wildcats started the 2000 season ranked in the top 10 for just the second time in school history and made a four-week run into the top five that saw K-State climb as high as No. 2. K-State won the Big 12 North Division for the second time in three years and earned at least a share of the title for the third consecutive season. K-State had six players named First Team All-Big 12 by the coaches, and Jamie Rheem, Mario Fatafehi and Quincy Morgan were All-Americans. The 1999 season saw the Wildcats climb from No. 20 in the preseason poll to finish at No. 6 after starting the season with nine straight victories, and win 11 games for the third straight year. K-State tied Nebraska for the Wildcats’ second consecutive Big 12 North Division Championship. All this came in what many thought would be a rebuilding season. K-State led the conference in first-team picks with seven. In 1998, Snyder led K-State to its second straight 11-win season and a No. 4 ranking in the final polls. In November, K-State occupied a No. 1 ranking in a national poll for the first time in school history. The Wildcats won the Big 12 North and advanced to a bowl game for the sixth year in a row. K-State won its first 11 games of the season and ran its winning streak to a school-record 20 games before falling to Texas A&M in the Big 12 Championship game. Quarterback Michael Bishop became the first Wildcat to be a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, and a total of six players earned All-America honors. Snyder earned National Coach of the Year honors from the Walter Camp Foundation, the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation, the Associated Press, the Paul “Bear” Bryant Award and the Schutt Sports Group. In 1997, Snyder led the Wildcats to their first 11-win season in school history, a No. 7 final ranking and the first 10-win regular season since 1910. It was just the third 10-win season in 102 years of K-State football. Kansas State won a school-record seven conference games, finishing second in the North to undefeated and eventual national champion Nebraska. The Wildcats defeated South Division champion Texas A&M, 36-17. The season ended with a 35-18 win over Big East Conference champion Syracuse in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, with an estimated 50,000 K-State fans attending K-State’s first-ever Alliance Bowl. The 1996 season saw K-State finish with a 9-3 record, while more than 45,000 Wildcat fans painted Dallas purple for the Cotton Bowl, K-State’s first-ever New Year’s Day Bowl. Despite a
19-15 loss to No. 5 BYU, the support and respect for the K-State program grew to unprecedented heights. In 1995, Snyder guided K-State to a 10-2 record, including a 5-2 Big Eight mark to tie for second behind national champion Nebraska. Following a 54-21 blitzing of WAC champion Colorado State in the Holiday Bowl, the Wildcats finished the season ranked sixth in the USA Today/CNN coaches’ poll and seventh in the AP poll. Both rankings were the highest ever attained by a Kansas State football team to that point. In 1993, Snyder guided K-State to its first bowl win in school history and, in 1994, the Wildcats cracked the top 10 for the first time in school history. In 1998, the K-State achieved a No. 1 national ranking in one of the major polls for the first time in the program’s history. Individually, Snyder has produced 54 different All-Americans during his 24 years as head coach, including eight consensus All-Americans: punter Sean Snyder (1992), free safety Jaime Mendez (1993), cornerback Chris Canty (1995 and 1996), place kicker Martin Gramatica (1997), punt returner David Allen (1998), linebacker Mark Simoneau (1999), cornerback Terence Newman (2002) and all-purpose player Tyler Lockett (2014). Newman became the third Wildcat to win a national award when he was voted the 2002 Thorpe Award, given to the top collegiate defensive back. Gramatica was the 1997 Lou Groza Award winner, the first major award winner in Kansas State history. Bishop became the first K-State player to be named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy (finishing as runner-up) while winning the 1998 Davey O’Brien Award. The foundation for K-State’s turnaround was laid in 1989 during Snyder’s first season in Manhattan. Although the season yielded just a 1-10 record, it became evident to everyone involved in the program that something special was happening. Most important, Snyder instilled a winning attitude and a healthy dose of self-respect and enthusiasm to a program that had been given up for dead. In 1990, K-State was one of just four teams in the country to improve its record by four games with a 5-6 mark, including its first Big Eight Conference wins in four seasons with victories over Oklahoma State and Iowa State. Snyder again beat those two schools in 1991, while adding Kansas and Missouri to the list of his Big Eight victims to finish at 7-4 for K-State’s first winning season since the Independence Bowl season of 1982. Heavy graduation losses on the offensive side of the ball resulted in a 5-6 mark in 1992, but the Cats were still able to hang their hats on their first perfect home season since 1934. Of course, it should come as no surprise that Snyder would be this kind of architect for a building program. At Iowa, he played a key role in the renaissance of a Hawkeye program that went from 17 consecutive losing seasons to eight straight bowls. Snyder was

the mind behind Iowa’s potent offensive attack. The Hawkeye offense ranked first in passing efficiency and third in passing yardage nationally in Snyder’s last five years of direction. In his final Iowa season, the Peach Bowl team led the Big Ten, and ranked seventh nationally, with 277 passing yards per game. Snyder also served as quarterback coach at Iowa and helped develop some of the best quarterbacks in NCAA history, including NFL players Chuck Long (second in Heisman voting), Mark Vlasic and Chuck Hartlieb, who wrapped up his career as the first Hawkeye to throw for 3,000 yards in back-to-back seasons. Snyder began his full-time coaching career in 1964 as an assistant at Indio High School in California. In 1966 he served as a GA at USC under John McKay before becoming head coach at Indio High in 1967. He accepted the same position at Santa Ana Foothill High School in 1969, where he stayed until 1973. In 1974, Snyder became the offensive coordinator and swimming coach at Austin College in Sherman, Texas. He joined the North Texas staff in 1976 and helped author an impressive turnaround with a three-year record of 26-7. During his three-year hiatus, Snyder remained involved with the university and is currently a member of the Missouri and Kansas Halls of Fame, the K-State and Austin College Athletics Halls of Fame while also being inducted into the Holiday Bowl Hall of Fame. The long-time mentor also is the Chairman of the Kansas Mentors Council and the Kansas Leadership Council, a member of the Board of Directors for Kansas Leadership Center, the Board of Trustees for the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, the KSU Leadership Studies Advancement Council, the Terry C. Johnson Cancer Research Center Advisory Council, the Manhattan Community Foundation Board of Trustees, the KSU Foundation Board of Trustees and is the Honorary Co-Chairman of the Kansas Masonic Partnership for Life. Snyder was awarded the 2015 Excellence in Mentoring Award by MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership in recognition of his longstanding commitment to meeting the mentoring needs of young people in Kansas. Snyder, 75, received his B.A. from William Jewell in 1963. He earned his M.A. from Eastern New Mexico in 1965. As a player, he was a three-year letterwinner as a defensive back at William Jewell. Snyder and his wife, Sharon, have two sons – Sean and Ross – and three daughters – Shannon, Meredith and Whitney. They also have eight grandchildren – Sydney, Katherine, Tate, Matthew, Alexis, Gavin, Kadin and Tylin – and one great-grandson, D.J.

