2009 SPRING FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS

Preview

THE TRADITION CONTINUES ecause the Hall of Fame can wait. Because family is what matters

Bmost. Because hometown heroes become legends. Because Wildcat

Victory is more than a song. The tradition that head coach Bill Snyder established between 19892005 at Kansas State will continue beginning in 2009 as the architect of the greatest turnaround in college football history has come out of retirement and will once again stroll the sidelines of the stadium that now bears his own name. Snyder, with his return, gives the Wildcats instant credibility with his 136 career wins, 11 bowl games, four Big 12 North Division Titles and 2003 Big 12 Championship. Snyder and the staff that he has assembled, which includes three former head coaches, 77 combined bowl appearances, 205 years of combined coaching experience and a bevy of coaches with Kansas State ties, will begin spring practice on April 6, while the public will get its first look at the 2009 squad on May 2 in the annual spring game. After two consecutive seasons without a bowl game, Snyder will look to build on the 5-7 record posted by last year’s squad that finished fourth in the Big 12 North. With an ample of returning lettermen, including numerous key starters back on campus from last year’s team, Snyder will have plenty of experience with which to work as the new coaching staff looks to return the program to a winning mindset. Even with the returning experience, the depth chart appears to be wide open entering spring ball as players will be expected to step up and earn their starting roles. The new staff will spend most of spring practices implementing new systems and teaching fundamentals on both sides of the ball.

OFFENSE Snyder has always been one of the nation’s most innovated offensive coaches and K-State will benefit in 2009 from not only his expertise but also the offensive minds of two former head coaches in running game coordinator Dana Dimel and passing game coordinator Del Miller. Snyder and company have always designed and utilized an offensive plan that best fits the team’s personnel and 2009 should be the same. One thing has always stayed the course for K-State teams under Snyder: the Wildcats will run an offensive system that puts the team in the best position to score points and win.

With seven returning starters on an offense that averaged 402 yards of total offense a game in 2008, including several returners along the offensive line, there is plenty of experience and firepower at key positions as the Wildcats enter spring practice. The squad will see a new quarterback emerge as the starter in 2009 and will look for some guys to step up and add depth to the running back and wide receiver spots. QUARTERBACK One of the biggest voids needed to be filled by the Wildcats this spring will be at the quarterback position after the departure of three-year starter Josh Freeman. Freeman, who decided to forego his senior season of eligibility in order to enter the NFL Draft, was the offensive leader of the Wildcats for the last three seasons. Last season, Freeman became Kansas State’s most prolific passer as the Grandview, Mo., native set new school career marks for pass completions (680), attempts (1,151), yards (8,078), touchdowns (44) and total offense (8,421). The Wildcats enter spring practices with numerous candidates vying for the starting job at quarterback. The early favorite with the most game experience would appear to be junior Carson Coffman. Coffman, who saw action in six of the Wildcats’ games last season, completed 61-percent of his passes for a total of 282 yards and a touchdown. Coffman will battle with current redshirt freshmen Collin Klein and Joseph Kassanavoid as well as junior college transfer Daniel Thomas upon his arrival. Thomas originally signed with K-State for the 2008 season and now appears ready to challenge for the starting spot. Thomas is considered to be a dual-threat quarterback, something that Snyder has been known to utilize in the past. As a sophomore at Northwest Mississippi Junior College, he rushed for 562 yards and six touchdowns while completing 24-of-51 passes for 450 yards and two touchdowns. Klein is big and athletic at 6-5 and 211 and is a true field general, while Kassanavoid’s size (6-4, 226) and strong right arm are his biggest assets. Both have reaped the benefits of developing both physically and mentally after a year in the program. Sophomore Trey Scott is also expected to be in the mix, along with redshirt freshman Milton McPeek.

