CITY INFORMATION 2016 AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl // December 28, 2016 // NRG Stadium // Houston, Texas
HOUSTON, TEXAS ONE OF AMERICA’S LARGEST CITIES America’s fourth-largest city is a cosmopolitan destination, filled with world-class dining, arts, hotels, shopping and nightlife. Take a stroll through the historic Heights, spend the day exploring the Museum District or head down to Space Center Houston. Later on, grab a bite in one of dozens of award-winning restaurants, or hang out with the cool kids on Washington Avenue. There’s always something to do in this Southern hospitality meets urban chic city. With more than 2.2 million residents, the city attracts visitors and transplants with a wonderful mix of world-class arts, booming business, pro sports and award-winning cuisine. As the rest of the country discovers what locals have known all along, Houston is finally enjoying the recognition it deserves. Just last year, the city landed on several “best of” lists, including the Travel + Leisure Roundup of America’s Favorite Cities and the Hotwire.com index of most affordable U.S. vacation destinations. See for yourself, in Houston, where much of daily life happens outdoors, thanks to mild, year-round temperatures. Take time to explore the eclectic, culture-filled neighborhoods, gallery spaces and attractions, which offer diverse flavors that can only be found here. Take the food, for example. Countless cutting-edge chefs have made a home in Houston, where diners eat out more than residents of any other city. Here, you’ll find James Beard Award winners and internationally renowned chefs serving up innovative cuisine that frequently catches the attention of foodies in Bon Appetit, Food & Wine and Saveur. Venture Downtown during your stay and discover a thriving professional arts scene, with professional resident companies in ballet, opera, symphony and theater; only four other U.S. cities can say the same. And the nearby Museum District stakes its claim as the country’s fourth largest, with 18 cultural powerhouses set within blocks of one another. It has its own version of Central Park, too, offering nearly 1,500 acres of green space in the heart of the city. Just inside “the loop,” Memorial Park is home to a public golf course, swimming pool, tennis courts, trails and more. Downtown, Discovery Green park is outfitted with WiFi, a farmers market, dog runs, fine dining and ice-skating during the winter—just one more of the 650-plus urban green spaces filling the city. Not surprisingly, businesses also recognize the allure of Houston’s offerings. Twenty-five companies on the Fortune 500 list call the Energy Capital of the World home. Aeronautic research is unsurpassed at NASA headquarters—the facility responsible for putting the first man on the moon—and Texas Medical Center remains the largest in the world with 47 highly lauded research and treatment institutions. Live like a local for a few days and discover why Houston’s mix of international appeal and Southern charm have captured the imagination of tastemakers the world over. (Courtesy: visithouston.com) 4
BOWL PREVIEW 2016 AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl // December 28, 2016 // NRG Stadium // Houston, Texas
OLD BIG 12 MATCHUP ON TAP IN HOUSTON CATS FACE AGGIES IN BIG 12/SEC SHOWDOWN Two former conference rivals that have had some historic matchups over the years reunite in Houston as Kansas State takes on Texas A&M in the 2016 AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl, December 28, at NRG Stadium. This year’s AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl looks to be one of the more exciting bowl matchups of the season as both teams come into the contest with identical records yet possessing different playing styles. The AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl marks the 20th bowl game in K-State history and the 18th under Hall of Fame head coach Bill Snyder. The Wildcats will be making their second-ever appearance in the tradition-rich Texas Bowl and their seventh-straight bowl under Snyder. The Wildcats played in the inaugural Texas Bowl back in 2006 against Rutgers. After narrowly missing postseason play in the first season of his second tenure in 2009 (6-6 record), Snyder quickly led K-State back into the bowl picture in 2010 when Kansas State played in the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl following a 7-5 regular season. Following a 10-2 campaign in 2011 and a berth in the AT&T Cotton Bowl, Snyder guided the Wildcats to the 2012 Big 12 Championship and a spot in the 2013 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl against Oregon, K-State’s second BCS bowl game. In 2013, K-State won six of its last seven games of the season, culminated by a dominating win over the Michigan Wolverines in the 2013 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl to finish 8-5, before a 9-3 regular season mark in 2014 catapulted the Wildcats to the Valero Alamo Bowl against UCLA. Last year, the Wildcats won their final three games of the season to become bowl eligible and traveled to Memphis where they faced Arkansas in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
A LOOK AT THE WILDCATS K-State heads into bowl season as one of the hottest teams in college football, winning five of its last six games, including the final three. The Wildcats’ road to the AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl began with a tough road loss at No. 8 Stanford and followed with five wins over the next seven games, including Big 12 wins over Texas Tech, Texas and Iowa State. Following a tough fourth-quarter loss to Oklahoma State, K-State won at Baylor for the first time since 2002 and also kept the Governor’s Cup trophy in Manhattan for the eighth-straight season under Snyder with a 34-19 win over in-state rival Kansas – also giving Snyder his 200th career win. The Wildcats wrapped up their regular season with a dominating 30-6 victory at TCU, becoming just the third FBS team this season to start 3-3 and finish with eight wins.
A young Wildcat offense in 2016 was tested right out of the gate with a road game at Stanford but the unit continued to get better each week, and by the end of the regular season the offensive production – and the run game in particular – was firing on all cylinders. Quarterback Jesse Ertz heads into the bowl season as the fifth-leading rusher among FBS quarterbacks, while three different running backs (Charles Jones, Alex Barnes and Justin Silmon) hit the 100-yard mark in a game this season. A young offensive line, anchored by sophomore and AllBig 12 pick Dalton Risner, paved the way for a second-half of the season that saw K-State rush for 200 or more yards in each of the final six games, including three games with 300 or more yards while also averaging a school-record 5.6 yards per rush on the season. On defense, turnovers and stopping the run were the emphasis, and the Cats excelled at both as they enter the bowl game ranked 12th nationally in rush defense (112.6 ypg) and sixth nationally in turnover margin at plus-11. Individually, Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Jordan Willis has led the charge up front, leading the conference in sacks, while All-Big 12 linebacker Elijah Lee has led the team in tackles and could hit the century mark against the Aggies. The Wildcats have steadily been one of the top special teams units in all of college football under Snyder, and 2016 has been no different. Dominique Heath and Byron Pringle each have recorded touchdowns on returns this year as K-State continues to lead the nation in non-offensive touchdowns since 1999 (106) and combined kick/punt return scores since 2005 (42).
A LOOK AT THE AGGIES Texas A&M heads into the game with an identical 8-4 record and got off to a hot 6-0 start in 2016 with wins over ranked opponents UCLA, Auburn, Arkansas and Tennessee. A familiar face in Trevor Knight, the former Oklahoma quarterback, will be under center for the Aggies as the senior has thrown for 2,122 yards and 16 scores this season while rushing for 594 more yards and 10 scores. Dynamic playmakers are littered throughout the offense for Texas A&M, including running back Trayveon Williams and receiver/returner Christian Kirk. Williams has run for 1,024 yards and eight touchdowns, while Kirk has 77 catches for 842 yards and also averages 24.5 yards per punt return on the season. On defense, the Aggies are led by All-American defensive end Myles Garrett, who has 8.5 sacks and 15.0 tackles for loss, while Shaan Washington has collected a team-best 93 tackles this season.

FROM 3 TO 8
THE 200 CLUB
• K-State was sitting at 3-3 following its sixth game of the year, a 38-17 loss at No. 19 Oklahoma. However, the Wildcats were able to right the ship over the second half – going 5-1 in their final six games – to earn an 8-4 record in the regular season. • The Wildcats are one of only three Power 5 teams this year to reach at least eight regular-season wins despite starting the year 3-3, joining Georgia Tech and USC.
• With K-State’s 34-19 win over Kansas, head coach Bill Snyder became the 26th FBS coach all-time with 200 career victories, including the second to hit the mark this season (Nick Saban). • However, Snyder is only the sixth coach to reach the 200win mark and coach at only one school in his career.
BIG 12 FINISH • After starting the year predicted to finish eighth in the Big 12, all K-State did was win six conference games – including three road contests – to finish in sole possession of fourth place in the conference. • The Wildcats have finished fourth or better in the Big 12 in four of the six years since the round robin schedule was created in 2011.

THE CENTURY MARK NARROW MISSES • Despite the four-spot jump from the Big 12 preseason poll to the final standings, K-State was a few plays away from earning an 8-1 conference record as two of their three league defeats were by a combined seven points. • The Wildcats opened the conference slate at West Virginia and took a 16-3 lead into the fourth quarter until the Mountaineers scored a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns for a 17-16 win. • In K-State’s lone blemish during the second half of the season, the Cats led 18th-ranked Oklahoma State, 37-28, early in the fourth quarter before the Cowboys scored two touchdowns, including one with 1:46 left, to take a 43-37 lead. K-State marched down the field to try to tie the game but threw an interception in the end zone on the final play.
• Earlier this year, K-State became the third Big 12 program to reach 100 league wins since the conference began in 1996. • The Wildcats, who have 105 wins, are joined by Oklahoma (129) and Texas (118) in the century club.
TURNOVER TURNAROUND • A year after finishing minus-3 in the turnover battle, K-State enters the bowl season tied for sixth nationally and ranks first in the Big 12 with a plus-11 turnover margin. • The Wildcats have given up only 12 turnovers to tie for eighth nationally and lead the conference. • More significantly, K-State has allowed just 17 points of its turnovers, 27 less than the next best Big 12 team.

• Attendance at K-State games have been at an all-time high over the last five years as K-State has recorded 33-straight sellouts. • K-State, which has finished second in the nation in percentage of capacity filled over the last three years, finished the year ranked fourth (103.84-percent). • Twenty-one of the largest 25 crowds in stadium history have come since 2013.
SNYDER: HALL OF FAMER
YOUTH IS SERVED
• The architect of the “greatest turnaround in the history of college football,” Bill Snyder was inducted into the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame last December. • Snyder is just the fourth person in the history of college football to be inducted as an active coach. • Snyder has compiled an amazing 201-105-1 (.656) record in the midst of his 25th season at the helm of the Cats. • Holding 162 more victories than any other coach in K-State history, Snyder ranks first in the FBS in wins among coaches at their current schools and second in total wins among active coaches. • Additionally, Snyder has 118 conference wins to stand as one of four coaches with 100 Big 8/12 victories (Tom Osborne [153], Bob Stoops [117], Barry Switzer [100]).
• The 2016 team has been the youngest during Bill Snyder’s 25 years in Manhattan as Kansas State has a combined 125 starts from freshmen or sophomores. The previous high was 101 in 1989, Snyder’s first season at the helm. • A majority of the starts this year are by sophomores (87), while 38 starts have come from redshirt freshmen. • K-State started 11 underclassmen – including four redshirt freshmen – in the opener at Stanford. It was the most for either category since at least 1997 as K-State had no more than two freshmen starters in a season opener in any of the previous 18 years.
ROAD SCORING STREAK • Ian Patterson’s 27-yard field goal in the first quarter at TCU extended K-State’s consecutive road scoring streak to 94 true road games and 116 road/neutral site games. • The last time the Wildcats have not scored in a road or neutral-site game was in 1996 at Colorado.

THESE CATS ARE SMART • For a third-consecutive season, Kansas State led the conference in Academic All-Big 12 players with a school-record tying 29 honorees, including a conference-high 18 on the first team. • K-State also paced the Big 12 with two players that accomplished 4.0 GPAs in Matt Seiwert (agribusiness) and Zach Reuter (biochemistry). • Seiwert, who earned first-team honors last year, was one of six Wildcats repeating as first-team honorees, joining linebacker Will Davis, place kicker Ian Patterson, linebacker Trent Tanking, tight end Dayton Valentine and defensive end Tanner Wood. • K-State will have 21 players on its Texas Bowl roster who will already have their undergraduate degree in hand, which ranks third in the nation among bowl teams.