Game Notes • A capacity crowd of 52,830 attended tonight’s game... The sellout crowd was the fifth-straight for a season opener, the 14th consecutive sellout dating back to 2012 and its 22nd sellout since the 2009 season... It was also the eighth-largest crowd in school history. • The Wildcats took a 28-10 lead into the locker room at halftime as they pushed their streak of consecutive games won when leading at the half to 40 games... Since 1990, the Cats have protected a halftime lead in 166 of their 171 (.971) games when leading at the half.
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Backed by a dominant performance by Wildcat signal-caller Jake Waters, KState rolled Stephen F. Austin, 55-16, in front of 52,830 faithful at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Finding success both through the air and on the ground, Waters finished the day accounting for 278 of the Wildcats’ 478 total yards with four scores in a little over three quarters of play. He was an efficient 19-of-28 for 223 yards and two touchdowns, completing passes to eight different receivers on the night, and picked up another 55 yards and two scores via the ground game on a team-high 17 carries. The 55 points were the most scored by the Wildcats in a home-opener since Sept. 22, 2001, when K-State rung up 64 points in a shutout over New Mexico State. HOW IT HAPPENED | First Half • K-State promptly marched down the field to score their first of four TD’s in the first half. Keyed by DeMarcus Robinson, who accounted for 40 of the drive’s 69 yards, the Wildcats’ early 7-0 lead came via Waters connecting with Tyler Lockett for a 9-yard score. • The Wildcat defense stifled the Lumberjacks’ offense early on, holding them to 21 yards on 12 plays in their first three drives. • K-State extended its lead to 14-0 thanks to a Waters 5-yard run that capped off a 12-play, 60-yard drive in 6:40. The Wildcats would then make it three-straight scoring drives and 21-0 soon after a Lumberjacks’ three-and-out, as Charles Jones took it to the house from 15-yards out. • Scoring a TD for the fourth-consecutive drive, Waters picked up his second rushing touchdown with a one-yard goal line plunge. The 28-7 K-State lead would be cut down to 28-10 after the Lumberjacks picked up a 28-yard field goal in their final drive of the half. HOW IT HAPPENED | Second Half • Waters picked up his fourth touchdown of the night by connecting with wideout Kody Cook for a 22-yard score – the redshirt junior’s first career TD to go along with three receptions and 44 yards on the night – the Wildcats extended their lead to 35-10. • The Wildcats would regain possession only a play later at the Lumberjacks’ 22-yard line, as Randall Evans forced a fumble for the first turnover of the game for either side. Jones took over from there, running the ball three-consecutive times to the tune of 22 yards and his second touchdown run of the night – this one from four yards out to make the score 42-10. • Forcing a turnover of their own after Collin Garrett picked off a tipped Waters’ pass, Stephen F. Austin closed the gap to 42-16 as Johnson scampered in for a 30-yard score. • The fourth quarter saw two Jack Cantele field goals and a Joe Hubener to Steven West 15-yard connection – first career visits to pay dirt for both Wildcats.
SCORING SUMMARY
• The Wildcats were 7-for-7 in the red zone Saturday evening... Dating back to the 2011 season, Kansas State is 163-for-186 in the red zone with 125 of those scores being touchdowns... During the 2013 season, the Wildcats were perfect on four or more red zone trips in four games, while they were just 1-for-1 in last season’s opener against North Dakota State.

• The Wildcats have now won seven-straight games in the series, their longest winning streak since winning 10 straight from 1994-2003... The Wildcats have won five of their last six Big 12 openers. • Iowa State took a 28-20 lead into the locker room at halftime... It was the first time the Wildcats allowed at least 28 points in a half to the Cyclones since the second half of the 2005 contest... K-State turned things around defensively as it shut out the Cyclones in the second half, keeping them off the board for a half in a second straight year (first half in 2013).
AMES, Iowa (AP) -- Jake Waters ran for an 8-yard touchdown with 1:30 left to push 20th-ranked Kansas State past host Iowa State 32-28. Waters threw for 239 yards and ran for a career-high 138 yards for the Wildcats (2-0, 1-0 Big 12). They trailed by as much as 28-13 late in the first half before Waters rescued them on a game-winning drive. Waters followed a key 23-yard completion to Tyler Lockett with a 25-yard run with just under two minutes left. Waters then capped an 80-yard drive that took just 1:31 with his second touchdown run of the day. Jarvis West caught and threw touchdown passes and ran a punt back for a third TD for Iowa State (0-2, 0-1), which was held scoreless in the second half. It was a tough loss for the Cyclones: They nearly knocked off a ranked opponent just a week after losing by 20 to FCS school North Dakota State. Kansas State’s Randall Evans ripped the ball away from West for an interception with 9:15 left. The Wildcats went 54 yards in 74 seconds, moving within 28-26 on a 4-yard TD run by Charles Jones. Waters looked like he had more than enough space to tie the game on a 2-point conversion run. But Kamari Cotton-Moya -- who was ejected from last week’s loss for targeting -- sprinted to the hole, turned Waters sideways at the goal line and preserved Iowa State’s lead. That seemed like it would be the game’s key play. But Lockett’s crucial reception, which held up upon review, set the athletic Waters up to close the game out with his feet. Jones added 75 yards rushing for the Wildcats. Iowa State was in need of a decent showing after allowing 506 yards and getting shut out for the final 44 minutes last week. The Wildcats made it look way too easy way too soon. Lockett went 57 yards off a short catch just four plays in, and Jones walked in untouched from four yards out for a quick 7-0 lead. The Wildcats tacked on a pair of field goals before Iowa State finally woke up. The Cyclones flipped things around by relying on West’s versatility. West kicked off his career day with a leaping 17-yard TD catch. He then took a punt 82 yards for a touchdown and a 14-13 lead early in the second quarter. West capped a brilliant first half with a perfectly thrown 29-yard TD pass to Allen Lazard off a double reverse. That made it 28-13 Iowa State, thrilling a capacity crowd that once seemed resigned to defeat. West is just the fourth player since 1996 with a passing, receiving and punt return touchdown in the same game, according to STATS LCC. But Kansas State pulled within 28-20 just before halftime on a plunge from Waters, and the Wildcats defense stuffed Iowa State on a fourth-and-1 to open the second half. Iowa State answered by stuffing Waters on a fourth and inches early in the fourth quarter, prompting Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads to run onto the field while furiously pumping his fists. It was a short-lived celebration for Rhoads, who fell to 0-6 against Kansas State.