2009 SPRING FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS

RUNNING BACK With all three of last year’s starting running backs returning from last season, and the addition of a few electrifying playmakers in the 2009 recruiting class, the depth at running back runs deep, and the race for the starting role should be heavily contested. Lamark Brown, after making the transition from wide receiver last year, became a six-game starter for the Wildcats and led the team with 412 yards and five touchdowns. He will look to be one of the top playmakers for the Wildcats in 2009, whether it be at the running back position or back at wide receiver. Sophomore Logan Dold will also enter spring practices looking to earn more carries in the Wildcat backfield. Last season Dold started three games and tallied 333 yards on the ground with three touchdowns. Senior Keithen Valentine also saw significant playing time last season after starting three games and totaling 129 yards and one touchdown. Jarell Childs, Frank Delarue and Dee Bell give the Cats some added depth. K-State added several talented new recruits to the backfield in incoming freshmen John Hubert, Tramaine Thompson and Timothy Flanders, and come the fall, the trio will make for even more competition at the position. WIDE RECEIVER The wide receiver position will continue to be a bright spot for the Wildcats this season, as a trio of seniors will lead the team at the position. Senior Brandon Banks, who emerged as one of the speediest receivers in the nation last year, will team with seniors Attrail Snipes and Aubrey Quarles to give the Wildcats a solid nucleus of wideouts. Banks, who was selected as the Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year last season, led the Wildcats in receptions (67), receiving yards (1,049), and receiving touchdowns (9). Banks also ranked fifth in the Big 12 in receiving yards per game as well as ranking fifth in all-purpose yards per game. Quarles finished last season with a respectable 34 receptions for a total of 407 yards and one touchdown and will look for an even more productive senior season in 2009. Brown gives K-State a big and athletic weapon at the wideout spot as the junior has caught 27 passes over the past two seasons at both the running back and wide receiver positions. Junior Adrian Hilburn will also look to provide some depth and athleticism at the position after returning from an injury in 2008. TIGHT ENDS Jeron Mastrud returns for his senior season and will anchor the tight end position for Kansas State in 2009, but the Cats will also use spring practices to add some depth at the position. Mastrud, who was second on the team in receptions last season with 37 for a total of 435 yards and two touchdowns, has been a consistent performer and will look to contend for postseason honors in 2009. Junior Gabe Gantz, sophomore Jayson Cuba and freshmen Braden Wilson, Travis Tannahill and Jay Hanley could also push for playing time. Wilson and Hanley could also see time at the fullback position.

BRANDON BANKS 8 KANSAS STATE FOOTBALL

LAMARK BROWN

OFFENSIVE LINE Though Kansas State lost three regular starters from last year’s squad, which ranked fourth in the Big 12 in sacks allowed, the Wildcats do return four players along the offensive line that started no fewer than three games a year ago and welcome the addition of several key players who redshirted in 2008. Tackle Nick Stringer, an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection last season, will look to have a breakout senior season after starting all 12 games in 2008 and enters the year with 23 career starts under his belt. The Wildcats also return an eight-game starter at guard in senior Brock Unruh, a five-game starter in guard/center Zach Kendall and three-game starters at guard in Colten Freeze and Eric Benoit. Stringer and Unruh give new line coach Charlie Dickey solid options at the tackle position, while redshirt sophomore Zach Hanson and sophomore Clyde Aufner will also push for playing time. Redshirt junior Trevor Viers has seen significant playing time in the past, and is expected to challenge Kendall for a starting spot at center this season, while Wade Weibert, Kenneth Mayfield, Ethan Douglas, Freeze and Benoit give Dickey and company solid options at the guard spot.

DEFENSE Kansas State’s defense will get an instant boost in 2009 under new co-defensive coordinators Vic Koenning and Chris Cosh, as the duo will be charged with improving a defense that ranked in the bottom half of the Big 12 last season. Koenning and Cosh will not have to start completely from scratch, though, as K-State returns eight starters from last year’s squad that fought through an up-and-down season in 2008 but could be poised for a turnaround with continued improvement. DEFENSIVE LINE The overall productivity of any defense usually begins and ends up front in the trenches and Kansas State will certainly be looking to develop more consistency from this unit throughout spring practices. The Wildcats will look to fill the large void left by graduating senior Ian Campbell at the defensive end position. Campbell, a three-time All-Big 12 selection, recorded 47 tackles this past season, including eight for loss, which was second on the team. He also tallied a team-best 4.5 sacks and blocked a school-record three field goal attempts. Even while losing a talent such as Campbell, the Wildcats do return three starters up front, including both tackles. And with that game experience comes plenty of potential for improvement. One of the brightest stars on last year’s entire defensive unit was sophomore-to-be Brandon Harold. Harold, who saw time at both defensive end and defensive tackle in 2008, was honored at the end of last season with his selection as a first team freshman All-American by College Football News and Sporting News and was one of two Wildcat true freshmen to start this past season. The defensive end totaled 45 tackles, 10.5 for loss, with 3.0 sacks en route to honorable mention all-conference honors in 2008, and K-State will certainly have a big impact player up front in Harold to build its defense.