He took an interception 35 yards for a score against Texas Tech en route to Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honors.
• Junior linebacker Elijah Lee, a two-time All-Big 12 pick, leads the team and ranks fifth in the Big 12 with 98 tackles despite being a converted high school defensive end. • Lee got to that point by being a model of consistency as he has at least seven tackles in 13 of the last 19 games – including all but one Big 12 contest this year – while he has reached double figures on four occasions. • Of his 98 tackles, 67 have been solo stops to tie for 21st nationally and sit five away from entering the school’s single season top-10 list. • A product of Blue Springs, Missouri, Lee posted a career-high 14 tackles at West Virginia to earn Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors. • Lee also has two interceptions this year to give him five in his career, the most by a Wildcat linebacker under Bill Snyder. BARNETT SERVES AS
WILLIS GETS AFTER THE PASSER • A force from his defensive end positions, Jordan Willis was honored for his stellar play as the senior was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year by both the league’s coaches and Associated Press. • Named an All-American by multiple outlets, Willis’ accolades have mostly come from accumulating a school-record tying 11.5 sacks this year to rank ninth in the nation and tops in the Big 12. • Willis, who has sacks in 11 of the last 16 games, now has 26.0 sacks in his career to rank third in school history and seventh in Big 12 history.
VETERAN PRESENCE • A year after seeing his season end with an injury in the first half of the 2015 season opener, safety Dante Barnett has been his usual self during his second senior season. • Barnett, who received a medical hardship for the 2015 season, leads all K-State defenders with 242 career tackles, sitting eight stops shy of becoming the 27th player in school history with 250 career tackles. • The Tulsa, Oklahoma, who ranks sixth among active Big 12 players in career tackles, also has 180 career unassisted tackles to rank seventh in school history.

HEAD COACH BILL SNYDER 2016 AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl // December 28, 2016 // NRG Stadium // Houston, Texas
HEAD COACH
BILL SNYDER
25th Season at K-State
just the fourth person in the history of college football to be inducted into the
Hall of Fame as an active coach
Five-Time National Coach of the Year Precise. Intense. Tireless. Accomplished. Dedicated. Caring. Hall of Famer. 200-game Winner. 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 eight seasons back in charge, he has done just that – and then some. Over the past eight years under Snyder, K-State has totaled 65 victories – an average of 8.1 wins per year – advanced to seven-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 six seasons. He also, this past season, became just the 26th coach in the history of college football to reach 200 career wins and only the sixth to do so while coaching at the same school for his entire career. 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 11-win 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, was enshrined in the hall in December 2015. Snyder’s squad in 2016 was picked to finish eighth in the Big 12 Conference race, and to him and his Wildcat team, that was just fine. All they did was finish 8-4 in the regular season and go 5-1 over the final six games to advance to the program’s seventh-straight bowl game and 18th under the hall of fame coach. In fact, only Georgia Tech and USC joined K-State as teams that started 3-3 and finished with eight wins in 2016.

The Cats were put to the ultimate test in 2015 as virtually everyone outside of the Vanier Family Football Complex had concluded the season to be a failure in the middle of November. The difficulty of withstanding a large personnel turnover from the previous season was compounded by injuries at multiple positions early in the season, namely at quarterback and in the secondary. Following yet another rally that fell short at Texas Tech, the Wildcats were reeling, standing a 3-6 and suffering through a six-game losing streak. With their backs firmly against the wall, the Wildcats trailed to Iowa State, 35-14, at halftime and saw a five-year bowl streak slipping away. However, Snyder’s resilient group fought back and scored 10 points over the final 42 seconds of the contest to earn a 38-35 win and kick start a stretch of threestraight wins to end the season and become bowl eligible for a sixth-straight campaign. Following the win against Iowa State, K-State routed its in-state rival, Kansas, for a seventh-straight season and made another fourth-quarter comeback, this time against West Virginia, for a 24-23 win to earn another bowl berth. The in-season turnaround in 2015 was one of the best in school history, rivaled only by Snyder’s 2002 and 2013 squads. With the feat, K-State became just the sixth Power 5 team in the 12-game schedule era (2006) to stave off bowl elimination in at least three-straight games (2-6 or 3-6 record). Additionally, the Wildcats became just the third team since 1980 (joining 2011 Illinois and 2015 Indiana) to have a six-game losing streak yet finish the season with bowl eligibility. Throughout his entire coaching career, Snyder has emphasized an importance in special teams, and it was the specialty units that spearheaded the in-season turn around in 2015 as kick returner Morgan Burns was named the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year and an All-American by numerous outlets. In all, 10 Wildcats earned All-Big 12 honors, led by first teamers Burns, offensive lineman Cody Whitehair, place kicker Jack Cantele and fullback Winston Dimel. 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.

HEAD COACH BILL SNYDER 2016 AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl // December 28, 2016 // NRG Stadium // Houston, Texas 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 campaign 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 All-Big 12 honors in 2012, 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. The 2014 Wildcats collected 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. 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 AllBig 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 201-105-1 (.658) record during his tenure with the Wildcats, including a 117-80-1 (.590) mark in Big 8/12 games. His 201 victories are nearly five times the man in second place on K-State’s all-time coaching victories list and rank 26th in FBS history, including a No. 1 ranking among active coaches at their current schools. Additionally, he will become the 14th person in FBS history to be a head coach for at least 25 years at one school and never coach at another. 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 K-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. 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. K-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 in history to win 11 games six times in a seven-year stretch.
Snyder’s unprecedented success in 25 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 25 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
“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 17

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. 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. 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. 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 23 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 18
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. 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 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. Individually, Snyder has produced 56 different All-Americans during his 25 years as head coach, including eight consensus All-Americans. 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. 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. 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 several halls of fame that are listed below. The long-time mentor also involved in many organizations, including: • Chairman of the Kansas Mentors Council and the Kansas Leadership Council • Board of Directors for Kansas Leadership Center • Board of Directors of Prairiefire Museum of Natural History (K.C.) • Board of Trustees for the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame • Terry C. Johnson Cancer Research Center Advisory Council • Manhattan Community Foundation Board of Trustees • KSU Foundation Board of Trustees • 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, 76, 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.

• Eight Wildcats received their first-career starts Friday night... Among the group was running back Charles Jones, who earned his first-career start despite playing in his 27th-career game... Other firsttime starters on offense included Scott Frantz (LT), Tyler Mitchell (LG), Reid Najvar (C) and Byron Pringle (WR)... On defense, Trey Dishon (DT) and Reggie Walker (DE) earned their first-career starts. • After allowing 17 points and 202 yards of total offense in the first half, K-State’s defense held Stanford to just one touchdown and 70 yards over the final 30 minutes. • K-State outgained Stanford, 335272, overall – including a 218-70 mark in the second half – but lost the game... It was the first time the Wildcats lost when outgaining an opponent since a 33-29 defeat at Oklahoma State on Oct. 5, 2013. • Junior place kicker Matthew McCrane went 2-for-3 on field goals Friday evening... By making his first two field goals, he recorded 16 straight, which broke the record of 15 previously held by Jamie Rheem (10/2/99-11/13/99). • Coming off a season-ending injury in the first game of 2015, senior safety Dante Barnett returned with a vengeance, recording four tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss... It marked the second time in his career he recorded at least 2.0 TFLs. • Linebacker Charmeachealle Moore recovered a third-quarter fumble and ran 35 yards to set up K-State’s second field goal... It was K-State’s longest fumble return since Jarell Childs ran 56 yards against Texas Tech on Oct. 27, 2012.
STANFORD, Calif. – Behind an efficient offense and stingy defense, Stanford protected its home field on Friday night as the Cardinal defeated Kansas State, 26-13, in front of 46,147 fans at Stanford Stadium. The Wildcats (0-1) fell behind early, spotting Stanford the game’s first 17 points through the first 23 minutes of action. K-State’s defense went to work in the second half, limiting the Cardinal to just 70 yards of total offense, but the struggles to find the end zone plagued the Wildcats in the end. Junior Jesse Ertz, in his first action since a season-ending knee injury in the first game of 2015, completed 16-of-34 pass attempts for 207 yards and one touchdown. The majority of the ground gains came through senior Charles Jones, who rushed for 43 yards on eight carries. Sophomore Dominique Heath led the Wildcats in receiving with four catches for 65 yards, including a 44-yard grab late in the fourth quarter. Redshirt freshman Isaiah Zuber hauled in K-State’s lone touchdown, a 15-yard pass from Ertz with 2:20 left to play in the game. Senior Deante Burton and Jones also added four catches a piece for K-State. In total, the Wildcats amassed 335 yards of total offense with 243 coming through the air. K-State ran 24 more plays than the Cardinal and out-possessed Stanford by 1:58. On the defensive side, the Wildcats held Stanford’s (1-0) balanced effort to 272 yards of total offense. The front seven and company contained the Cardinal rushing attack to 105 yards on 30 rushes, as Heisman Trophy runner-up Christian McCaffrey ran 22 times for 126 yards and two touchdowns. Stanford quarterbacks Ryan Burns and Keller Chryst combined to complete the team’s first 11 passes. The duo finished 15-of-19 for 167 yards and one score through the air. In the second half, K-State surrendered just 70 yards, with 41 alone coming on McCaffrey’s second touchdown late in the fourth quarter. The Stanford offense executed 20 plays compared to the Wildcats’ 48 after the break. Junior linebacker Elijah Lee had a game-high 12 tackles, tying his career-high. Senior defensive end Jordan Willis finished five tackles, including a sack and a forced fumble. The fumble was recovered by senior linebacker Charmeachealle Moore, who returned it 35 yards to put the Wildcats in scoring position. In his first game since returning from a season-ending injury, senior captain Dante Barnett collected four tackles, including one sack and two and a half tackles for loss. Special teams played a major role, as always, with the Wildcats needing the help of place kicker Matthew McCrane. The junior from Brownwood, Texas, booted 2-of-3 through the uprights, connecting from 30 yards twice and missing from 42 yards out. McCrane also displayed his delicate touch with a perfectly execute onside kick late in the game.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State dominated defensively and ran with conviction in its return to Bill Snyder Family Stadium, defeating Florida Atlantic, 63-7, in front of 50,871 fans. The Wildcats (1-1) flexed their muscles early, putting 21 points on the board in the first quarter. Three FAU turnovers turned into 21 points for K-State in the first half as the home team built a 42-0 advantage at the half. A special teams’ touchdown propelled the Wildcats after the break as the team eclipsed the 60-point mark for the first time since scoring 62 against Texas A&M on Oct. 17, 2009. K-State rushed for 336 yards and seven touchdowns on 54 attempts, the first time eclipsing the 300-yard mark since going for 327 yards against Baylor in 2013. K-State added 159 yards through the air, including the game’s opening touchdown, to combine for 495 yards of total offense, as the Wildcats won the time of possession battle by just over 10 minutes. In his second start of the season, junior Jesse Ertz completed 8-of-13 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown. Ertz rushed nine times for 40 yards, including for his first career touchdown from 12-yards out in the second quarter. The ground game was a group effort for the Wildcats, with seven players carrying the ball on five or more occasions. Sophomore Dalvin Warmack led the charge, rushing for 90 yards on eight carries, while redshirt freshman Alex Barnes gained 73 yards on eight carries. K-State’s scoring was largely the product of sophomore fullback Winston Dimel, who bouldered into the endzone four times on his five carries. Defensively, K-State’s front seven limited FAU to just 82 yards on 37 rushes and forced two fumbles. The Wildcats’ bundled up running backs Greg Howell, who ran for FAU’s touchdown in addition to 34 yards, and Kerrith Whyte, who led the Owl rushing attack with 54 yards on 10 carries. The Wildcats recorded six tackles for loss and sacked FAU quarterback Jason Driskel four times. The secondary surrendered just 129 passing yards and added two interceptions of their own, as sophomore safety Kendall Adams and freshman cornerback D.J. Reed collected their first career interceptions. Sophomore cornerback Duke Shelley paced K-State players with seven tackles, all of which were solo. Senior linebacker Charmeachealle Moore added a forced fumble and a fumble recovery – his second fumble recovery of the season. K-State’s special teams highlight came through Dominique Heath’s 75-yard punt return touchdown in the third quarter, boosting K-State’s number of non-offensive touchdown’s to 102, the nation’s most since 1999.
• K-State recorded three straight one-play touchdown drives in the first half... The Wildcats had five such touchdown drives all of last year... The three touchdowns spanned a combined 18 yards and lasted a combined 15 seconds. • Dominique Heath hauled in three passes for 40 yards and a touchdown, while he also took a punt 75 yards for a second in the third quarter... His 75-yard return touchdown was the longest by a Wildcat since Tramaine Thompson went 89 yards in the 2012 home opener against Missouri State. • Dalvin Warmack had a rush of 43 yards in the first half, which bettered his previous career long, a 22-yard at UTSA last year... His 90 yards topped his 40-yard output against the Roadrunners last year. • Winston Dimel recorded four rushing touchdowns, which was tied for the third most in school history and a new career high... It was the second-straight year a Wildcat scored at least four rushing touchdown (Joe Hubener vs. TCU)... It was his third-career multi-touchdown game after two touchdowns against both South Dakota and at Kansas last season.