SCORING SUMMARY • This was K-State’s first come-from-behind win since a 53-50, four-overtime win against Texas A&M in 2011 (trailed 31-21 in the fourth quarter)... It was the first double-digit comeback win on the road since overcoming a 20-7 deficit at North Texas in 2010, a 49-41 victory. • Senior quarterback Jake Waters made his 15th career start under center for the Wildcats, rushing 20 times for a career-best 138 yards and two touchdowns... He bettered his previous career best in rushing by 64 yards as his previous high was 74 yards in last year’s West Virginia game... He tied his career high with two rushing touchdowns, while he had a career-long 25-yard rush... Waters went 16-of-29 for 239 yards through the air. • Senior wide receiver Tyler Lockett hauled in six receptions for 136 yards... It was his 10th career 100-yard game, which ties the school record held by Jordy Nelson (2005-07) and Quincy Morgan (1999-2000).

It is the 11th-longest active streak in the nation and the second-longest in the Big 12... The score was the first of Robinson’s career. • The Wildcats were only 2-for-5 in the red zone Thursday after starting the season 12-of-12 with 10 touchdowns... The Wildcats came up empty in the red zone for the first time this season when K-State threw an interception from the two-yard line in the first quarter. • Quarterback Jake Waters became the 10th quarterback in school history to record 200 completions, 3,000 passing yards and 20 passing touchdowns, but the quickest ever in terms of games played (16)... He also became the secondfastest QB in school history to 3,000 career passing yards when he hit the mark on career pass attempt No. 331. • Curry Sexton hauled in a career-high 11 catches for a career-best 121 yards... His 11 catches tied for the 10th most in a single game in school history, while it was his second career 100-yard game. • Linebacker Dakorey Johnson registered a career-high six tackles, including two tackles for loss, and intercepted his second-career pass.
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- In a back-and-forth defensive game that saw both teams average less than five yards a play on offense, No. 20 K-State came up just short against No. 5 Auburn, falling to the Tigers 20-14. Taking in the primetime affair were 53,046 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium – the fifth-largest attendance in program history. For the Wildcats, they kept the contest close thanks to a stellar performance by their defense unit. The collective effort saw the Tigers get held to a season-low output in rushing yards, as Auburn managed 128 yards on 45 attempts, which ended the program’s FBS-leading streak of 13-straight games of at least 200 yards rushing. The Tigers would finish the game with 359 total yards and one turnover. On offense, K-State struggled to find any room on the ground, relying mostly on the arm of Jake Waters, who finished the contest with 245 yards passing on 24-of-40 attempts. Curry Sexton and Tyler Lockett finished the evening with 121 yards and 45 yards receiving, respectively, with the former hauling in a game- and career-high 11 receptions. HOW IT HAPPENED | First Half • K-State’s defense came out rolling on all cylinders, holding the Auburn attack to 38 total yards in its first three drives. Despite the strong start, K-State trailed 3-0 after the first quarter. • Auburn’s first points of the evening came as result of a Waters fumble that ended with the Tigers recovering the ball on the Wildcats’ 21-yard line. From there, Auburn failed to move the ball past the K-State 17 with its drive ending in a Daniel Carlson 34-yard field goal. • The Wildcats would bounce back with a strong drive, moving the ball 74 yards in 10 plays only to have the drive end with yet another turnover. On 2nd-and-goal from the 1-yard line, Waters looked to hit Lockett on a slant, but Lockett was unable to corral the pass, tipping the ball into the air for a Tigers’ interception by cornerback Jonathan Jones. • From there, action hit a short lull as K-State was unable to capitalize on a Dakorey Johnson interception off a deflected Nick Marshall pass. The Wildcats’ defense would not relent, forcing a punt from Auburn on the ensuing drive that saw Lockett work his way 26 yards to the K-State 43-yard line. • The return would kick start the Wildcats’ first scoring drive of the evening – a 6-play, 57-yard drive that ended with a 3-yard plunge by DeMarcus Robinson. • Auburn responded quickly with a touchdown of their own, driving the ball 75 yards down the field in 3:22 to make it 10-7. Evading a blitz from cornerback Randall Evans, Marshall connected with Ricardo Louis from 40 yards out for the score. HOW IT HAPPENED | Second Half • Trading punts to open the half, K-State would be the first team with an opportunity to score, but were unable to convert yet again as the Wildcats missed another field goal. • Auburn extended its lead to 17-7, when a Marshall fade to D’haquille Williams in the corner of the end zone, scoring from 9 yards out. • Auburn added another three in the fourth to push its advantage to 20-7, but the Wildcats would make the game interesting late, cutting the lead to 20-14 with 3:49 remaining on a Charles Jones 1-yard score. Sexton played a major role in the drive, snagging four passes for 47 yards including three for first downs. K-State’s offense did not see the field again though, as Auburn converted on a 3rd-and-9 on the following drive to run out the clock for its third victory of the season.

• The K-State defense held the nation’s seventh-best rushing attack to 59 yards on 31 attempts (1.9 per carry)... Since 2011, the Wildcat defense has held 17 of its 43 opponents to under 100 yards, including two this season (SFA: 69 yards). • Deante Burton blocked UTEP’s first punt attempt of the day... It was the Wildcats’ first blocked kick of the season and first blocked punt since Weston Hiebert last season against Baylor. • Tyler Lockett hauled in four receptions for 84 yards... Lockett now has 2,469 career receiving yards as he jumped from fifth to third place in school history on Saturday... He passed his uncle, Aaron (2,400; 1998-2001) for fourth and Michael Smith (2,457; 1988-91) for third. • Lockett also tallied 143 punt-return yards, the secondmost in school history and 29 yards short of tying the school record of 172 held by David Allen against Texas in 1998... His yardage included a 58yard touchdown, which was the Wildcats’ nation-leading 92nd non-offensive touchdown since 1999... It was the Wildcats’ first punt-return touchdown since Tramaine Thompson went 89 yards last year against Louisiana... Entering the day, K-State ranked 12th nationally in punt returns with a 46.5-yard average. • Charles Jones rushed 12 times for 76 yards and three touchdowns... His three rushing touchdowns today are tied for 11th in school history, one shy of a tie for third and two shy of the school record... Of his eight rushing touchdowns this year, six have been out of the Wildcat formation.