ERIC CHILDS

Another returning starter up front is senior defensive end Eric Childs, who started 11 games while seeing action in all 12 games on the Wildcats’ 2008 schedule. Childs, who tallied 52 tackles, 6.5 for loss, with 2.5 sacks last season, will be looked upon to provide senior leadership for this defensive unit. Also of note, senior Jeffrey Fitzgerald will look to have an immediate impact along the defensive front as the 6-4, 280-pounder sat out last season after transferring from the University of Virginia. Payton Kirk and Raphael Guidry will also give the Wildcats some depth, as each is heading into his redshirt sophomore season, as will newcomer Grant Valentine, a junior college transfer. At the tackle position, K-State will look towards senior Daniel Calvin as well as juniors Xzavier Stewart and Gabriel Crews and senior Chidubamu Abana to provide depth along front for the Wildcats. Calvin has the most experience of the group, as he started five games at tackle last season. Stewart and Crews will most likely battle it out for playing time while Fitzgerald and Harold could also fill in at the tackle spot. LINEBACKER K-State returns two regular starters at linebacker from last season in Ulla Pomele and Alex Hrebec and three others with at least one career start under their belts to give the Cats some experience on which to build. Hrebec came on strong towards the end of his freshman campaign and ranked second on the team in tackles in 2008. Hrebec, a walk-on last season, totaled 68 tackles on the season with one interception, a forced fumble and 2.5 sacks on his way to being named to the honorable mention All-Freshman team by College Football News. The Wildcats will look to Hrebec for continued improvement and leadership throughout spring drills as he looks to solidify his starting role at the position. Pomele will also look to make strides heading into his senior season after starting six games as a junior in 2008. Pomele, who ranked fourth on the team in tackles last season, tallied 58 tackles, 7.5 for loss, with one sack and two forced fumbles. Seniors John Houlik and Hansen Sekona give the Wildcats and linebacker coach/co-defensive coordinator Chris Cosh two very experienced and talented options at the linebacker positions. Houlik played in only eight games last year, tallying 29 tackles as well as a forced fumble, but the senior does possess the most experience of the group with 29 career games played. Sekona saw playing time in all 12 games last season as the junior tallied 23 tackles, 3.5 for loss, as well as a fumble recovery during his junior campaign. Providing the Wildcats some depth at the position are Dahrnaz Tigner, a tall and athletic linebacker that could also play safety, Kevin Rohleder, Antonio Felder, who also saw some time as a rush defensive end in 2008, Josh Berard, a junior college transfer in 2008 who sat out last season after suffering an injury, Jack Reed, Brian Hertzog and newcomers Blake Slaughter and Kadero Terrell.

JOSHUA MOORE

SECONDARY With three starters returning to a secondary that ranked near the middle of the Big 12 last season in pass defense, along with seven new recruits at the defensive back position, the Wildcat secondary should be a point of emphasis this spring and during fall camp. Junior cornerback Joshua Moore is coming of a breakout season for the Wildcats which saw him earn honorable mention All-Sophomore honors by College Football News as well as an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection by the Associated Press and an All-Big 12 Second Team selection by the Kansas City Star. Moore led K-State in tackles during his sophomore campaign recording 76 tackles, five for loss, as well as accumulating three interceptions and one fumble recovery. Reliable safeties Chris Carney, Courtney Herndon and Tysyn Hartman also return to give co-defensive coordinator/secondary coach Vic Koenning some experience. Herndon, a senior, started 10 games at the strong safety position last season where he accumulated 61 tackles, 4.5 for loss, along with 1.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries. Hartman, a sophomore, held down the free safety position for the final eight games of the season of his freshman campaign, tallying 49 total tackles. Carney started the first four games of the season at free safety and finished the year with 53 tackles and five pass breakups. All three players will look to provide experience to a secondary looking for continued improvement during spring practices. Opposite Moore, the cornerback position race looks to be wide open, with several players making a push for increased playing time next season. Returning seniors Blair Irvin, Otis Johnson and Billy McClellan saw extensive playing time last season and will look to make a push back into a starting role. Seven secondary prospects signed during the spring will provide the returners competition come fall training camp. SPECIALISTS Kansas State will look to fill a few holes on special teams this season with the departure of All-Big 12 place-kicker Brooks Rossman, but Kansas State should have no issues in maintaining its national dominance in the area of special teams. Three very capable candidates will compete for the Wildcats’ placekicking duties this offseason. Junior Josh Cherry has the most experience of the candidates, but freshman Ryan Doerr and redshirt freshman Brandon Klimek will both look to challenge for the starting job. Junior punter D.J. Fulhage returns after finishing last season with an average punt of 38.1 yards, which ranked him seventh in the Big 12. Doerr, a transfer from South Carolina, could also figure into the punting role. Junior Corey Adams returns as K-State’s long-snapper after establishing himself as one of the nation’s best at the position. In the return game, K-State will return one of the most electrifying kickreturners in the conference last season in senior wide receiver Brandon Banks. Last season Banks averaged 27.7 yards per kick return which ranked him second in the Big 12 in the category. Also look for Banks to take over the punt returning duties as the lightning fast receiver can surely provide a spark for the Wildcats in that position as well.