• Head coach Bill Snyder improved his career record to 195-102-1 (.656) as he moved into sole possession of 28th place all-time in FBS history... Snyder’s win total is the most by an active coach at their current school... He is now five victories shy of becoming the 25th coach in FBS history with 200 career wins. • K-State entered the locker room with a 35-0 lead, a week after leading FAU 42-0 at the break... It marked the first time since 2002 the Wildcats tallied at least 35 first-half points in consecutive weeks... That season, the Wildcats scored 47 firsthalf points against Louisiana-Monroe and 43 points in the first half against Eastern Illinois. • The Wildcats had another great effort in the red zone, going 5-for-5 with five touchdowns... Over the last 10 games dating back to last year, K-State is perfect on its last 41 attempts with 31 touchdowns. • Kansas State junior linebacker Jayd Kirby recorded the first blocked punt of the season, getting his hand on a Missouri State punt in the second quarter... This was the first blocked punt since Morgan Burns blocked a punt against West Virginia on Dec. 5, 2015.
MANHATTAN, Kan. – A delayed start to the game didn’t slow the Kansas State offense, as the Wildcats piled on 35 points before the half to dismantle Missouri State, 35-0, at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The game, which was delayed by 55 minutes at the start, was not resumed after another weather delay during halftime. Similar to the previous week, K-State took little time to exert its power, scoring 14 points in the first 10 minutes of play. In the two quarters of action, K-State accumulated 270 yards of offense, with 165 coming on the ground through seven different rushers. The Wildcat defense limited Missouri State to just 54 yards and forced two fumbles on 29 snaps from scrimmage. Junior quarterback Jesse Ertz led the offensive surge again, completing 7-of-8 passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns. Ertz also topped all K-State rushers, carrying the ball three times for 85 yards, including separate runs of 35 and 40-yards. Alongside Ertz, the Wildcats continued with their running back by committee strategy. Senior Charles Jones ran in the game’s first touchdown as he gained 23 yards on five carries and also caught a ball for another 16 yards. Sophomore Winston Dimel, fresh off his four touchdowns last week, bouldered in for two more scores on his seven rushes for 19 yards, while fellow sophomore Justin Silmon ran it three times for 19 yards. Through the air, nine different Wildcats hauled in 10 completions for 105 yards and two scores. Sophomore Byron Pringle caught his first career touchdown pass as a Wildcat, a 19-yarder, and added another grab for 30 receiving yards. Dimel claimed two balls for 19 yards, while senior Deante Burton caught one pass for 20 yards. Sophomore Dominique Heath pulled down K-State’s other touchdown reception from 9-yards out. On the defensive side of the ball, K-State surrendered only four first downs in holding Missouri State to 54 yards of offense. The Wildcats’ front seven suffocated the Bears’ rushing attack, allowing just 30 yards on 17 attempts – 1.8 yards per carry. The secondary didn’t budge much either as Missouri State quarterback Brodie Lambert completed just 3-of-12 passes for 24 yards. Senior linebacker Charmeachealle Moore totaled five tackles, including one for loss, while senior safety Dante Barnett recorded four tackles, all of which were solo. The defense also snatched two turnovers – a fumble recovery by senior defensive end Jordan Willis and an interception by junior defensive tackle Matt Seiwert. Special team duties were again limited this week, as the special teams highlight came through Jayd Kirby, who recorded K-State’s first blocked punt of the season midway through the second quarter. After the 55-minute long delay, kickoff took place at 7:05 p.m. Despite some wait and continued severe weather, the game was not continued out of the halftime break. The game, with stats remaining official, was called at 35-0.

• West Virginia defeated K-State for the first time since the Mountaineers joined the league prior to the 2012 season. • The Wildcats went 4-for-4 in the red zone but had to settle for three field goals as opposed to only one touchdown... Over the last 11 games dating back to last year, K-State is perfect on its last 45 attempts with 32 touchdowns... The last time K-State has not converted a red-zone trip into points was vs. Oklahoma on Oct. 17, 2015. • Kansas State shut out West Virginia in the first half... It was the first time the Wildcats pitched a shutout in a half in a Big 12 road game since the second half at Iowa State in 2014... It was also the third time this year the Wildcats shut out an opponent in a half (FAU 2nd Half, Missouri State 1st half)... West Virginia scored a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, making it five quarters between touchdowns allowed by the K-State defense. • Jordan Willis tallied 2.0 sack Saturday afternoon, moving into a tie for eighth place in school history in career sacks with 18.5... He is tied with with Chris Johnson (1997-2000). • Junior linebacker Elijah Lee recorded his first interception of the season and fourth of his career in the first quarter... Lee’s four career interceptions are the most by a K-State linebacker since Bryan Hickman also had four from 200003... Lee also added a career-high 14 tackles, bettering his previous high of 12 against Louisiana Tech last year and this year at Stanford.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia scored the game’s final 14 points to stay unbeaten and complete the comeback against Kansas State, 17-16, before 61,701 fans at Milan Puskar Stadium. The loss was K-State’s first to West Virginia since the Mountaineers joined the Big 12. Like the previous two weeks, K-State jumped out to an early advantage, scoring the game’s first 13 points. The Wildcats held a slim margin in total offense at the half, 178-174, but were entirely stumped in the second period of play, mustering only 98 yards. West Virginia found its groove after the break, accumulating 248 yards of offense on its way to two fourth-quarter touchdowns, including the game-winner with just over six minutes to play. K-State’s offensive effort was led by junior quarterback Jesse Ertz, who ran for the Wildcats’ lone touchdown score in the first quarter. Ertz finished with 25 yards on 12 rushing attempts, while completing 10-of-30 passing attempts for 166 yards and one interception. On the ground, the Wildcats’ running back by committee strategy was held to just 120 yards. Senior Charles Jones had the most success, carrying it 16 times for 53 yards while sophomore Dalvin Warmack ran for 35 yards on eight carries. K-State managed just 2.9 yards per rush on its 42 attempts. Leading the K-State receivers was sophomore Byron Pringle, who hauled in four passes for 61 yards. Pringle was followed by sophomore Dominique Heath, who caught two balls for 35 yards. The Wildcats finished with 286 yards of total offense with 166 yards coming through the air. K-State ran four fewer plays from the line of scrimmage, but won the time of possession battle by more than seven minutes. On the defensive side of the ball, the Wildcats forced two turnovers and won out on 10-of-14 third-down situations, but were ultimately hurt through the air as the Mountaineers averaged 12.4 yards per completion. Junior linebacker Elijah Lee paced all defenders with 14 total tackles, a career-high, including 12 solo tackles, one sack and one interception – the fourth of his career. Senior safety Dante Barnett was in on eight tackles with his fellow captain Jordan Willis getting in on five tackles, including two sacks to move into K-State’s career top-10 list. Special teams duties were ever-so important, as the Wildcats relied on field goal makes. Junior Matthew McCrane delivered on 3-of-4 attempts, connecting from 37, 31, and 22 yards. In the return game, Pringle accumulated 101 yards on his three returns, including a long return of 58 yards. For the second consecutive week, the Wildcats received the opening kickoff. Ertz and company were forced to punt on the game’s first drive before the defense worked itself out of a jam on West Virginia’s opening possession, as the Mountaineers were unable to connect on a 30-yard field goal.

The Wildcats mustered up 231 yards on the ground on 39 attempts – an average of 5.9-yards per rush. K-State finished with 335 yards of total offense with 231 of those yards coming on the ground. K-State ran just 59 plays compared to the Red Raiders’ 91 from the line of scrimmage and lost the time of possession battle to Tech by just under three minutes.