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- K-State (3-1, 1-0) closed out its non-conference slate with a bang, romping the UTEP Miners (2-2, 0-0), 58-28, in front of 52,899 faithful at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The No. 25-ranked Wildcats dominated play, scoring 42 unanswered points on six-consecutive drives at one point en route to their third win of the season. For K-State, it was a complete effort that saw the offense, defense and special teams all excel in their respective areas. On the offensive side, the scoring was backed by an exceptional performance from the Wildcat rushing attack, which combined for 188 yards and six scores on 37 attempts. Running backs Charles Jones and DeMarcus Robinson, who each averaged over six yards per carry, accounted for 132 of those yards with the former crossing the plane on three occasions and the latter once. The Wildcat defense was just as dominant, allowing only one first Miner first down in the entire first half that saw K-State take a commanding 31-0 lead into the break. The Miners, who entered the game averaging a gaudy 314 yards per game on the ground, were held to 59 yards total on 31 attempts with almost all their scoring coming in the late stages of the game. On special teams, wideout Tyler Lockett led a special teams unit that, along with a punt block on defense, totaled 150 yards on five punt returns with 143 of those yards coming from Lockett himself, including two returns of 50-plus yards that was highlighted by a 58-yard return for a score. HOW IT HAPPENED | First Half • After a 25-yard Matthew McCrane field goal and a 1-yard Jake Waters run, the Wildcats’ offense closed out the second quarter with three-straight scoring drives. Jones, first, pushed the lead to 17-0 as he took it to the house from three yards out in the Wildcat formation – his first of three rushing touchdowns on the day. Not even three minutes later, the Wildcats went up 24-0, as this time there was no doubt about a Lockett punt return as he scampered down the field for a 58-yard score. • After UTEP picked up its first and only first down of the half, the Wildcats forced another punt that nearly was returned by Lockett again – this one returned 54 yards. Starting the drive on the UTEP 20-yard line, Jones scored from nine yards out, which included being carried the last three yards by left tackle Cody Whitehair, on K-State’s fifth play of the drive to make the score 31-0. HOW IT HAPPENED | Second Half • The Wildcat offense continued its scoring rampage, opening the half with another set of threestraight scoring drives. First, Jones capped off a strong performance with his third rushing scoring of the day, this one a four-yard plunge to make the score 38-0. • Waters would get a score of his own on the next Wildcat drive, connecting with Zach Trujillo for a 44-yard touchdown to push the score to 45-0 with a little under 10 minutes to play in the third quarter. • Following UTEP’s first touchdown of the afternoon, K-State’s response came on the ground via DeMarcus Robinson, who exploded from 40 yards out to give the Wildcats a 52-7 lead. • Lastly, backup quarterback Joe Hubener led K-State 74 yards down the field in eight plays, concluding the drive himself with a 2-yard score on the ground and a 58-14 Wildcat advantage.

He also moved into 11th place in school history in career passing yards. • Waters also rushed 17 times for a game-high 105 yards and a score... It was his second-career 100-yard game as he had 138 yards earlier this season at Iowa State... His total included a career-long 50-yarder. • Tyler Lockett grabbed 12 receptions to tie for fifth in school history... It was his 11th 100-yard receiving game, which broke the school record... His two touchdowns gave him 21 for his career, which moved him into third place in school history. • Lockett also moved into 10th place in Big 12 history in career kickoff-return yards, passing Nebraska’s Niles Paul. • Curry Sexton recorded a career-high 128 yards and two touchdowns... He bettered his 121-yard output against Auburn earlier this season. • Lockett and Sexton paired up for the 10th double 100-yard receiving game in school history...

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- K-State (4-1, 2-2) continued its hot start to the season, steamrolling Texas Tech (2-3, 0-2), 45-13, in front of 52,726 faithful at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The Wildcats put in a near flawless effort that saw K-State dominate on both sides of the ball, including a season-high 535 total yards on offense – 290 through the air and 245 on the ground. As has been the case for most of the season, the Wildcats were ignited by an impressive performance from quarterback Jake Waters. The senior signal-caller was unstoppable, racking up 395 total yards and five total touchdowns on 24-of-31 passing for 290 yards and 105 yards rushing on 17 carries. Waters, in the process, tied a school record with four passing touchdowns and his total offense was the most by a K-State quarterback since Josh Freeman gained a school-record 501 yards on Oct. 25, 2008 against Oklahoma. The strong effort from Waters opened up the way for highlight reel showings from several Wildcats. Tyler Lockett and Curry Sexton both eclipsed the century mark as well as hauled in two scores. Lockett nabbed a game-high 12 receptions for 125 yards, while Sexton racked up a career-best 128 yards receiving on nine receptions. On the ground, Charles Jones and DeMarcus Robinson complemented Waters with a combined 122 yards rushing. HOW IT HAPPENED | First Half • Texas Tech looked primed to take the lead on its opening drive, but saw its drive end with a Morgan Burns interception in the end zone to end an 11-play, 63-yard drive. • On the subsequent drive, K-State wasted little time taking advantage as Waters connected with Sexton on a 48-yard strike to give the Wildcats a 7-0 lead. • The Wildcat defense took over from there, throttling Texas Tech to 13 total yards on nine plays in its next two drives. The effort allowed Waters to lead K-State down the field for a score and a 14-0 advantage early in the second quarter on his own 4-yard score, which included a career-long 50-yard run. • Not even a minute later, K-State’s offense was given the ball back thanks to a tipped Webb pass landing in the arms of defensive back Travis Green. K-State would tack on another three points for a 17-0 lead via a 27-yard Matt McCrane field goal. • Texas Tech responded with a score of its own, making it a 17-7 game, as Webb hit Jakeem Grant from 22 yards out, but the Wildcat offense would close out the half on a 15-yard pass from Waters to Lockett to extend their lead to 24-7. HOW IT HAPPENED | Second Half • Action in the third quarter hit a lull until Waters and Lockett connected for the second time on the night to balloon the K-State lead to 31-7. Scoring from 14 yards out, the 8-play, 66-yard drive saw Waters and Lockett hook up three times for 25 yards. • K-State’s defensive unit was relentless all night, forcing another turnover in the third – this time Webb misfired deep, giving Green his second interception of the night. • Unable to turn the turnover into points, Texas Tech responded with a touchdown and a failed 2-point conversion to make the score 31-13 at the start of the fourth quarter. • Bouncing back from the turnover, Waters and Sexton led K-State to a 38-13 lead thanks to a circus one-handed catch by the latter from 3 yards out. • K-State would close out the game with yet another score, a 2-yard plunge by Robinson.