2009 SPRING FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS

Head Coach

Bill Snyder

Three-Time National Coach of the Year ill Snyder, the architect of the “greatest

Bturnaround in the history of college foot-

ball” will begin his second tour of duty as the leader of the Wildcat Football family in 2009. Snyder retired in November of 2005 after 17 ultra-successful seasons as the head coach at Kansas State and now returns to the sideline again to lead the Wildcat program. Named the 32nd head football coach at Kansas State on Nov. 30, 1988, Snyder amassed a 136-68-1 (.666) record during his first tenure with the Wildcats, including a 7553-1 (.585) mark in Big 8/12 games. His 136 victories are the 17th most among active FBS coaches and are more than triple the man in second place on K-State’s all-time coaching victories list (Mike Ahearn, 39 wins). But to fully understand the turnaround ushered in by Snyder at Kansas State one must only consider that the Wildcats were in the midst of an 0-26-1 run when he was hired. It also took K-State 51 seasons (1938-1988) to total just 130 wins, while the 12 head coaches prior to Snyder's arrival in Manhattan combined to win just 116 games from 1945-1988. Snyder led Kansas State to 11 straight bowl berths between the 1993 and 2003 seasons, making K-State one of only seven programs in the nation to appear in the postseason every year during that stretch. During that span, Snyder’s Wildcats won nearly 80 percent of their 10 KANSAS STATE FOOTBALL

games, chalking up 109 victories - a staggering average of nearly 10 wins per season - and making Kansas State the nation’s second-winningest program over that period. And Snyder continued to break new ground with the Wildcats. Kansas State’s 35-7 victory over top-ranked Oklahoma in the 2003 Big 12 Championship game lifted K-State to its first conference championship since Pappy Waldorf’s 1934 squad and secured the school’s first BCS bowl berth in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. With an 11-4 record in 2003, Kansas State was the only team in the country to win 11 games in six of the previous seven years and just the second program in the history of college football to win 11 games six times in a seven-year stretch. Snyder’s unprecedented success in 17 years at Kansas State did not go unnoticed. He was named the National Coach of the Year on three occasions (1991, 1994 and 1998). He has been a finalist for the prestigious Bear Bryant/FWAA National Coach of the Year Award in 1993 and 1995 before winning in 1998; a finalist for the Football News National Coach of the Year Award in 1995 and 1998; and a finalist for the Kodak/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

2009 SPRING FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS

Press Big Eight Coach of the Year three times in a four-year period (1990, 1991 and 1993). The Houston Chronicle named him the 1996 Big 12 Coach of the Year, while he earned 1997 and 1998 Big 12 Coach of the Year honors from the Kansas City Star. Snyder also was the 1998 Big 12 Coach of the Year by the AP and by a vote of league coaches before earning the league coaches’ support again in 2002. The 2003 season brought more honors, including Big 12 Coach of the Year accolades from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and ESPN.com. Since the inception of the Big 12 Conference, Snyder’s Wildcats truly became a dominant force in the league, ranking in the top three in overall Big 12 wins during his tenure. Kansas State also won more Big 12 road games than any team in the league and advanced to the conference championship game three times. Those facts alone demonstrate the continuing evolution of a power in the Big 12 Conference and with it the recognition that Snyder is truly one of the finest coaches in college football today. The list of accomplishments Snyder has amassed in his 17-plus 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 Kansas State, which ended the regular season with seven straight wins, a fourth Big 12 North Division title, its first Big 12 Conference championship and yet another top-20 finish. But the 2003 season was not without its bumps in the road as the Wildcats overcame their share of adversity to produce perhaps the greatest season in school history. Ranked as high as No. 6 nationally in the early going, a key injury to quarterback Ell Roberson precipitated a three-game slide that threatened to wipe out a promising season. The three losses all but erased K-State from the national consciousness, as the Wildcats slipped out of the both polls for the first time since the second game of the 2002 season. But Snyder was not about to allow the year to spiral out of control. He constantly reminded his players that they still controlled their own destiny, and if they could just go 1-0 each week the season would take care of itself and the team would ultimately achieve its goals. And like everything Snyder seems to touch, this strategy too worked, as the Wildcats rode their 1-0 mantra week after week all the way to a berth in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Along the way, five different Wildcats were lauded for their efforts with All-America honors, including K-State’s first Associated Press first team All-American running back, Darren Sproles, who finished fifth in voting for the Heisman Trophy, was the Doak Walker Award runner-up and finished third on the AP’s Player of the Year ballot. But Sproles was the lone player with star power that returned for the 2004 campaign. And though the little tank produced yet another record-breaking season capped by his thirdstraight selection to an All-Big 12 team, the lack of experience was one reason K-State struggled through a 4-7 rebuilding campaign.

The 2002 season was one of the best in Kansas State history, witnessed by the Wildcats’ five-victory turnaround from the previous year’s 6-6 team to a win in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl and an 11-2 overall record. In addition, the 2002 Wildcats set or tied 45 school records, including tying the mark for wins in a season. Snyder’s Wildcats finished the season with six consecutive victories, including the biggest wins in the history of the series in each of a three-week span against Kansas, Iowa State and Nebraska. The Wildcats’ dominant play down the stretch of the 2002 season earned Snyder the recognition of his peers as the Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year. In 2001, Snyder directed one of the best inseason turnarounds in school history. Despite losing four straight in the middle of the year and facing the fourth-toughest schedule in the nation, the Wildcats recovered to win four of their last five games to end the regular season with a 6-5 record and a berth in the Insight.com Bowl. Despite the record, the quality of players produced by the Snyder-led coaching staff continued to attract national attention from those who best know the game. Six Kansas 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.