• The Sooners became the first home team to win in the series since they did so in 2009, stopping a five-game winning streak by the road team. • Kansas State went on a 17-play touchdown drive in the first half, which lasted 8 minutes and 32 seconds... It was the Wildcats’ longest drive in terms of plays and time since also going 17 plays in a 9-minute, 17-second touchdown drive last year against Baylor. • The Wildcats went 2-for-2 in the red zone with one touchdown and one field goal... K-State is perfect on its last 53 attempts, which is the nation’s longest active streak... Of those 53 attempts, the Wildcats have come away with 36 touchdowns... The last time K-State has not converted a red-zone trip into points was nearly a year ago – Oct. 17, 2015 – against Oklahoma. •Dominique Heath tallied seven receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown... He set new career highs in receptions and yards... His previous highs were five receptions against Iowa State last year and 65 yards at Stanford earlier this year.
NORMAN, Okla. – A high-powered Oklahoma offense proved to be too much for Kansas State, as the Wildcats fell 38-17 to the Sooners before 86,049 fans at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Oklahoma’s victory marked the first win by a home team in the series since the Sooners did so in 2009. K-State fell behind early, 14-0, in the first quarter and was never able to dig itself out. The Wildcats allowed Oklahoma to rack up 287 yards in the first half, including 200 through the air, as the Sooners averaged 8.7 yards per play and held a 24-10 lead at the break. K-State was forced to replace starting quarterback Jesse Ertz just one play into the third quarter and wasn’t able to recover behind backup Joe Hubener, who led the offense to just one score. The Big 12’s top ranked defense surrendered 500 yards of offense for the second consecutive game, as Baker Mayfield threw for four touchdowns, including two to Dede Westbrook after intermission. Offensively, it was a game of halves for K-State’s quarterbacks. Ertz, a junior, had an efficient first half, completing 8-of-14 passes for 68 yards. Despite only playing two quarters, Ertz was K-State’s leading rusher, going for 40 yards on seven carries and one touchdown. In the second half, Hubener took command through the air, completing 12-of-23 passes for 157 yards, including a 54-yard touchdown pass to sophomore receiver Dominique Heath. The Wildcats’ running back by committee effort was slowed mightily by Oklahoma’s front seven. K-State managed only 110 yards on the ground. Senior Charles Jones ran it a team-leading eight times for 34 yards, while sophomore Justin Silmon rushed six times for 35 yards. The receiving corps featured seven different Wildcats this week, led by Heath, who had a career day by hauling in seven of his nine targets for 101 yards and a touchdown. Senior Deante Burton caught four passes for 35 yards, while sophomore Byron Pringle grabbed three balls for 43 yards. Jones and redshirt freshman Isaiah Zuber also pitched in a pair of catches for 12 and 14 yards, respectively. The Wildcats finished with 335 yards of total offense for the second consecutive week, with 225 coming through the passing attack. K-State ran 69 plays compared to OU’s 65 and averaged 4.9 yards per play, while also winning the time of possession battle by nearly two minutes. Defensively, K-State was spread out trying to corral Oklahoma’s offensive weapons. Mayfield was 25-of-31 for 346 yards and four touchdowns on the day, throwing three alone to Westbrook. The Sooners gashed K-State for 510 yards of total offense, but were held to 138 yards on the ground. Sophomore running back Joe Mixon led the way out of the backfield for OU, carrying it 19 times for 88 yards. Sophomore safety Kendall Adams paced all K-State defensive players with 11 total tackles, including seven solo. Junior linebacker Elijah Lee and senior safety Dante Barnett both followed Adams with 10 tackles apiece, while senior defensive end Jordan Willis secured nine tackles, including one for loss. Sophomore cornerback Duke Shelley forced the game’s lone turnover, his first career interception, in the third quarter. The takeaway was the K-State defense’s 10th of the season, pushing the team turnover margin to +7.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Two first half rushing touchdowns from quarterback Jesse Ertz and an allaround resilient defensive effort propelled K-State over Texas, 24-21, at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in front of 52,328 fans. K-State’s victory was its sixth straight over Texas at home and the eighth in the last 10 meetings between the teams. The Longhorns have not won in Manhattan since 2002. Opposite of last week, K-State went ahead early, 14-0, just minutes into the second quarter and held a 21-7 advantage at the half. The Wildcats dominated the first half’s time of possession, holding the ball for more than 23 minutes, while running 26 more plays en route to 244 total yards. Texas was held to six first downs and 160 total yards before the break, with 80 of those yards alone coming on their touchdown pass. A defensive battle broke out in the second half as K-State only mustered eight first downs and 161 yards. The Longhorns came up with three K-State turnovers after the break, but the Wildcat defense did not allow a point of those turnovers. Ertz had his most efficient outing of the season, accounting for all three of the Wildcats’ touchdowns. He finished 20-of-27 for 171 yards with one touchdown, while also running 18 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns. Ertz was replaced in the fourth quarter by senior Joe Hubener, who took care of the final two series for K-State. Outside of Ertz’s rushing effort, K-State was paced by two running backs in the running game. Senior Charles Jones rushed 12 times for 81 yards, moving him into 13th place on K-State all-time rushing yards list with 1,557. Sophomore Justin Silmon carried the ball 11 times for 58 yards, including a 25-yard long run in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats racked up 234 rushing yards on 51 carries, an average of 4.6 yards per rush. For the second consecutive week, sophomore Dominique Heath led the way for K-State receivers. Heath seven passes for 41 yards, while senior Deante Burton brought in four passes for 53 yards, including K-State’s longest pass of the day of 31 yards. Sophomore Byron Pringle hauled in four balls for 42 yards, as well as the Wildcats’ lone receiving score – the second of his young K-State career. The Wildcats finished with 405 yards of total offense – more than 60 yards above their average, thanks in part to 234 rushing yards. K-State ran 78 plays compared to Texas’ 62, while also winning the time of possession battle by nearly 17 minutes. On the defensive side of the ball, K-State was tasked with slowing a Longhorn offense that boasts the Big 12’s leading rusher, D’Onta Foreman, and an attack that racks up nearly 500 yards of total offense per week. The Wildcats were not phased, though, limiting Texas’ to just 344 total yards and containing Freeman to 124 yards rushing, 22 below his average. Junior linebacker Elijah Lee and senior defensive end Jordan Willis led the charge with seven tackles apiece. Willis recorded three tackles for loss, including two sacks, moving him into fourth in school history in sacks with 22.5. Three other Wildcats – senior safety Dante Barnett, senior linebacker Charmeachealle Moore and sophomore safety Kendall Adams – recorded five tackles each, while sophomore cornerback D.J. Reed and junior defensive end Tanner Wood pitched in four tackles, as well.

AMES, Iowa – A fourth quarter goal-line stand by the Kansas State defense proved to be the game’s deciding moment as the Wildcats withstood a late Iowa State comeback, 31-26, in front of 52,763 fans at Jack Trice Stadium. K-State built a two touchdown lead by halftime behind a strong running presence in the early going as the Wildcats ground and pound attack went for 149 yards in the first half, averaging 7.5 yards per rush. The Wildcats ticked away more than 18 minutes of the clock in the first two quarters and were an efficient 6-of-8 on third down opportunities. Iowa State was held to just 133 total yards on 30 plays in the first half with the K-State defense smothering the Cyclone running game for just 54 yards. Despite falling behind by three scores to begin the fourth quarter, the second half’s final statistics flipped as Iowa State racked up 360 total yards on its way to making it a five-point game late. The Cyclones threw for 260 yards in the second half and limited K-State to just 141 total yards, but a key fourth down stop at their own 1-yard line proved to be the Wildcats’ game-clinching moment with six minutes to play. Offensively, K-State was led by junior Jesse Ertz, who finished 18-of-28 for 151 yards and one touchdown. Ertz was also K-State’s leading rusher as he took off nine times for career-high 106 yards, including a career-long run of 54 to set up K-State’s opening field goal. Ertz’s day on the ground marked two new career highs and was the fourth time in eight games this season he has eclipsed the 75-yard rushing mark. Three running backs carried it five or more times on Saturday, with sophomore Justin Silmon being the Wildcats’ biggest gainer behind Ertz, rushing nine times for 54 yards and one touchdown. Freshman Alex Barnes rushed five times for 37 yards and his first touchdown as a Wildcat. For the third consecutive week, sophomore Dominique Heath led the way for K-State receivers. Heath caught a career-high nine balls for 46 yards, while senior Deante Burton brought in five passes for 72 yards and K-State’s first touchdown – his first of the year. The Wildcats finished with 398 yards of total offense with 247 yards earned between the tackles. K-State finished 8-of-12 on third downs, and despite running three fewer plays than Iowa State, won the time of possession battle by more than six minutes. Defensively, the Wildcats’ were top notch in the first half, but struggled after the break as the Cyclones put together 493 yards of total offense with 339 through the air. However, K-State held Iowa State to 7-of-15 on third down conversions and stumped the Cyclones’ crucial fourth down chances 2-of-5 times. Sophomore cornerback D.J. Reed paced all Wildcat defenders in tackles, as he tallied a career-high 14, matching Elijah Lee’s effort at West Virginia on Oct. 1 for the most tackles in a game this season. Lee, a junior linebacker, was second in tackles for K-State, as he was in on 11, while senior safety Dante Barnett and senior linebacker Charmeachealle Moore each added eight tackles apiece. Sophomore Duke Shelley came up with the game’s lone turnover in the first half, an interception, that is his second of the season.
SCORING SUMMARY • Matthew McCrane connected on a 24-yard field goal with 10:12 left in the first quarter, improving K-State’s road/neutral site scoring streak to 114-consecutive games... The last time the Wildcats have been held off the scoreboard on the road was a 12-0 loss at Colorado in 1996. • Jesse Ertz rushed for 106 yards on nine carries... It was a career high in rushing yards as he became the first Wildcat quarterback with a 100-yard game since Joe Hubener against Baylor on Nov. 5, 2015. • Dominique Heath and Deante Burton combined for 14 catches for 118 yards and a touchdown... Heath’s nine catches were a new career high and marked the thirdstraight game with at least seven receptions, while it was the most by a Wildcat since Tyler Lockett (13) and Curry Sexton (10) in the Alamo Bowl following the 2014 season... Burton, who picked up his first touchdown of the season in the second quarter, tied his career high in catches.

• With 345 rushing yards on Saturday, the Wildcats have recorded three straight 200-yard rushing performances against conference foes for the first time since 2003... K-State, which had 234 yards on the ground against Texas and 247 last week at Iowa State, accomplished the feat for the first time since 2003 against Iowa State (356), at Nebraska (248) and against Missouri (367) 13 years ago... The 345 yards rushing were a season-high and the most since piling up 346 yards against Kansas on Oct. 6, 2012. • Duke Shelley intercepted his third pass of the season in the third quarter and returned it 29 yards for a score... It was the Wildcats’ second pick-six of the year, the first time K-State had multiple interception-return scores since 2013 (3)... After recording a pick last week at Iowa State, Shelley became the first Wildcat with interceptions in consecutive games since Randall Evans had one in three-straight games (WVU, KU, BU) in 2014. • Junior quarterback Jesse Ertz rushed for a career-high 153 rushing yards and three touchdowns on a career-high 30 attempts, while he threw for 87 yards on 12-of-18 aim... His three rushing scores were the most by a K-State quarterback since Joe Hubener had three last year against Texas Tech... He also recorded his second straight 100yard rushing game (106 at Iowa State), the first Wildcat with consecutive 100-yard games since John Hubert in 2013 (105 vs. Iowa State, 157 at Texas Tech) and the first quarterback to do so since Daniel Sams in 2013 (118 at Oklahoma State, 199 vs. Baylor).
MANHATTAN, Kan. – A pair of fourth quarter touchdowns were too much for K-State to overcome as the Wildcats fell to Oklahoma State in the final minutes, 43-37, in front of 52,450 fans at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The loss was K-State’s first to the Cowboys in Manhattan since 2010. K-State jumped out to an early advantage, 13-0, midway through the first quarter before entering the half trailing 21-16. The Wildcats put up 215 yards of total offense, including 153 on the ground, on 35 plays before the break and held onto the ball for more than 19 minutes of action. Oklahoma State did its work through the air, throwing for 225 yards and three touchdowns before half. The second half featured four turnovers and a true back-and-forth contest. The Wildcats ran for 192 yards after half, while the Cowboys threw for an additional 232 yards. Oklahoma State scored the game’s final 15 points with under eight minutes to play and came up with an interception on K-State’s final play to seal the victory. The Wildcats were led out of the huddle by a huge effort from junior quarterback Jesse Ertz. Ertz was 12-of-18 for 87 yards and one interception through the air, but ran for a career-high 153 yards on 30 attempts, including a career best three rushing touchdowns. His rushing effort marked the first time a K-State QB has run for 100 yards in back-to-back games since 2013. A true running-back-by-committee effort backed up Ertz out of the backfield as three backs carried the ball five or more times. Redshirt freshman Alex Barnes ran eight times for 72 yards, while senior Charles Jones rushed seven times for 70 yards. Sophomore Justin Silmon carried the ball five times for 29 yards and sophomore Winston Dimel’s only carry, a 10-yarder, was K-State’s second rushing score of the game early on. The receiving corps was used few and far between on Saturday, but was led by sophomore Dominique Heath for the third straight week. Heath hauled in four balls for 48 yards, including the Wildcats’ longest completion of 32 yards. Only one other Wildcat caught more than one pass as redshirt freshman Isaiah Zuber brought down four for 20 yards. The Wildcats finished with 432 yards of total offense, including 345 on the ground – more than 150 yards above their season average. K-State ran 74 plays compared to Oklahoma State’s 64, while also winning the time of possession battle by exactly 13 minutes. On the defensive side of the ball, K-State was tasked with slowing a passing attack that averages more than 300 yards per game. Big plays of 54 yards and 82 yards proved to be the deciding factors as OSU put up 457 yards in the air en route to 637 yards of total offense. Junior linebacker Elijah Lee led the charge with eight tackles and added a fumble recovery early in the second half. Senior linebacker Charmeachealle Moore and sophomore cornerback D.J. Reed got in on seven tackles apiece, while Reed also secured his third interception of the season. Sophomore corner Duke Shelley also grabbed his third interception of the year and returned it for his first career pick-6 in the third quarter.