• With the win, K-State has won two of the last three meetings against OU, including two-straight in Norman... It is the first time the Wildcats have won two-straight games at Oklahoma since 1994 and 1997... K-State has started 3-0 in conference play for the third time in the last four seasons and the fifth overall under head coach Bill Snyder. • The Cats took a 21-17 advantage into the locker room at halftime as they extended their streak of consecutive games won when leading at the half to 42... It is the second-longest active streak in the nation behind Oklahoma (46). • Jake Waters moved into K-State’s career top-10 list for completions and total offense... He passed Jonathan Beasley (1996-97, 99-2000) for 10th place in school history in career completions, a mark that now stands at 267... He passed Darrell Dickey (1979-82) for 10th place in school history in career passing yards, a mark that now stands at 4,583. • Glenn Gronkowski hauled in a 62-yard TD reception... Of his four career touchdown receptions, three have gone for 50 or more yards. • Danzel McDaniel came up with his first-career interception and scored on a 5-yard touchdown return to put KState ahead, 14-7, in the second quarter... It was K-State’s first pick-six of the season, while it was K-State’s nationleading 93rd non-offensive touchdown since 1999. • Jonathan Truman carded a career-high 17 tackles, the most by a Wildcat since Josh Buhl had 18 against Marshall in 2003.
NORMAN, Okla. -- Despite being out-gained by nearly 150 total yards, No. 14 Kansas State took advantage of several mistakes by No. 11 Oklahoma to pull off a 31-30 victory before 85,019 at Memorial Stadium. The win gave the Wildcats’ back-to-back wins in Norman for the first time since 1994 and 1997. The Sooners threw two interceptions, including one returned five yards for a touchdown by defensive back Danzel McDaniel in the first quarter, and place kicker Michael Hunnicutt missed two field goals, including a 19-yard attempt with just 3:53 remaining, and had an extra point blocked by junior defensive lineman Travis Britz. The block, the fifth of Britz’s career to tie him with Raphael Guidry (2011) for the most in school history, proved to be the difference. On the other hand, the Wildcats did not turn the ball over and converted on all three scoring chances in the red zone. The team also made its lone field goal – a 27-yard attempt by Matthew McCrane in the third quarter – and knocked through all four extra point attempts. The squad had just two penalties for 20 yards. K-State (5-1, 3-0 Big 12) is now 3-0 in Big 12 play for the third time in four seasons and the fifth time overall under head coach Bill Snyder, while Oklahoma (5-2, 2-2 Big 12) lost for the second time in three games and the first time at home this season. It marked just the sixth defeat in 95 home games under head coach Bob Stoops. The Sooners are now 14-2 at home under Stoops versus ranked Big 12 foes with both losses coming to the Wildcats (2012 and 2014). The Wildcats were once again led by a gritty effort by senior quarterback Jake Waters, who accounted for all three offensive touchdowns (two passing and one rushing). He finished the day with 225 yards through the air on 15-of-23 attempts with two scores, while he added 51 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He moved into the record book in two categories, as he is now 10th in both total yards (4,583) and completions (267) in school history. Waters’ 15 completions went to just three receivers, as seniors Tyler Lockett and Curry Sexton each had tremendous days, while sophomore fullback Glenn Gronkowski took advantage of his one reception rumbling 62 yards for the Wildcats’ first score in the first quarter. Sexton led all wide outs with eight catches for 77 yards, while Lockett added six receptions for a team-high 86 yards. On the ground, running backs DeMarcus Robinson and Charles Jones complemented Waters’ effort with a combined 112 yards rushing with Robinson averaging 8.2 yards on eight carries. Defensively, K-State was led by senior linebacker Jonathan Truman’s career-best 17 tackles. It was the most tackles by a Wildcat since Josh Buhl had 18 against Marshall in 2003. Truman now has 30 tackles in his last two meetings with the Sooners. McDaniel and fellow defensive back Morgan Burns each recorded interceptions with McDaniel returning his pick five yards for a touchdown. It marked the 93rd non-offensive touchdown by K-State since 1999, which leads the nation. Oklahoma out-gained K-State, 533-385, including 335 through the air. Quarterback Trevor Knight completed 26-of-32 attempts for 318 yards passing and three touchdowns, while receiver Sterling Shepard had 15 catches for 197 yards with a score. Running back Samaje Perine paced the Sooner ground attack with 89 yards and a touchdown.

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- K-State notched its fourth-straight victory, shutting out Texas 23-0 in front of 52,879 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Held to only 196 total yards of offense, the Longhorns were handed their first shutout since 2004 by the No. 11-ranked Wildcats, who notched their 500th victory in program history with the win. A defensive affair that saw K-State lead 13-0 at the half, the Wildcats stymied a Texas offensive unit that came into the contest averaging 370 yards of total offense per game. Highlighted by strong efforts from Jonathan Truman and Dante Barnett, who had eight and seven tackles, respectively, with the latter also pitching in four pass break ups, K-State allowed 90 yards rushing on 27 attempts en route to its first shutout since Sept. 17, 2011, and first conference shutout since Nov. 8, 2003. The Wildcats, 6-1 overall, are now 4-0 Big 12 play for the third time in the past four seasons under head coach Bill Snyder, while Texas fell to 3-5 overall and 2-3 in Big 12 play. Disciplined play once again played a major role in the Cats remaining unbeaten in Big 12 play, as they committed zero turnovers and committed only 3 penalties for 25 yards. On the other hand, Texas coughed up a fumble, as well as failed to convert from fourth-and-one at K-State’s 14, and racked up 66 yards on seven penalties. The Longhorns were out-possessed 39:14 to 20:46, and were also unable to convert their two red zone possessions to points, while allowing K-State to go 4-for-4 inside the 20. Jake Waters once again put in a spirited effort, leading the K-State offense with 224 yards through the air on 19-of-30 passing, including connecting with Tyler Lockett eight times for 103 yards, who moved into third in school history in career receptions (186), and Deante Burton and Curry Sexton four times each. K-State’s scoring came via a perfect and career-best three-for-three day by kicker Matt McCrane, as well as short scores on the ground by DeMarcus Robinson and Charles Jones. The Wildcats, who averaged 3.3 yards on the ground, battled to outgain the Texas offense 367-to196 in total yards. Longhorn signal-caller Tyrone Swoopes, fresh off of racking up 416 yards of total offense versus Iowa State, was contained to 137 total yards, while halfbacks Johnathan Gray and Malcolm Brown were held to 24 and 21 yards rushing, respectively. HOW IT HAPPENED | First Half • Forcing a three-and-out on the game’s opening drive that included two Texas false start penalties, K-State took advantage of decent field position at its own 31-yard line to grab a 3-0 lead. The 11-play, 67-yard drive chewed up 6:13 off the clock, as McCrane hit a 19-yard field goal. • Despite consecutive three-and-outs from its offense, the Texas defense limited the damage to another K-State field goal, as McCrane was good from 30 yards. • The Longhorns’ first drive of the second quarter saw them enter the red zone for the first time all game, but a costly holding penalty made it second-and-19, and followed by sack Elijah Lee. • After another Longhorn three-and-out, the Wildcats pushed their advantage to 13-0, as Robinson cashed in from three yards out. HOW IT HAPPENED | Second Half • Texas saw its first drive of the second half end after a botched reverse resulted in a K-State fumble recovery by Valentino Coleman. The Wildcats would capitalize by tacking on another three points,as McCrane converted from 38 yards out. • Texas responded with its best drive of the afternoon, pushing the Wildcat defense back to its own 14-yard line. The Longhorns though were unable to come away with points after Jonathan Gray was held to no gain by Jonathan Truman and Dante Barnett on fourth-and-one. • Capitalizing for a second-straight drive, K-State put the contest out of reach with a Jones one-yard plunge to make the score 23-0.