Coaches

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 5 that saw K-State climb as high as No. 2 in the nation. 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 league’s coaches, and PK Jamie Rheem, DT Mario Fatafehi and WR Quincy Morgan earned AllAmerica honors. The 1999 season saw the Wildcats climb from No. 20 in the preseason poll to finish at No. 6, after starting the season with nine straight victories, and win 11 games for the third straight year. K-State tied Nebraska for the Wildcats’ second consecutive Big 12 North Division Championship. All this came in what many thought would be a rebuilding season. KState led the conference in first team all-conference picks with seven. In 1998, Snyder led K-State to its second straight 11-win season and a No. 4 ranking in the final regular season polls. In November, KState occupied a No. 1 ranking in a national poll for the first time in school history. The Wildcats won the Big 12 Conference North Division 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 schoolrecord 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 K-Staters earned AllAmerica 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 Division to undefeated and national champion Nebraska. The Wildcats defeated South Division champion Texas A&M, 36-17. The season ended with a 35-18 win over Big East Conference champion Syracuse in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, with an estimated 50,000 K-State fans attending KState’s first-ever Alliance Bowl. The 1996 season saw K-State finish with a 9-3 record, while more than 45,000 Wildcat fans painted Dallas purple for the Southwestern Bell Cotton Bowl, Kansas 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 place behind national champion Nebraska. Following a 54-21 blitzing of WAC champion Colorado State in the 1995 Holiday Bowl, the Wildcats finished the season ranked sixth in the USA Today/CNN coaches poll and seventh in the Associated Press poll. Both rankings were the highest ever attained by a Kansas State football team to that point. In 1995, the Wildcats finished tied for second in the Big Eight and their 5-2 league mark gave K-State two consecutive 5-2 Big Eight seasons. In the last three years of the Big Eight, the Wildcats defeated or tied every team in the league except Nebraska. Since the inception of the Big 12 in 1996, K-State is 53-27 in league games under Snyder (10 seasons). In 1993, Snyder guided K-State to its first bowl win in school history and, in 1994, the Wildcats cracked the Top 10 for the first time in school history. In 1998, the K-State achieved a No. 1 national ranking in one of the major polls for the first time in the program’s history. Individually, Snyder produced 45 different All-Americans during his 17 years as head coach, including nine consensus first-team AllAmericans: in 1992 (P Sean Snyder), 1993 (FS Jaime Mendez), 1995 (CB Chris Canty), 1996 (Canty), 1997 (PK Martin Gramatica), 1998 (PR David Allen), 1999 (LB Mark Simoneau) and 2002 (CB Terence Newman). Newman became the third Wildcat to win a national award when he was voted the 2002 Thorpe Award, given to the top collegiate defensive back. Gramatica was the 1997 Lou Groza Award winner, the first major award winner in Kansas State history. Quarterback Michael Bishop became the first K-State player to be named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy (finishing as runner-up) while winning the Davey O’Brien Award. 12 KANSAS STATE FOOTBALL

2009 SPRING FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS

The foundation for K-State’s turnaround was laid in 1989 during Snyder’s first season in Manhattan. Although the season yielded just a 1-10 record, it became evident to everyone involved in the program that something special was happening. Most important, Snyder instilled a winning attitude and a healthy dose of self-respect and enthusiasm to a program that had been given up for dead. In 1990, Kansas 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 Wildcats were still able to hang their hats on their first perfect home season (5-0) 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 bowl appearances. Snyder was the mind behind Iowa’s potent offensive attack. The Hawkeye offense ranked first in passing efficiency and third in passing yardage nationally in Snyder’s last five years of direction. In his final Iowa season, the Peach Bowl team led the Big Ten, and ranked seventh nationally, with 277 passing yards per game. That team was second in the Big Ten with 416 yards of offense per game. Snyder also served as quarterback coach at Iowa and helped develop some of the best quarterbacks in NCAA history, including NFL players Chuck Long (second in Heisman voting with over 10,000 passing yards in Iowa career), 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 graduate assistant at USC under John McKay before returning to become head coach at Indio High School 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 on the football staff and head swimming coach at Austin College in Sherman, Texas. He joined the University of North Texas staff in 1976 and helped author an impressive turnaround with a three-year record of 26-7. He left UNT for Iowa in 1979. Over the last three years, Snyder remained involved with the university as the special assistant to the athletics director and is currently a member of the Missouri and Kansas Halls of Fame, the Kansas State Athletics and Austin College Sports Halls of Fame while also being inducted into the Holiday Bowl Hall of Fame. The long-time mentor is also still active in the community as he currently is the Chairman of the Kansas Mentors Council and the Kansas Leadership Council, a member of the Board of Directors for Kansas Leadership Center, the Board of Trustees for the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, the KSU Leadership Studies Advancement Council, the Terry C. Johnson Cancer Research Center Advisory Council, the Manhattan Community Foundation Board of Trustees, the KSU Foundation Board of Trustees and is the Honorary Co-Chairman of the Kansas Masonic Partnership for Life. Snyder, 69, 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.