• The victory snapped a four-game losing streak to the Bears as it was K-State’s first win over Baylor since a 36-35 triumph in Manhattan in 2011...

His four scores were the most by a freshman in a single game in school history, while it was tied for third overall... His 129 yards rank third in school history among freshmen. • Wide receiver Deante Burton carded four receptions for 82 yards... With his 37-yard catch in the second quarter, he became the 29th player in school history to eclipse the 1,000yard mark for a career. • Defensive back Donnie Starks recorded a pair of interceptions in the second half, the first two picks of his career... His two picks in a game are tied for seventh in school history...

WACO, Texas – Redshirt freshman running back Alex Barnes scored four second-half touchdowns, including three in a 21-point third quarter, as Kansas State reached bowl eligibility for the seventh consecutive season with a 42-21 win over Baylor. The four rushing touchdowns were the most-ever by a Wildcat freshman, while 129 yards on the ground ranks third in school history among freshmen. The win was Bill Snyder’s 199th all-time, moving him into sole possession of 26th place all-time in FBS victories. It was also K-State’s first win over Baylor since 2011 and the first win in Waco since 2002, as the Wildcats are now bowl eligible for the seventh consecutive season and 18th time under Snyder. K-State held the high-powered Baylor offense scoreless for the opening 22 minutes before the Bears turned two K-State turnovers into a 14-7 halftime lead. The Wildcats put up a balanced 174 yards of total offense – 85 on the ground, 89 through the air – on 36 plays before the break and held possession for nearly 18 minutes of action. Baylor, using quarterback Zach Smith for the injured Seth Russell, was held to 167 yards of offense, including 147 in the passing attack. The game flipped on its head in the second half, as K-State took command behind its ground and pound attack. The Wildcats ran for 153 yards and five touchdowns after the half, while the defense came up with three interceptions to foil any Baylor comeback. The Wildcats were led out of the huddle by junior quarterback Jesse Ertz for the 10th time this season. Ertz finished 16-of-25 for 177 yards through the air and was K-State’s second leading rusher with 46 yards on 17 carries, including a long of 40 yards to set up the Wildcats’ first touchdown. What started as a running back by committee early on, did not last in the second half. Barnes burst onto the scene with a series of bouldering runs in the third quarter – a quarter in which he found the end zone three times. Barnes led the Wildcats’ backfield with 19 carries for 129 yards and four touchdowns, marking his first 100-yard rushing game and first multi-touchdown game of his young career. K-State’s starting running back, senior Charles Jones, finished with six rushes for 46 yards, while sophomore fullback Winston Dimel aided the rushing effort with two touchdowns on his three carries. On the defensive side of the ball, K-State held Baylor to just 368 yards of total offense, the fewest allowed to the Bears by any team this season. The Wildcats’ defense also posted shutouts in two quarters of play, the first and third, a feat that had yet to be accomplished against the Bears this season. Sophomore corner Duke Shelley and senior linebacker Charmeachealle Moore paced K-State defenders with eight tackles apiece. Sophomore corner D.J. Reed was in on seven tackles and added four pass breakups, while sophomore safety Kendall Adams also made seven stops. Senior corner Donnie Starks had a career day by reeling in two interceptions, while senior safety Dante Barnett also snatched his first interception of the season. Juniors Tanner Wood and Elijah Lee were credited with a forced fumble before senior defensive end Reggie Walker came up with the recovery.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Another dominant rushing effort propelled K-State to a 34-19 win over the Kansas Jayhawks, giving head coach Bill Snyder his 200th career victory in front of a sellout crowd of 52,637 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Snyder becomes the 26th coach in FBS history to eclipse the 200-win mark, but is only the sixth coach to have all of his career victories at one school. It was Snyder’s eighth-straight win over KU and 21st overall in his 25 seasons, tying his 21 wins against Iowa State for the most victories by a current FBS coach over any one opponent. K-State trailed by three in the opening minutes but took off running, utilizing 160 first-half rushing yards and a defensive touchdown to pull ahead before intermission, 20-3. Kansas was held to just 127 yards of total offense, while turning it over twice in the first half. The Wildcats added a touchdown on their first possession of the third quarter and just seconds into the fourth to put the game out of reach as K-State rushed for more than 200 yards for the fifth-consecutive game, its longest such streak since 2003. Junior quarterback Jesse Ertz led the way for K-State out of the gate, rushing 12 times for 99 yards – including a long of 34 to set up K-State’s second touchdown. Ertz played only one snap in the second half before being replaced by senior Joe Hubener, who completed 2-of-4 passes for 40 yards while adding seven rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. Redshirt freshman Alex Delton also appeared and was the Wildcats’ third-leading rusher with 53 yards on 12 carries. Out of the backfield, senior Charles Jones earned the start, but redshirt freshman Alex Barnes, fresh off his four-touchdown effort against Baylor, carried 10 times for 103 yards and one touchdown, a 31-yarder in which he leaped over a defender and touched the right pylon with the nose of the football. Barnes’ 103 rushing yards moved his season total to 442 yards, pushing him into second place in school history among freshmen rushers. K-State also received ground game contributions from sophomore Winston Dimel, who had two touchdowns, his 11th and 12th of the season, while sophomore Dalvin Warmack had K-State’s longest run of the day for 36 yards on one of his five rushes. The Wildcats finished the day with 441 yards of total offense, including 342 on the ground, surpassing the 300-yard rushing mark for the third time this season. With the rushing effort, K-State’s season total ballooned to 2,459 yards, good enough for eighth on the all-time list for rushing yards in a season and the most since 2012. On the defensive side of the ball, K-State allowed 403 yards to the Kansas offense, including 302 passing yards, but forced three Jayhawk turnovers while holding them to just 4-of-14 on third down conversions. Junior linebacker Elijah Lee led the charge for K-State’s defensive players with eight tackles and one interception – the fifth of his career, which is the most all-time by a linebacker under Snyder. Sophomore safety Kendall Adams and senior linebacker Charmeachealle Moore were up next, each adding six tackles apiece. In their last home games, seniors Dante Barnett and Jordan Willis secured four tackles. Willis tallied 1.5 sacks, giving him 10.5 on the year and 25 for his career.

• The victory gave K-State sole possession of fourth place in the Big 12 standings after being predicted the finish eighth in the preseason poll... It is the fifth time the Wildcats have finished fifth or better in conference standings in the last six years... Additionally, K-State finished with six Big 12 victories for the fourth time in the last six years. • With the 336 rushing yards, K-State improved its season total to 2,795 to jump from eighth to fourth in school history... K-State also improved its single-season marks for rushing touchdowns, a mark that now stands at 36 to rank seventh in school history..
FORT WORTH, Texas – For the first time since 2012, Kansas State was powered by two 100-yard rushers as the Wildcats handled TCU for a 30-6 victory before 42,746 fans at Amon G. Carter Stadium. K-State held a small advantage at the half, 10-6, behind 192 rushing yards and a 32-yard rushing touchdown from quarterback Jesse Ertz. TCU was held to just 158 yards of total offense and two field goals before the break. The Wildcats’ defense clamped down after intermission, surrendering only 122 yards in the second half while also forcing five three-and-out possessions from the Horned Frogs. Meanwhile, Ertz and sophomore wide receiver Byron Pringle connected for K-State’s longest offensive play this season, an 83-yard touchdown score. Behind Ertz’s career rushing performance, the Wildcats ran away with the game, adding 144 rushing yards in the second half to finish with 336 for the game. Ertz, the Big 12’s leading rusher amongst quarterbacks, finished with a career-high 170 rushing yards and one touchdown on 19 carries in his 12th start of the season. It was Ertz’s third 100-yard rushing performance of the season and the fifth most rushing yards by a quarterback in school history. Ertz was also 9-of-21 for 159 yards and one touchdown through the air. Out of the backfield, Ertz was joined as a 100-yard rusher by running back Justin Silmon, who rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries, a new career-high in rushing yards and touchdowns for the sophomore. With so much success on the ground, K-State relied much less on its passing attack. Only two receivers brought down passes, with Pringle reeling in six for 126 yards and one touchdown – the 83-yarder. With the 100-yard performances from Ertz and Silmon combined with a 126-yard output on the receiving end by Pringle, it marked the first time since the 2003 season opener against California that the Wildcats had two 100-yard rushers and a 100-yard receiver. The Wildcats finished the day with 495 yards of total offense, including 336 on the ground, surpassing the 300-yard rushing mark for the fourth time this season. With the rushing effort, K-State’s season total swelled to 2,795 yards, moving up four spots to fourth place in school history for the most rushing yards in a single season in school history. On the defensive side of the ball, the Big 12’s top defense held the nation’s 18th ranked offense to just 280 total yards. K-State shut out TCU in the second half and became the first team to hold the Horned Frogs without a single touchdown score in a game since 2006. Junior linebacker Elijah Lee and sophomore cornerback D.J. Reed led the charge for K-State’s defensive players with eight tackles each. Junior defensive lineman Will Geary came up with seven stops, including 3.5 tackles for loss. Five other Wildcats tallied five tackles on the day, including junior linebacker Trent Tanking, who came up with K-State’s only takeaway and his first career interception on the game’s final play. Redshirt freshman defensive end Reggie Walker finished with four tackles and two sacks, a career-best for him, while senior defensive end Jordan Willis also registered one sack, giving him 11.5 total sacks in 2016, tying him with Ryan Mueller (2013), Ian Campbell (2006) and Nyle Wiren (1996) for K-State’s single-season sack record.
• K-State’s recorded an 83-yard catch-and-run touchdown from Jesse Ertz to Byron Pringle early in the third quarter... It was the eighth-longest pass play in school history (since 1969) and the longest since 2013.
SCORING SUMMARY
• Quarterback Jesse Ertz (170 yards) and running back Justin Silmon (133 yards) each recorded 100-yard games... It was the Wildcats’ 14th double 100-yard game in school history and the first since Collin Klein (116) and John Hubert (101) teamed up for one against Kansas in 2012... It was also tied for the third most by two rushers in a single game in school history.
STATISTICAL LEADERS
• With the performance by Jesse Ertz and Justin Silmon combined with a 126-yard output on the receiving end by Byron Pringle, it marked the first time since the 2003 season opener against California that the Wildcats had two 100-yard rushers and a 100-yard receiver.