• Morgan Burns’ kickoffreturn score extended the Wildcats’ nation-leading streak to 10 straight years they have returned a kickoff for a touchdown... It was also the secondstraight home game against Oklahoma State that K-State has returned a kickoff for a touchdown as Tyler Lockett returned one 100 yards against the Cowboys in 2012.
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Kansas State coach Bill Snyder had watched Oklahoma State slice so effortless through his defense on the game’s opening drive that he wondered whether the tone had been set. Morgan Burns didn’t give him a chance to think anything more of it. The speedy cornerback returned the ensuing kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown, and that set the No. 11 Wildcats off and running. Jake Waters threw two TD passes, Charles Jones ran for two more scores and Kansas State routed the Cowboys 48-14 on Saturday night. Curry Sexton had nine catches for 159 yards and a touchdown, and Tyler Lockett had six receptions for 94 yards and a score, helping Kansas State (7-1, 5-0, No. 9 CFP) remain the lone unbeaten team in the Big 12 heading into next week’s showdown at 10th-ranked TCU. After its opening touchdown drive Oklahoma State (5-4, 3-3) never threatened on offense again. The Cowboys managed only a pick-six by Ramon Richards in the fourth quarter in losing their third straight game for the first time since the 2005 season. Tyreek Hill had 102 yards rushing and a touchdown in place of leading rusher Desmond Roland, who missed the trip following a death in his family. Daxx Garman threw for 148 yards and was picked off twice, one of them when the Cowboys were deep in Kansas State territory. Oklahoma State had only 48 yards of offense in the second half. The Wildcats have won five straight since a narrow loss to fourth-ranked Auburn, but the schedule is about to get a lot tougher. After visiting the Horned Frogs, Kansas State must travel to No. 20 West Virginia, with a game at No. 12 Baylor looming at the end of the season. In other words, the road to college football’s inaugural playoff is a bumpy one. After the Cowboys and Wildcats traded touchdowns in the opening minutes of the game, Kansas State put things away with 38 unanswered points spanning halftime. Jones started the onslaught with his first touchdown run, and Waters connected with Sexton for a 17-yard score early in the second quarter. Waters then hit Lockett from 20 yards out in the third quarter, giving Kansas State a 28-7 advantage. On that drive, Lockett passed current Packers star Jordy Nelson for second in school history in yards receiving, and tied Quincy Morgan in career touchdown catches. Lockett has 2,877 yards and 23 TD grabs, trailing only father Kevin Lockett (3,032 yards, 26 TDs) in both categories. The game truly got out of hand when the Cowboys fumbled on their next possession, and Kansas State needed three plays to go 37 yards for a score. Backup quarterback Joe Hubener added a sneak with 9 1/2 minutes to go make it 45-7, and Matt McCrane’s career-long 53-yard field goal in the final minutes gave the few fans left one last reason to cheer.
• The Cats took a 21-7 advantage into the locker room at halftime... The Wildcats pushed their streak of consecutive games won when leading at the half to 45, which is the secondlongest active streak in the nation entering play on Saturday behind Oklahoma (46). • Jake Waters made his 21st career start under center for the Wildcats, improving to 15-6 as K-State’s starter... He moved into eighth place in school history in career completions - a mark that now stands at 305 - as he passed Dennis Morrison (294; 197072) and Paul Watson (301; 1988-91)... Waters He also improved his ranking in career total offensive yards as he is now eighth with 5,060.
SCORING SUMMARY
• Tyler Lockett moved into second place in school history in career receiving yards at 2,877 as he passed Jordy Nelson (2,822; 2005-07)... Lockett’s touchdown moved him into a tie for second place in school history with 23.
Kansas State
• Curry Sexton hauled in nine receptions for a career-high 159 yards and a touchdown... Sexton has four career 100yard receiving games, including three this season... Sexton’s previous career high in yards was 128 earlier this season against Texas Tech.

• Saturday evening’s contest between K-State and TCU was the eighth in series history as each team has won four games apiece... The Horned Frogs defeated the Wildcats for the first time since joining the Big 12 three years ago. • The 41 points allowed by KState were a season high and the most since surrendering 41 to Oklahoma last season... The Wildcats surrendered 334 rushing yards, the most since allowing 342 at Baylor in 2012, a span of 24 games. • K-State extended its scoring streak to 225 consecutive games on a 70-yard touchdown pass from Jake Waters to Tyler Lockett... It is the 11th-longest active streak in the nation and the secondlongest in the Big 12. • Tyler Lockett hauled in 11 receptions for 196 yards and one touchdown... He broke the school’s career receiving yardage record with 3,073, breaking the record held by his father, Kevin, who had 3,032 yards from 1993-96... His total yardage this evening ranked as the seventh most in a game in school history and his third highest career total... He carded his 13th career 100yard receiving game, extending his own school record. • Lockett and Curry Sexton (114 yards) teamed for the 12th double 100-yard receiving game in school history - including the second this year - while their 310 combined yards are the second most by two receivers in school history (321 by Brandon Banks and Ernie Pierce vs. Oklahoma in 2008).