GAME NOTES The Kansas State Athletics Department welcomed four new members to the KState Football Ring of Honor, David Allen, Martin Gramatica, Terence Newman and Mark Simoneau. The total number of the fraternity now stands at 10. The Wildcats tallied their highest home-opening point total under head coach Ron Prince with the 45 points. The previous high was 34 against San Jose State on Sept. 8, 2007. It was also the largest home victory for K-State since the Wildcats defeated Missouri State 6110 on Sept. 15, 2007. Junior Keithen Valentine and freshman Logan Dold each made their debuts in a Wildcat uniform. Valentine made his K-State debut a successful one, as he took his first carry four yards for a Wildcat touchdown on the first offensive play of the season. Dold debuted in the backfield during the first quarter, becoming the first true freshman running back to appear in a seasonopener in school history and the second to appear during his true rookie season. Seven Wildcats made their first career starts, four on offense and three on defense. Getting the nod in the starting lineup on offense were receiver Ernie Pierce, running back Keithen Valentine and offensive lineman Edward Prince. Defensively, tackle Brandon Balkcom, linebacker Olu Hall and defensive back Blair Irvin collected their first-career starts.

GAME 1 MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Josh Freeman threw two of his three touchdown passes to Brandon Banks and ran for two more scores, helping Kansas State beat North Texas 45-6. Kansas State overpowered North Texas on both sides of the ball, scoring on six of its first seven possessions to take a 42-0 lead, holding the Mean Green to 205 total yards—81 in the first half. Freeman was quietly efficient to open his third season as Kansas State’s starter, connecting with Banks on a 30-yard touchdown in the second quarter, then on a 43-yarder to put the Wildcats up 35-0 less than a minute into the second half. Freeman also hit Lamark Brown on 6-yard touchdown pass late in the second quarter, finishing 18-for-24 for 232 yards to pass Chad May and Carl Straw for second on Kansas State’s all-time passing list (5,365). He scored on a 1-yard run in the first quarter and on an 8-yarder midway through the third. The Wildcats overwhelmed North Texas on offense as well, scoring less than two minutes into the game on a 4-yard run by walk-on Keithen Valentine on the way to a 28-0 halftime lead.

GAME 2 MANHATTAN, Kan.. (AP) — Josh Freeman ran for two scores and threw for two more and Kansas State returned two blocked punts for touchdowns for the first time in school history in a 69-10 rout of Montana State. On their final possession, the Wildcats merely pounded the ball up the middle with second- and third-teamers. They had a fourth-and-8 on the Montana State 17 but ran up the middle rather than kicking a field goal. Kansas State also scored on a fumble recovery while ringing up their most points since a school-record 76-0 pounding of Ball State in 2000. Freeman, a week after accounting for five touchdowns in a 45-6 victory over North Texas, hit 16 of 21 passes for 288 yards, including two 36yard touchdown strikes, before being lifted midway through the third quarter. According to the Montana State media guide, the 69 points tied for the most points allowed by the Bobcats since 1950. They also gave up 69 to Florida in 1988. While rolling up 481 total yards, the Wildcats averaged 7.3 yards per play. On Montana State’s first punt, the ball was snapped over Eric Fisher’s head and rolled to the 1. Fisher kicked it through the Kansas State end zone, and the ensuing illegal kick penalty gave the Wildcats a first-and-goal from the 1. Freeman carried it over on the next play. On Montana State’s second punt, the Wildcats scored their second touchdown. Adrian Stryker rushed up the middle to block the kick and Ernie Pierce recovered in the end zone. Leading 45-7 in the third quarter, the Wildcats did it again. Courtney Herndon came up the middle to block Fisher’s punt and Chris Carney picked up the ball on the 5 and ran into the end zone untouched.

The 69 points scored by KState were the since scoring a school-record 76 against Ball State in 2000. Also, Kansas State’s 31 first-quarter points were the most since the Wildcats tallied 34 in the first quarter against Ball State in 2000. For the second-consecutive week, Kansas State scored a touchdown on its first play from scrimmage. In their first game against North Texas, the Wildcats’ scoring drive was a four-yard score which took five seconds, the quickest in school history to start a season. Against Montana State, KState scored on a one-yard touchdown run in three seconds.., which was the quickest since the Wildcats also scored in three seconds against Florida International in 2005. The Wildcats recorded two blocked punts for touchdowns in a single game for the first time in school history. Kansas State also blocked two punts in the same game for the first time since Rashaad Washington blocked a pair of punts against Colorado in 2003. Linebacker Ulla Pomele recorded Kansas State’s first turnover of the season, forcing and recovering a Montana State fumble in the first quarter. Just over three minutes later, defensive back Ray Cheatham recorded K-State’s first interception of the season. Both turnovers led to scoring drives.