• Head coach Jim Dickey elected to redshirt eight seniors during the 1981 season and the move paid off in 1982 as the Wildcats were selected to play in their first ever bowl game. • The bowl bid wasn’t secured until the final game of the season when K-State pounded Colorado, 33-10, to cap a 6-4-1 season and earn an invitation from bowl representatives in the locker room following the win.
K-STATE FALLS IN 1982 INDEPENDENCE BOWL SHREVEPORT, La. – Wisconsin quarterback Randy Wright tossed two touchdown passes as the Badgers overcame an early Kansas State lead for a hard-earned 14-3 victory over the Wildcats in the seventh annual Independence Bowl. The game, played in cold and wet conditions before an announced crowd of 49,523, marked the first-ever bowl appearance by Kansas State. A 23 mile-perhour wind dropped temperatures to 10 below zero and kept many fans away. After a scoreless first quarter, K-State took the game’s first lead with 7:10 left in the second period when Steve Willis booted a 29-yard field goal after defensive end Bob Daniels recovered a fumble at the Badger 18-yard line. The Wildcats’ lead was short-lived, however. On Wisconsin’s ensuing drive following the field goal, the Badgers marched 79 yards in eight plays, scoring a touchdown on a 16-yard pass from Wright to Michael Jones to give UW a 7-3 halftime lead. Wisconsin struck again midway through the third quarter, when game offensive MVP Wright connected with Tim Stracka on an 87-yard touchdown pass for a 14-3 Badger advantage. K-State drove deep into Wisconsin territory on its next two possessions, but was unable to score. One opportunity ended when a Wildcat pass was intercepted in the Badger end zone, while a second was stymied at the Wisconsin 26-yard line, when K-State could not convert on fourth down. Darrell Ray Dickey completed 13 of 35 passes for 127 yards and one interception on the game for 1982 Big Eight Coach of the Year Jim Dickey’s Wildcat squad. The 35 pass attempts stood as a Kansas State bowl record until 2004, when Ell Roberson’s 51 attempts in the 2004 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl vs. Ohio State.
• The biggest win of the season came against in-state rival KU when the Wildcats won, 36-7, in the program’s first televised night contest... It was the biggest win over the Jayhawks in 27 years. • Darrell Ray Dickey attempted 35 passes in the 1982 Independence Bowl, a mark that still ranks second in K-State bowl history and sixth in a career. • Punter Scott Fulhage, whose son D.J. would later punt for K-State, punted eight times in the game to rank second in Wildcat bowl history.

WILDCATS WIN FIRST-EVER BOWL GAME TUCSON, Ariz. – It’s probable that not even Bill Snyder could have scripted the events of Dec. 29, 1993, any better as K-State put the finishing touches on one of its finest football seasons in school history with a breathtaking 52-17 total domination of Wyoming. Wyoming took a quick 3-0 lead on a 35-yard field goal, but the rest, as they say, is history. K-State put its high-powered offense into overdrive and scored on its first three possessions. J.J. Smith put K-State on the board with a two-yard TD run as the Wildcats drove 68 yards in just six plays to take a 6-3 lead. Tate Wright added a 22-yard field goal, and on its third possession, K-State drove 76 yards in only eight plays to take a 16-3 lead on Chad May’s two-yard TD plunge. With 1:07 left in the first half, Wyoming punted deep in its own territory. All-American Andre Coleman fielded the ball at his own 32, sidestepped two defenders and then raced untouched down the far sideline for a touchdown to put K-State ahead 24-10 at the half. Coleman and company began the second half right where they left off and quickly broke the Cowboys’ spirit with a 61-yard touchdown catch just 54 seconds into the third quarter. Freshman All-American Kevin Lockett then put K-State ahead 38-10 midway through the third quarter with a 30-yard touchdown reception. Reserve running back Leon Edwards later added a 13-yard touchdown run, and cornerback Kenny McEntyre provided the game’s crowning moment with a 37-yard interception return for a touchdown with just over six minutes left in the game. The final numbers were staggering, as the Kansas State offense rolled up 502 yards and averaging 7.5 yards per play. Offensive MVP: Andre Coleman, WR Defensive MVP: Kenny McEntyre, CB

• The bowl game in Hawaii was K-State’s second game away from the continential United States in two years as the Wildcats played Nebraska in Tokyo, Japan, in 1992. • Joe Gordon’s blocked punt is one of only five blocked kicks in Kansas State’s bowl history, but is the only punt to be blocked by the Wildcats... The block kick led to K-State’s lone score of the game when Chris Sublette recovered the ball in the end zone.
BC WINS DEFENSIVE BATTLE IN ALOHA BOWL HONOLULU, Hawaii – Kansas State played Boston College to a defensive standoff much of the afternoon at Aloha Stadium, but the Wildcat offense never got on track and fell 12-7 in the 1994 Aloha Bowl. The Eagles sacked K-State quarterback Chad May eight times, including a four-hit effort by end Mike Mamula, who was named the game’s most valuable player. Couple that with a ground game that gained just 30 yards and K-State netted just 124 altogether in finishing 9-3. The Eagles couldn’t distance themselves from the Wildcats despite a 51-yard bolt by David Green on the game’s second play. That carry led to an early 7-0 cushion for the Eagles but would be the only touchdown of the day. K-State’s lone score came with eight seconds left in the first quarter when Joe Gordon crashed the middle of BC’s line and blocked a punt by Jeff Beckley. Chris Sublette recovered the ball on the first hop in the end zone and the game was tied, 7-7. However, BC would answer with its own end zone patrol later in the half when Mamula applied the biggest of his hits on May for a safety with 2:37 left. The Wildcats reached the BC 19 on their ensuing drive, but Eric Shorter intercepted a dropped pass in the flat on third-and-15 with 19 seconds left in the half. Still, a defense that featured punter Eric Hardy, Gordon and a pair of 10-tackle performances from Chuck Marlowe and Mario Smith kept the Wildcats within striking distance until the end. BC could only tack on a 35-yard field goal by David Gordon with 1:18 remaining in the second half. K-State MVP: Joe Gordon, CB
• The seven points scored by K-State were the fewest in its bowl history until the Wildcats only scored three against Syracuse in the 2001 Insight.com Bowl... Additionally, the 124 yards of total offense are the fewest in K-State bowl history. • Chad May’s 31 pass attempts are tied for the third most in Wildcat bowl history. • May finished his prolific two-year career in the Aloha Bowl, setting numerous school passing records, including single-game passing yardage (489 vs. Nebraska) and second on the school’s career passing yardage chart behind Lynn Dickey (6,208).

• The victory gave Kansas State its first 10-win season since 1910...

KAVANAGH COMES OFF BENCH TO LEAD CATS SAN DIEGO, Calif. – For the second time in three years, Kansas State ran roughshod over the Western Athletic Conference’s best as the Wildcats outran, outplayed and outscored Colorado State for a 54-21 win in front of more than 51,000 fans at the 1995 Plymouth Holiday Bowl at Jack Murphy Stadium. K-State began the scoring on an Eric Hickson 4-yard run with 11:21 left in the first quarter. After CSU responded with a touchdown to knot the score at 7-7, it was all Kansas State. The Wildcats outscored the Rams, 19-0, in the second quarter by virtue of an interception return by safety Mario Smith and a blocked punt. Brian Kavanagh, who would earn the game’s Offensive MVP award, came in for the injured Matt Miller in the second quarter and immediately put the ball in the end zone. Kavanagh completed 18-of-24 passes for 242 yards and a Holiday Bowl-record tying four touchdowns. The junior signal-caller tossed scoring strikes to Brian Lojka, Tyson Schwieger, Kevin Lockett and Mitch Running. Including Miller’s statistics before he was hurt, the Wildcat quarterbacks combined to complete 24 of 32 passes for 324 yards and four touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, Smith earned MVP honors by picking off two passes, registering two passes broken up, making four tackles and generally creating havoc among the Ram receivers. The nation’s top-ranked defense held the potent CSU offense to 301 yards, while forcing four turnovers. Individually, Hickson ran for 103 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries, while catching six passes. Running caught six passes for 126 yards and a TD. Freshman punter James Garcia averaged 45.0 yards on three punts. Offensive MVP: Brian Kavanagh, QB Defensive MVP: Mario Smith, FS
• Kansas State’s 54 points and 536 total yards in the 1995 Holiday Bowl remain the school’s bowl records. • Quarterback Brian Kavanagh came off the bench to replace starter Matt Miller and went on to throw for 242 yards and four touchdowns en route to offensive MVP honors... Kavanagh would later be named to the Holiday Bowl Hall of Fame. • Defensive MVP honors went to free safety Mario Smith, who had four tackles and intercepted two passes... He is tied for the K-State bowl record and tied for sixth overall in K-State history for single-game interceptions... The two picks also tied a Holiday Bowl record.

• Cotton Bowl officials estimated that K-State fans purchased some 40,000-plus tickets, passing the previous record held by Texas Tech in 1995... Tech’s total of 28,232 was surpassed by the Wildcat fans in just a 72-hour period in early December when K-State was tabbed as a participant.
BYU SCORES 14 IN FOURTH FOR COMEBACK WIN DALLAS, Texas – An estimated 45,000 Kansas State fans descended on Dallas to watch the Wildcats in their first-ever New Year’s Day Bowl and were witness to one of the most exciting games of the bowl season. After taking a 15-5 lead following a 72-yard touchdown pass from Brian Kavanagh to Kevin Lockett, the Wildcats saw why BYU quarterback Steve Sarkisian was considered one of the nation’s best. The Cougar QB tossed two fourth-quarter touchdowns to lead No. 5 BYU to a 19-15 Cotton Bowl victory. Following Sarkisian’s 28-yard scoring strike to Kealaluhi with 3:39 remaining in the game, Kavanagh and Lockett led the Wildcats to a first down at the BYU 12-yard line with around one minute remaining. But, Kavanagh’s pass to Jimmy Dean was picked off at the 3-yard line by Omarr Morgan to preserve BYU’s 14th win. The game’s first score came when Cotton Bowl Defensive MVP Shay Muirbrook tackled Kavanagh in the end zone for a safety in the first quarter. After the free kick, BYU scored again on an Ethan Pochman 39-yard field goal. K-State had a hard time getting on track until the final play of the first half. Kavanagh heaved a Hail Mary into the end zone, where, after the ball was deflected by a BYU defender, K-State junior Andre Anderson scooped the ball in for a touchdown. Following the PAT that gave K-State a 7-5 lead, a penalty on BYU forced the teams to return from the locker room so that the Wildcats could try for two points. Mike Lawrence made it pay off by scoring to give KSU an 8-5 lead heading into halftime. K-State scored its second touchdown of the game when Lockett bounced off tacklers following a reception on a short slant pattern and raced 72 yards down the left sideline. Co-Offensive MVP: Kevin Lockett, WR
• K-State continued its streak of scoring in every bowl game, dating back to a first-ever appearance in the 1982 Independence Bowl against Wisconsin. • The 1996 senior class finished with its fourth-consecutive season with at least nine victories and its fourth-straight bowl appearance... The seniors compiled a home record of 21-3-1 and an impressive 37-10-1 overall mark, which included a 2-2 bowl record... No other group had put together such an impressive string of bowl appearances, home record and overall record in the 101 years of K-State football. • K-State fell for the first time when senior quarterback Brian Kavanagh threw at least one touchdown pass, breaking a streak of eight-straight wins. • Kavanagh’s 72-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Lockett was a career best for both players and was also a K-State bowl record... It was the seventh-longest TD pass in Cotton Bowl history.