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Quarterback Trevone Boykin accounted for four touchdowns to help sixthranked TCU to a 41-20 win over No. 7 K-State before a crowd of 48,012 at Amon G. Carter Stadium. The Wildcats (7-2, 5-1 Big 12) saw their five-game winning streak end with the loss, while the Horned Frogs improved to 8-1 overall and 5-1 in Big 12 play. The setback overshadowed a record-setting night for senior wide receiver Tyler Lockett, who became the school’s all-time leading receiver, surpassing his father, Kevin, with his 11-catch, 196-yard performance. Lockett now has 3,073 yards receiving in his career, which breaks the school record of 3,032 yards held by the elder Lockett from 1993-96. For TCU, Boykin was equally lethal on the ground as through the air, accounting for 342 total yards and four total touchdowns on the night. He rushed for 123 yards on 17 carries with three scores, while he completed 23-of-34 passes for 219 yards and a touchdown. Running back Aaron Green gave the Horned Frogs two 100-yard rushers, as he posted 171 yards rushing on just 18 carries. Overall, TCU out-gained K-State, 553-410, including 334 on the ground. In addition to Lockett’s record-breaking evening, wide out Curry Sexton also enjoyed a solid night with four receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown. He teamed with Lockett for the 12th double 100yard receiving game in school history, including the second this season, while their 310 combined yards are the second-most by a Wildcat receiving tandem 2008. HOW IT HAPPENED | First Half • After three straight punts to start the game, TCU opened the scoring with a 2-yard run by Boykin that capped a 6-play, 65-yard drive with a 6:06 left in the first quarter. The score was set up by a 20-yard reception by Josh Doctson and a 34-yard catch by David Porter to the K-State 2. • TCU quickly made it 14-0 after forcing another Wildcat punt, as Boykin guided a 7-play, 58-yard drive that concluded with a 10-yard touchdown reception by Porter with 1:11 left in the quarter. • K-State offense finally got on track just before the end of the first quarter, as Jake Waters hooked up with Lockett for a 70-yard catch with just 42 second remaining to cap a 3-play, 70-yard drive. • The teams traded punts until place-kicker Jaden Oberkrom gave TCU a 17-7 lead with 50 seconds before halftime to finish a 10-play drive. HOW IT HAPPENED | Second Half • TCU quickly extended the lead to 24-7 start the second half, as Boykin capped a 5-play, 60-yard drive with a 19-yard touchdown run with 13:36 left in the third quarter. • K-State stayed within striking distance at 24-14, as Waters hit Sexton for a 15-yard touchdown strike to finish off an 8-play, 67-yard drive with 9:30 remaining in the third quarter. The drive was highlighted by a 21-yard reception by Lockett on second-and-12 from the K-State 31. • TCU again answered with a quick score, as Green had a 65-yard scoring run on just the drive’s third play for a 31-14 lead with 8:39 in the third quarter. • Oberkrom converted on his second field goal of the game – a 26-yard attempt – to give the Horned Frogs a 34-14 advantage just 10 seconds into the fourth quarter before TCU pushed the lead to 41-14 on a Boykin 23-yard touchdown run with 8:39 left in the game • The Wildcats finished off the scoring with 1:36 remaining as back-up quarterback Joe Hubener scored on a 6-yard run. The play was set up by a 74-yard pass play from Hubener to Sexton.

• The win marked K-State’s 16th season with eight or more victories, including four straight and 14 in head coach Bill Snyder’s 23 seasons. • Tyler Lockett returned a punt 48 yards for a touchdown... It was his second punt-return score this season as he is tied for third in school history... It was also K-State’s nation-leading 95th non-offensive touchdown since 1999. • Jake Waters finished the contest with a career high 400 passing yards... His total ranks sixth in school history, while it was the first 400-yard game by a Wildcat since Josh Freeman in 2008... He has thrown for at least 200 yards in each of the last 11 games, the longest streak by a Bill Snydercoached quarterback. • Tyler Lockett recorded his second-straight game with 196 yards, which is tied for the seventh most in school history... He extended his own school record for career receiving yards, a mark that now stands at 3,269, while he moved into second place in career receptions at 213, passing current Green Bay Packer Jordy Nelson (206; 2005-07) and now sitting four shy of the record set by his father, Kevin (1993-96)... He also topped the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the second-straight season, becoming the second Wildcat to accomplish the feat (Quincy Morgan, 1999-2000). • Matthew McCrane made four field goals to tie for the second most in school history... He broke the school record for points by a freshman with 66, topping Martin Gramatica’s 56-point output in 1994.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Jake Waters threw for a career-high 400 yards and a touchdown, Tyler Lockett returned a punt for a score and No. 12 Kansas State held on to beat sloppy West Virginia, 26-20. Kansas State rebounded from a loss at TCU to move into a first-place tie with the idle Horned Frogs with two weeks left in the regular season. Waters was 22-of-34 passing. Lockett caught 10 passes for 196 yards, and Matthew McCrane kicked four field goals. The Mountaineers have lost three straight after winning four in a row. West Virginia committed four turnovers, with two of them occurring inside the Kansas State 30, and Josh Lambert missed a 40-yard field goal try. West Virginia’s Skyler Howard threw two touchdown passes after Clint Trickett left with what coach Dana Holgorsen said was a concussion. Trickett didn’t return after throwing his second interception in the third quarter. Trickett has now gone 10 consecutive quarters without a TD pass. Lockett returned a punt 43 yards just before halftime to put the Wildcats ahead 17-3. West Virginia punter Nick O’Toole was supposed to kick the ball to the right, but Lockett fielded the ball on the other side of the field and scored untouched. Howard rallied the Mountaineers on his first series, running 16 yards to set up his 7-yard TD toss to Kevin White that trimmed the Wildcats’ lead to 23-10 midway through the third quarter. Howard engineered a 17-play drive on the next series, but West Virginia turned it over on downs at the Kansas State 26. After McCrane missed a 22-yard field goal, Howard hit Mario Alford with a short pass, and he went 53 yards untouched to make it 23-17 with 7:23 left in the fourth quarter. But Michael Molinari’s ensuing kickoff went out of bounds. Waters hit Lockett across the middle for 28 yards to the West Virginia 25 and McCrane’s fourth field goal made it a two-possession game. Lambert made a 25-yard field goal with 53 seconds left. West Virginia then tried an onside kick that Kansas State’s Glenn Gronkowski recovered. Waters was Kansas State’s only hope on offense. The Wildcats ran 29 times for 1 yard. Kansas State used a big pass play to set up its first two scores. Kody Cook’s 32-yard grab on Kansas State’s first drive set up Waters’ 7-yard scoring toss to DeMarcus Robinson, and tight end Zach Trujillo’s 49-yard catch led to a 36-yard field goal early in the second quarter. It was Trujillo’s longest reception of the season. Before Lambert’s miss, White appeared to score on a 22-yard reception that deflected off two other players, but the play was ruled an incompletion because the ball touched the ground as Kansas State’s Dante Barnett tried to come up with it. The Wildcats also came up empty after Randall Evans’ interception when West Virginia’s Kyle Rose blocked McCrane’s 34-yard field goal try as the first half expired.