Junior punt returner Deon Murphy returned a thirdquarter punt 86 yards for a touchdown. It was Murphy’s second-career punt return for a touchdown, the first coming against Missouri State on Sept. 15, 2007. The 86-yard return was the eighth-longest in school history. Junior wide receiver Brandon Banks tallied 153 receiving yards against Louisville, becoming the Wildcats’ first 100-yard receiver since Jordy Nelson tallied 125 against Nebraska on Nov. 10, 2007, and the first receiver to collect over 150 yards since Nelson had a school-record 214 against Iowa State on Nov. 3, 2007. Junior tight end Jeron Mastrud collected his first-career touchdown reception, a 52-yarder from Josh Freeman. True freshman defensive end Brandon Harold recorded his first-career sack for a seven-yard loss, while he recorded two tackles for loss.

GAME 3 Louisville, Ky. — Junior quarterback Josh Freeman threw for 313 yards and three touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough as K-State dropped a 38-29 decision to Louisville at Papa John’s Stadium. Freeman, who eclipsed the 300-yard barrier for the first time on the season, broke the Kansas State career completions record of 501 held by Lynn Dickey (1968-70) midway through the contest. He went 22-of-42 through the air with three touchdowns and a pair of interceptions. Receiver Brandon Banks had career day with seven catches for 153 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He became the first Wildcat since Jordy Nelson in 2007 to post a 150-yard receiving day. However, Louisville overpowered the visiting Wildcats with 578 yards of total offense, including 303 on the ground. Freshman Victor Anderson ran for 176 yards and three touchdowns for the Cardinals, as Anderson scored on runs of 29, 56 and 27 yards. Louisville quarterback Hunter Cantwell threw for 274 yards and two touchdowns, Doug Beaumont had nine receptions for 119 yards and the Cardinals’ defense held Freeman largely in check when it mattered. Deon Murphy had a spectacular 86-yard punt return for the Wildcats, but Kansas State turned the ball over three times and had trouble solving Louisville’s three-pronged rushing attack of Anderson, Brock Bolen and Bilal Powell. Kansas State tried to rally, cutting it to nine on two late touchdown passes by Freeman, but Louisville’s defense got one last stop with just over two minutes left to end the comeback.

GAME 4 MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Josh Freeman broke Kansas State’s career yardage record and threw three touchdowns to help the Wildcats beat Louisana-Lafayette 45-37. Freeman was 21-of-28 for 272 yards and has 6,238 career yards to eclipse Lynn Dickey for No. 1 all-time on the Kansas State list. Freeman, a 6-foot-6, 250-pound junior who has started every game since his freshman year, also ran for two TDs. He threw TDs of 12 and 3 yards to Deon Murphy in the first half and connected with Brandon Banks on a 53-yard scoring play that made it 42-23 with 1:49 left in the third. But the Cajuns and Tyrell Fenroy, who had three touchdowns and 183 yards rushing, were not done. The Wildcats needed a trick play on fourth down and a key third-down pass by Freeman to hold the ball for more than 7 minutes and kick a field goal with 1:37 left to preserve the win. Right after Banks’ TD, Fenroy broke loose on a 69-yard touchdown gallop. Then halfway through the fourth quarter Fenroy’s 1-yard scoring run sliced the margin to 42-37. The Cajuns looked like they would get the ball back with plenty of time to try for the winning TD. But for the second week in a row, Kansas State snapped the ball directly to Tysyn Hartman on a fake punt and he ran 4 yards on fourth-and-two. On third-and-six with 3:15 left, Freeman hit Banks with a 17-yard pass, and Brooks Rossman kicked a 26-yard field goal for the final margin. Lamark Brown, a wide receiver, started at running back for Kansas State and had 137 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown that put Kansas State on top 35-17 in the third quarter.

Lamark Brown made his collegiate debut as a running back in the K-State backfield, transitioning from wide receiver. He finished the game with 29 carries for 142 yards and his first career rushing touchdown. He became the second Wildcat this season to surpass the century mark in his debut in the Wildcat backfield (Keithen Valentine, 119, Aug. 30, 2008). Wide receiver Brandon Banks tallied 127 receiving yards and a touchdown against Louisiana. With his 53-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter, Banks extended his streak with at least one touchdown reception to four games, the longest streak since Jordy Nelson’s school record streak of seven consecutive contests to open the 2005 season. Defensive end Ian Campbell registered 1.5 sacks to go with a personal seasonhigh 11 total tackles. Campbell improved his career sack total to 18.5, moved him into a tie for seventh in school history with Tim Colston (1992-95). At halftime, the Kansas State athletic department honored its 2008 Hall of Fame induction class. The 2008 honorees were legendary head football coach Bill Snyder and outgoing university president Jon Wefald. Snyder coached the Wildcats for 17 seasons, registering a schoolrecord win total of 136 victories and led the school to 11 bowl appearances and one Big 12 championship (2003).