• The Wildcats held the Boilermakers to only 235 yards of total offense, the second fewest by an opponent in K-State bowl history. • K-State did not score in the first quarter for the first time all season. • The Wildcats suffered consecutive losses for the first time since 1994.
PURDUE DRIVES 80 YARDS FOR LAST-MINUTE WIN SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The unranked Purdue Boilermakers shocked the No. 4 Kansas State Wildcats, 37-34, in the sixth annual Builders Square Alamo Bowl. More than 30,000 purple-clad fans cheered the Wildcats on in one of the most exciting bowl game finishes in school history. After a scoreless first quarter, both offenses finally got untracked, exploding for 71 points over the final three periods. Unfortunately for K-State, it was the Boilermakers who were the first to get things going, taking a 17-7 halftime lead courtesy of a pair of Drew Brees touchdown passes and a 25-yard Travis Dorsch field goal. Fumble recoveries in the end zone by both squads and another Dorsch field goal, this time with just four seconds to go in the third quarter had Purdue sporting a 27-13 lead heading into the final stanza. But the Wildcats put together a furious rally over the final 15 minutes. David Allen, who rushed for 83 yards on 13 carries, scored from three yards out to get things going before Michael Bishop found an open Darnell McDonald for an Alamo Bowl record 88-yard touchdown strike that pulled the Cats within a field goal at 30-27. Then, with just 1:24 left in the game, Bishop connected with tight end Justin Swift for a two-yard touchdown and a 34-30 K-State lead, its first and only of the game. Brees then engineered a six-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 24-yard score to Isaac Jones to put the Boilermakers back on top for good at 37-34 with 30 seconds remaining. Pinned back on its own two-yard line, K-State saw its hopes dashed when Bishop was intercepted to end the game. Sportsmanship Award: Jarrod Cooper, SS
• Kansas State and Purdue combined for seven interceptions, the most ever in a K-State bowl game. • Michael Bishop’s 88-yard touchdown pass to Darnell McDonald in the fourth quarter was an Alamo Bowl record... Bishop’s three touchdown passes are tied for third in K-State bowl history, but his four interceptions are a record. • Darnell McDonald hauled in five receptions for 124 yards and two touchdowns... It was the Wildcats’ fifth 100-yard receiving game in bowl history at the time, while his two touchdowns are tied for the second most. • Frank Murphy set a K-State bowl record with 107 kickoff-return yards, a mark that still ranks first to this day.

CATS MARCH 92 YARDS IN FOURTH FOR GAME WINNER SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Kansas State used a stiff defense and three rushing touchdowns by quarterback Jonathan Beasley to defeat Washington, 24-20, in the 1999 Holiday Bowl. Trailing 20-17 late in the third quarter, the Wildcats embarked on a 20-play, 92-yard drive that took 9 minutes, 54 seconds off the clock to score the eventual game-winning touchdown. The drive was set up after senior Lamar Chapman picked off Marques Tuiasosopo. K-State took a 17-13 lead on its first possession of the second half, scoring on an 11-yard touchdown run by Beasley. The Huskies came back with a 73-yard touchdown drive when Maurice Shaw scored on a five-yard run. That score was the first against K-State in the third quarter during the entire season. Beasley completed 15-of-31 passes for 216 yards to go with three rushing touchdowns to earn Offensive MVP honors, while Darren Howard was named Defensive MVP after totaling nine tackles and three sacks. The first half was a back-and-forth affair that saw the Huskies take a 13-10 lead into the locker room. Washington drew first blood when John Anderson booted a 39 yard field goal just 3:32 into the contests. K-State quickly responded as Beasley drove the Cats 47 yards on the ensuing possession, calling his own number from one yard out to cap the eight-play drive. Anderson hit on his second of two first-half field goal attempts to pull Washington with in a point heading into the second quarter. A Jamie Rheem field goal from 41 yards out pushed K-State’s lead to 10-6, but the Huskies would put the half’s final points on the board on a Pat Conniff three-yard touchdown run midway through the period. Offensive MVP: Jonathan Beasley, QB Defensive MVP: Darren Howard, DE

• K-State made its 10th bowl appearance, while it was the ninthstraight postseason appearance... K-State is one of only seven schools to appear in a bowl game each of the last nine years. • The Insight.com Bowl marked the third time that K-State played a bowl game in Arizona, falling to 2-1.
K-STATE SHUT OUT FINAL THREE QUARTERS IN LOSS PHOENIX, Ariz. – Syracuse running back James Mungro rushed for 112 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Orangemen to a victory over Kansas State in the 2001 Insight.com Bowl played at Bank One Ballpark. Mungro scored on runs of 65, 1 and 1 yard to pace the Syracuse offense. The Orangemen added a late touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 52-yard pass from Robin Anderson to Johnnie Morant. The Syracuse defense did a good job in stopping Kansas State’s running offense, which came into the bowl game ranked fifth in the nation. Despite allowing 46 yards on 10 carries to senior Josh Scobey, the Orangemen held K-State to just 33 net rushing yards. Junior Marc Dunn led the Wildcats with 151 yards passing in relief of starter Ell Roberson. Dunn completed 12 of 25 passes and suffered one interception. Roberson was 2-for-15 for 70 yards for the Wildcats, who were sacked five times by Syracuse. Mungro opened the scoring on his 65-yard run midway through the first quarter. Kansas State responded just two minutes later with a 29-yard field goal by freshman Joe Rheem. The drive was sparked by a 47-yard pass from Roberson to Aaron Lockett and a 27-yard carry by Scobey. Syracuse took advantage of a fumble deep in Wildcat territory early in the second quarter. Mungro scored from the 1-yard line to convert the turnover, but the extra-point was blocked by Josh Buhl. On the next play from scrimmage, Willie Ford got the first of his two interceptions to set up the Orangemen again. Two plays later, Mungro went over from the 1-yard line again, but Buhl also blocked the extra-point. Sportsmanship Award: Terry Pierce, LB
• Kansas State was held to a season-low 33 rushing yards on 34 carries... It marked just the second time in 2001 the Wildcats were held to less than 100 yards (74 vs. Colorado)... It was the second-lowest rushing output by K-State in a bowl game (-61 vs. Boston College in the 1994 Aloha Bowl). • The Wildcats held Syracuse to only eight first downs and 222 yards of total offense... It was the lowest number of first downs allowed by K-State in a bowl game, surpassing the previous mark of 12 against Tennessee in the 2001 Cotton Bowl. • The 222 yards allowed by the Wildcat defense was the sixth time during the 2001 season K-State allowed less than 222 yards of total offense.

• Kansas State improved to 3-0 in the Holiday Bowl and collected its second straight come-from-behind victory in the fourth quarter. • The Cats posted their largest comeback in a bowl game in school history, overcoming a 13-point deficit... The largest the team had trailed and won in a bowl game was three points on five occasions.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Derrick Evans caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Ell Roberson with 1:15 left in the game to lift Kansas State to its first and final lead of the contest, as the Wildcats defeated Arizona State, 34-27, in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. Evans’ catch completed a K-State comeback from deficits of 10-0, 20-7 and 27-20 against the Sun Devils. Roberson, voted the Offensive MVP of the game, rushed for 63 yards, including touchdowns of 32, 3 and 1 yards, and passed for 215 yards by completing 11 of 28 throws. Roberson’s 32-yard score came with just 54 seconds left in the second half and pulled the Wildcats within 20-14. Just 31 seconds earlier, Mike Barth converted on a 39-yard field goal to give ASU its largest lead of the game at 20-7. K-State tied the game at 20-20 early in the fourth quarter when Roberson capped a 16-play, 65-yard drive with a 3-yard score. Arizona State quarterback Andrew Walter, who threw for 293 yards on 28-for-57 passing, found Mike Williams for a 10-yard score to put the Sun Devils back ahead on the next possession. But the Wildcats responded with an 80-yard drive on its next opportunity, setting up Roberson’s 1-yard touchdown dive that tied the game again at 27-27 with 6:41 left. The Wildcat defense forced a Sun Devil punt that Terence Newman returned 27 yards. From there, the Wildcats needed seven plays to cover 59 yards to set up the game-winning touchdown. Arizona State converted two first downs on its final drive, but Rashad Washington batted down Walter’s final pass to preserve the win. Offensive MVP: Ell Roberson, QB

• Despite the loss, Kansas State finished with 11 wins in 2003, marking the sixth time in the previous seven years K-State hit the 11-win mark. • The attendance of 73,245 marked the largest crowd to ever watch a Wildcat bowl game.
COMEBACK FALLS SHORT IN CATS’ FIRST BCS GAME TEMPE, Ariz. – Kansas State started slowly but finished with a fury in the 33rd Annual Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. But it wasn’t enough to overcome a 21-point third-quarter deficit as the Wildcats lost a hard fought 35-28 decision to Ohio State in its first ever BCS bowl game at Sun Devil Stadium. Trailing 35-14 heading into the fourth quarter, Ayo Saba scored from three yards out to cap an eight-play, 46-yard drive and closed the game to 14 points. Ell Roberson’s second rushing touchdown with just 2:47 to go pulled K-State within a touchdown, setting up a frantic finish. After recovering the ensuing on-sides kick, the Wildcats were flagged for being offsides, forcing a re-kick. This time the Buckeyes recovered at the K-State 36-yard line. But the Wildcats held and got the ball back with 1:12 to play at their own 10-yard. A 21-yard completion to Davin Dennis, who finished with a career-high seven receptions for 113 yards, moved the ball to the K-State 26. On the next play Roberson connected with Jermaine Moreira for 26 yards to the Ohio State 48 to get Kansas State within striking distance. However, Roberson’s desperation pass from midfield was batted down at the 2, allowing Ohio State to escape with its second straight Fiesta Bowl victory. Roberson completed 20 passes on a career-high 51 attempts for 294 yards. His 51 attempts were the most ever by a Wildcat in a bowl game, surpassing Darrell Dickey’s 34 in the 1982 Independence Bowl. Josh Buhl tied a K-State bowl game record with 13 total tackles, equaling Laird Veatch’s total from the 1993 Copper Bowl and giving him a K-State single-season record of 184. Sportsmanship Award: Darren Sproles, RB

RUTGERS TOO MUCH IN INAUGURAL TEXAS BOWL HOUSTON, Texas – Kansas State hung with No. 16 Rutgers for 30 minutes, but the Scarlet Knights scored 20 unanswered points in the second half to hand the Wildcats a 37-10 loss in the inaugural Texas Bowl before 52,210 fans at Reliant Stadium. Rutgers was as good as advertised and kept K-State off balance all night long. Ray Rice, the Texas Bowl MVP, rushed for 170 yards and a touchdown and Tim Brown caught two TD passes, for the Scarlet Knights, who claimed their first bowl victory in 137 seasons of intercollegiate football. Brown’s two TD catches came in the opening period and staked Rutgers to a quick 14-0 lead. K-State answered with a 44-yard field goal by Jeff Snodgrass - his 17th of the season - and a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown by Yamon Figurs that was the longest in K-State bowl history to close the gap to 14-10 midway through the second quarter. But Jeremy Ito connected on a 37-yard field goal to close the half and linebacker Quintero Frierson returned an interception 27 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage of the second half to put Rutgers comfortably ahead 24-10. Rice sprinted 46-yards for his lone touchdown of the game on the Scarlet Knights’ next possession before Ito closed out the scoring with a pair of fourth-quarter field goals to provide the final margin. The Scarlet Knights’ seventh-ranked defense proved to be too much and held Kansas State at bay all game long. The Wildcats mustered just 162 yards of total offense for its second fewest yards in a bowl game. Junior wide receiver Jordy Nelson led the Wildcat receivers, hauling in four receptions for 81 yards. On defense, senior linebacker Brandon Archer led all players with nine total tackles to finish his career with 268 stops for the 17th-most in school history.