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Kansas State continued its dominance over Kansas, posting its sixth consecutive win over its archrival with a 51-13 victory at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. With the win, the Wildcats tallied their 13th nine-win season under legendary head coach Bill Snyder, including the third since the start of his second tenure in 2009. The squad has now won 19 of the 23 matchups with the Jayhawks under Snyder, including 18 of the 19 meetings under his direction. Quarterback Jake Waters accounted for five touchdowns, including four through the air, in just over three quarters of work, completing 21 of 27 passes for 294 yards. Senior receivers Tyler Lockett and Curry Sexton combined for 260 of the 294 yards through the air and three touchdowns. The running game also redeemed itself against the Jayhawks, netting 194 yards on the ground, including 64 by senior DeMarcus Robinson while Charles Jones had a touchdown. Lockett, who hauled in nine receptions for 119 yards with two touchdowns, broke the school career record for receptions at 222, passing his father, Kevin, who had 217 catches from 1993-96. His two touchdown catches gave him 26 for his career, which ties the school record with the elder Lockett. He also extended his own school record for career receiving yards. All told, the offense racked up 505 yards of total offense against Kansas, which marked the second time this season that the Wildcats have eclipsed 500 or more yards of offense. The defense also did their part in the victory, holding Kansas to 196 total yards with just 57 on the ground and forcing two interceptions of quarterback Michael Cummings. Place-kicker Matthew McCrane connected on two field goals from distances of 41 and 52. McCrane became the first K-State kicker to connect on two 50-yarders in a single season since Jeff Snodgrass in 2006, while he moved into the single season top 10 list with 14 field goals. HOW IT HAPPENED | First Half • Forcing a three-and-out on the game’s opening drive, Kansas State immediately took control of the game with 6-play, 65-yard drive that was capped by a 1-yard touchdown run by Waters. • Just three plays later, K-State was once again in the end zone, as Cummings threw an interception on the Jayhawks’ second play of its second drive to Dante Barnett. Waters immediately took advantage, completing a 44-yard pass to Lockett to make it 14-0. • After Randall Evans’ intercepted Cummings at the K-State 2, Waters orchestrated a 12-play, 74-yard drive that was capped by a 41-yard field goal by McCrane to make it 17-0. • Kansas got on the board in the second quarter with a 6-play, 54-yard drive that was capped by 27-yard strike from Cummings to Nick Harwell to cut the lead to 17-6 with 8:42 before halftime. • After Morgan Burns returned the kickoff 65 yards, Charles Jones ran in from 11 yards out to give the Wildcats a 24-6 lead. • After another 3-and-out, Waters continued the offense’s great start by leading an 11-play, 68-yard drive that ended with a Waters-to-Lockett 6-yard pass-and-catch. HOW IT HAPPENED | Second Half • K-State started the second half like it left off, as Waters hit a 13-yard strike to Jones that made it 38-6 just four minutes into the third quarter. • Kansas cut it to 38-13 at the 6:32 mark with a 19-yard touchdown catch by Trent Smiley. • The Wildcats again responded with a 37-yard TD reception by Sexton from Waters. • McCrane made it 48-13 early in the fourth quarter with a 52-yard field goal. • After a KU drive stalled on its own 37, K-State concluded the scoring with a 39-yard field goal from Jack Cantele.

• The Wildcats finished the regular season third in the Big 12 with a 7-2 record... Over the last four years, Kansas State has finished in the top three of the Big 12 standings three times... Despite the loss, K-State is a Big 12-best 27-9 (.750) since round-robin play started in 2011. • Jake Waters made his 25th career start under center for the Wildcats... He finished the contest going 22-of-27 through the air for 300 yards and two touchdowns... He has thrown for at least 200 yards in each of the last 12 games, the longest by a Bill Snydercoached quarterback and the longest streak since Josh Freeman also had a 12-game streak split between the 2007 and 2008 seasons. • Tyler Lockett broke the school’s career receiving touchdown record as he now has 27 and passed his father, Kevin, who had 26 between 1993 and 1996... With the touchdown record, he now owns all three of the school’s major career receiving records. • Lockett’s 14 receptions were a career high and tied for the third most in school history... He was one shy of tying the school record held by Jordy Nelson against Missouri State and Fresno State in 2007. • Lockett carded his 16th career 100-yard receiving game, extending his own school record, while it was his seventh this season to tie his last year’s total for second. • Tight end Zach Trujillo hauled in three passes for a career-high 88 yards, which included a 36-yard touchdown.
WACO, Texas -- Kansas State quarterback Jake Waters racked up over 300 yards of total offense and Tyler Lockett broke the school’s career receiving touchdown record, but the ninth-ranked Wildcats came up short to No. 5 Baylor, 38-27, at McLane Stadium. Waters went 22-of-27 through the air for 300 yards and two touchdowns, including one to Lockett, who finished with 14 receptions for 158 yards. His fourth-quarter score was the 27th receiving touchdown of his career as he broke the previous school record held by his father, Kevin. Additionally, his 14 receptions were one shy of Kansas State’s single-game record. Tight end Zach Trujillo hauled in three passes for a career-high 88 yards, including a 36-yard touchdown that capped off a 14-point second quarter. Running backs Charles Jones and DeMarcus Robinson combined for 76 yards on 33 carries, including a one-yard run by the former that got the Wildcats on the board. Senior linebacker Jonathan Truman recorded yet another double-digit tackle game as he came away with 13. Randall Evans had six tackles and picked off Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty in the end zone to halt a potential Bear scoring drive in the first quarter. Petty led an offense that racked up 584 yards by throwing for 412 yards and one touchdown. Shock Linwood rushed for 91 yards and a score, while Johnny Jefferson rushed for two touchdowns. HOW IT HAPPENED | First Half • Baylor received the opening kickoff and marched 81 yards in eight plays on a drive that was capped by a Petty one-yard QB sneak to make the score 7-0. • K-State managed just one first down on its opening drive and was forced to punt to Baylor, which drove to the Wildcat 9-yard line before Evans picked off a pass in the end zone. • Kansas State got on the board on a one-yard rush by Jones out of the Wildcat formation which capped a 10-play drive. The Bears returned the favor with an 11-play drive of their own that was finished off by a two-yard run by Jefferson that made the score 21-7. • The Wildcats pulled back to within a score when Waters found Trujillo on a perfect 36-yard pitchand-catch late in the second quarter. • K-State left too much time on the clock, however, as Baylor went 48 yards in 44 seconds before Chris Callahan hit a 46-yarder as time expired to send the Bears into the break, up 24-14. HOW IT HAPPENED | Second Half • K-State opened the second half on fire by driving all the way to the BU 7 on the opening possession, but the Wildcats had to settle for a 24-yard field goal by Matthew McCrane. • Baylor made the Wildcats pay quickly as it was in the end zone two plays later following a 58-yard pass from Petty to Antwan Goodley to put Baylor on top 31-17. • The Wildcats traded another three for seven as McCrane booted a 47-yarder midway through the third quarter before Jefferson tallied his second score of the game to make it 38-20. • Lockett’s record-breaking touchdown came on an 8-yard pass with 12:41 left in the game as KState pulled to within 11, but the Wildcats did not get on the board again as a late interception in BU territory allowed Baylor to run out the clock.