K-STATE FALLS LATE IN FIRST PINSTRIPE BOWL BRONX, N.Y. – The first Pinstripe Bowl turned into a home run derby. Delone Carter ran for 198 yards and two touchdowns, Marcus Sales caught three long TD passes and Syracuse got some help from a celebration penalty on Kansas State to beat the Wildcats 36-34 at Yankee Stadium. Adrian Hilburn slipped a tackle and raced to a 30-yard touchdown catch with 1:13 remaining to pull Kansas State within two. Hilburn saluted the crowd behind the visitor’s dugout and was flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct, which pushed the 2-point conversion attempt back to the 17-yard line. Carson Coffman overthrew Aubrey Quarles in the end zone, and when K-State couldn’t come up with the onside kick, Syracuse only had to take a knee to win a bowl game for the first time since 2001. Daniel Thomas ran for three touchdowns for Kansas State, which was making its first bowl appearance since 2006. In a bowl season filled with blowouts so far, the first bowl game in New York in 48 years turned out to be a hit. The teams traded big plays right from the start - Thomas went 51 yards for a score on the second play from scrimmage - and scored touchdowns on the first five second-half possessions. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, sensing field goals would not be enough, called for a fake with about five minutes left in the fourth from the 10, but Syracuse stacked up Ryan Doerr on the run. Carter, who scored two second-half touchdowns, broke free for a 60-yard run on the next play. It set up Ross Krautman’s 40-yard field goal with 3:08 left that made it 36-28. Coffman, who played brilliantly in his last college game, led the Wildcats into Syracuse territory and connected with Hilburn near the sideline about 10 yards down field. After winning a footrace to the end zone, he dropped the ball, did a quick salute and turned to celebrate with his teammates. The flags came flying and the 2-point attempt turned into a desperation play.

• Despite the loss, K-State still had a 10-win season for just the ninth time in school history, including the eighth under Bill Snyder... It was the first season with at least 10 wins since 2003. • The announced attendance was 80,956, the largest for a K-State bowl game... Of that announced attendance, approximately 35,000 were K-State fans, which tied for the fourth most for a bowl game in school history. • Collin Klein notched his 15th career start under center, going 16-of-30 through the air for 173 yards and a touchdown... He also rushed 24 times for 42 yards and a score... His rushing touchdown gave him 27 this season, which tied the Big 12 (Texas’ Ricky Williams in 1998) and FBS quarterback (Navy’s Ricky Dobbs in 2009) single-season records... He finished the year with 317 rushing attempts, which were the most in school history... Klein’s rushing yardage total in 2011 (1,141) ranked seventh in school history. • Arthur Brown recorded six tackles, giving him 101 on the year... He was the first Wildcat with a 100-tackle season since Brandon Archer had 106 in 2006. • Raphael Guidry blocked his fifth kick of 2011, which set a new single-season school record... His five blocked kicks are also the school’s career record... His blocked PAT led to K-State’s first defensive extra point in nearly 10 years.
CATS COME UP SHORT IN COTTON BOWL LOSS ARLINGTON, Texas – Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein tied the Big 12 single-season for rushing touchdowns and the NCAA single season record by a quarterback but the No. 8 Wildcats came up short in the 2012 AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic in a 29-16 loss to No. 6 Arkansas. Kansas State (10-3) was trying to match its school record with 11 victories, but still finished a surprising season in Bill Snyder’s second Wildcat turnaround. K-State won 11 games six times during a seven-year span in Snyder’s first tenure before his three-year retirement, and almost reached that mark again in his third season back. After being held to 15 yards on 12 carries in the first half, Klein finished the opening drive of the third quarter with a 6-yard TD run that got the Wildcats to 19-16. That came after Klein had a 15-yard run on the previous play. That matched the Big 12 record for rushing touchdowns held by 1998 Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams of Texas. The only other FBS quarterback with 27 rushing touchdowns in a season was Ricky Dobbs for Navy in 2009. Klein finished with 42 yards on 24 carries, while completing 16 of 30 passes for 173 yards. Arkansas’ Tyler Wilson was 20 of 31 for 216 yards. Jarius Wright had three catches for 88 yards and a 45-yard touchdown. The Cotton Bowl was the only non-BCS game with both teams in the top 10 of the Bowl Championship Series standings -- Arkansas came in sixth, Kansas State eighth. It also is the only bowl featuring the SEC vs. the Big 12, the top two conferences in the BCS computer rankings. The Razorbacks didn’t even get a first down until 12 1/2 minutes left in the first half when Dennis Johnson opened a drive with a 28-yard run. That drive ended with the second of Zach Hocker’s three field goals, a 22-yarder. K-State blocked the extra point and Nigel Malone returned it for two points. It was 19-9 at halftime after Klein threw a 3-yard TD pass to Andrew McDonald with 26 seconds left in the first half. That score was set up after Wilson was sacked by Adam Davis and fumbled at the Hogs’ 13.

OREGON WINS BATTLE OF TOP-10 TEAMS GLENDALE, Ariz. – De’Anthony Thomas caught the opening kickoff, raced past Oregon’s sideline and leaned his head into the end zone like a sprinter crossing the finish line. The track meet had started and the fifth-ranked Ducks didn’t look back after that. Triggered by the return, Oregon bolted by No. 7 Kansas State, 35-17. Teams that had that national title aspirations end on the same day, Oregon and Kansas State ended up in the desert for a marquee matchup billed as a battle of styles: The fast-flying Ducks vs. the execution-is-everything Wildcats. Thomas followed his kickoff return with a 23-yard touchdown catch, finishing with 195 total yards. Kenjon Barner ran for 143 yards on 31 carries and scored on a 24-yard touchdown pass from Marcus Mariota in the second quarter. Mariota later scored on a 2-yard run in the third quarter, capped by an obscure 1-point safety that went in the Ducks’ favor. Even Oregon’s defense got into the act, intercepting Collin Klein twice and holding him to 30 yards on 13 carries. Thomas hit the Wildcats (11-2) again late in the first quarter, breaking a couple of tackles and dragging three defenders into the end zone for a catch-and-run TD that put the Ducks up 15-0. Oregon followed a missed 40-yard field goal with a scoring drive late in the second quarter. Moving 77 yards in 46 seconds, the Ducks went up 22-10 at halftime after Mariota hit Barner on 24-yard TD pass. Alejandro Maldonado hit a 33-yard field goal on Oregon’s opening drive of the third quarter and Mariota capped a long drive with a 2-yard TD run. Kansas State’s Javonta Boyd blocked the point-after attempt, but even that went wrong for the Wildcats: Chris Harper was tackled in the end zone for a bizarre 1-point safety that put Oregon up 32-10. Kansas State needed a little time to get its wheels spinning on offense, laboring early before Klein scored on a 6-yard run early in the second quarter. Klein kept the Wildcats moving in the quarter, though not toward touchdowns: Cantele hit a 25-yard field goal. Klein hit John Hubert on a 10-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter, but all that did was cut Oregon’s lead down to 32-17. Sportsmanship Award: Collin Klein, QB

• K-State claimed its first bowl win since the 2002 Holiday Bowl, snapping an 11-year drought... Of 630 FBS teams in the BCS era to start the season 2-4 or worse, the Wildcats are just the eighth with eight wins. • The Cats held UM to 14 points, the fewest allowed by K-State in a bowl game since Boston College scored 12 in the 1994 Aloha Bowl. • Jake Waters threw for 271 yards and three scores on 21-of-27 aim... His 21 completions broke a K-State bowl record, while his 271 yards ranked fourth and his passing touchdowns tied for third.
WILDCATS EARN FIRST BOWL WIN SINCE 2002 TEMPE, Ariz. – Jake Waters threw for 271 yards and connected with Tyler Lockett on three touchdowns, leading Kansas State to its first bowl victory in 11 years, 31-14 over Michigan in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. Kansas State (8-5) scored on its first three possessions, all touchdown passes from Waters to Lockett, and its defense dominated Michigan to end a five-game bowl losing streak. Lockett set a school bowl record with 10 catches for 116 yards and Waters completed 21 of 27 passes, sending the Wildcats to their first bowl victory since the 2002 Holiday Bowl. Michigan freshman Shane Morris was steady in place of injured starter Devin Gardner, leading Michigan (7-6) on two early scoring drives. The Wolverines settled for field goals on both and did little the rest of the way, finishing with 261 total yards. Morris threw for 196 yards on 24-of-38 passing with an interception before leading Michigan on a late scoring drive with the game out of reach. Michigan’s defense also had trouble stopping Kansas State most of the night, giving up 420 total yards. Kansas State finished the season strong after some early difficulties but won five of its final six games while scoring at least 31 points in each contest. K-State set the tone on its opening drive, grinding out 75 yards in 15 plays and 7:51 off the clock. Lockett capped it with a 6-yard touchdown catch after the Wildcats’ line gave Waters just enough time to get the throw off against Michigan’s blitz. Lockett set up the next drive with a 40-yard kickoff return and capped with a 29-yard touchdown catch. Kansas State raced down the field again on its next drive, setting up Lockett’s third touchdown, an 8-yarder from Waters that put the Wildcats up 21-6 at halftime. Kansas State’s Ian Patterson hit a 22-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, John Hubert scored on a 1-yard run after Morris’ interception and the Wildcats celebrated Bill Snyder’s seventh bowl victory by chasing the 74-year-old coach down the sideline for a water-bucket dump.

ARKANSAS RUNS PAST CATS IN LIBERTY BOWL MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Alex Collins ran for 185 yards and three touchdowns and Arkansas capped its late-season surge with a 45-23 victory over K-State in the Liberty Bowl. Ranked 18th to open the season, Arkansas stumbled through a 1-3 start that knocked the Razorbacks out of the top 25. The Razorbacks (8-5) turned things around won six of their last seven games. Collins overwhelmed Kansas State’s defense in front of a sellout crowd of 61,136, the fourth-largest crowd in the game’s 57-year history. Kansas State (6-7) finished a season below .500 for the first time since Bill Snyder began his second stint as coach in 2009. Arkansas’ Brandon Allen was 20-of-26 for 315 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Kansas State’s Kody Cook, starting at quarterback for the first time, went 12-of-24 for 163 yards with a touchdown. Snyder added some intrigue to this game by making a quarterback switch. Cook had been Kansas State’s second-leading receiver during the regular season while also backing up quarterback Joe Hubener. Cook took the first snaps for Kansas State and remained the quarterback until the game was out of reach. He played well enough to keep Kansas State relatively close. But he couldn’t do anything about the defense’s inability to slow down Collins, who was largely responsible for helping Arkansas reach the end zone on three straight first-half drives. Collins had touchdown runs of 22 yards and 13 yards in the first 17 minutes. He also had a 68-yard burst on his first kickoff return of the season, which set up Jared Cornelius’ 13-yard touchdown on an end around. Kansas State trailed 31-23 late in the third quarter and appeared ready to make a stop when Arkansas knocked out the Wildcats with a one-two punch. Facing third-and-13, Allen found All-America tight end Hunter Henry down the left sideline for a 43-yard completion. On the next play, Collins spun away from a couple of defenders, eluded the grasp of a third and dragged a couple more into the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown to essentially put the game out of reach.