GAME 5 MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Graham Harrell threw six touchdown passes and shattered the Texas Tech record for career yards passing, leading the No. 7 Red Raiders past Kansas State 5828 in the teams' Big 12 opener. Lyle Leong snared three touchdown passes from Harrell, who was 38-for-51 for 454 yards. Texas Tech, with its highest ranking in 32 years, scored on seven straight possessions and did not attempt a punt until Stefan Loucks replaced Harrell late in the fourth quarter. The Red Raiders rolled up 626 yards of total offense. Leong had scoring catches of 1 yard in the first quarter, 15 in the second and 7 in the third against the outmanned Wildcats (3-2, 0-1). Michael Crabtree had nine catches for 107 yards and two TDs. Facing fourth-and-inches from their own 29 late in the first quarter, the Red Raiders sent Shannon Woods on a sweep. But he was stuffed, and four plays later, Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman scored on a 1-yard run, knotting the game 14-all. Freeman, who a week earlier had become his own school’s career passing leader, was 13-for28 for 170 yards, including a 33-yard TD pass to Ernie Pierce. Pierce also scored on an 18-yard return of a blocked punt late in the game.

2009 SPRING FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS

GAME 6 COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Junior quarterback Josh Freeman completed 21 of 26 passes and ran for four touchdowns as Kansas State snapped its five-game losing streak to Texas A&M with a 44-30 win. Courtney Herndon returned a blocked punt for a touchdown for the Wildcats, who moved the ball at will in the first half and led 27-10 at the break. Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson tried to rally the Aggies, but the comeback stalled when Kansas State’s defense stuffed Jorvorskie Lane twice at the goal line midway through the fourth quarter. Freeman led a 98-yard drive the other way and sealed the win on a short touchdown run with 4:37 left. The Wildcats found the end zone on their opening drive for the fourth time this season. Freeman threw a 32-yard pass to Brandon Banks before scoring on a 12-yard run just over three minutes into the game. Kansas State forced a punt by Justin Brantly, who was blocked by linebacker Reggie Walker. Herndon’s touchdown made it 13-3. The Wildcats glided down the field again on their next possession. Logan Dold finished the drive with a 4-yard TD run. Freeman went 6-for-7 and scampered for 12 yards on a fourth-and-1 from the Aggies 28. Freeman finished a quick drive with another touchdown run with 4:20 left in the half. At that point, the Wildcats had 269 total yards and were averaging 7.7 yards per play.

Kansas State’s win over Texas A&M marked the first time in 11 years the Wildcats have been victorious against the Aggies. The last victory over Texas A&M was a 36-17 win in College Station on Oct. 18, 1997. The Wildcats marched 98 yards in 16 plays, using 7:24 of the clock on a fourth-quarter touchdown drive. The scoring drive capped off by a Josh Freeman rushing touchdown was the longest in terms of yards and time of the season. Kansas State blocked Texas A&M’s first punt of the day and returned it for a touchdown. Linebacker Reggie Walker recorded his first-career blocked punt, while junior defensive back Courtney Herndon returned the ball 10 yards for the touchdown. It was the fourth blocked punt returned for a touchdown of season, while it was the sixth blocked kick of the season (two extra points). The block marked the first time Aggie punter Justin Brantly had a punt blocked in 128 attempts The 44 points scored by Kansas State were the most in a conference game since the Wildcats racked up 51 points in a win over Baylor on Oct. 27, 2007. It was also the most points scored in a Big 12 road game since 45-0 shutout at Iowa State on Nov. 8, 2003.

GAME NOTES Kansas State blocked a 48yard field goal attempt by Colorado’s Aric Goodman in the second quarter. Ian Campbell blocked the kick, while Ray Cheatham recovered. It was the Wildcats’ nation-leading seventh blocked kick of the season and pulled them within one from tying the school record of eight in 2003. The Wildcats recovered their fourth fumble of the year as Ulla Pomele forced a Rodney Stewart fumble in the first quarter, which was recovered by Joshua Moore at the K-State 28yard line. Kansas State recorded another turnover in the first half as Moore intercepted a Tyler Hansen pass with 3:12 left in the second quarter. It was Moore’s first interception of the season and the second of his career. The Kansas State defense held Colorado to just 14 points Saturday night, the lowest point total given up in a conference game since Baylor scored 14 points on Oct. 27, 2007. Place kicker Brooks Rossman hit 2-of-4 field goals against the Buffaloes, including a long of 53 yards. The 53-yarder was the longest of his career and tied for the eighth-longest in school history. Rossman’s previous career high also came against Colorado, a 52-yarder on Oct. 13, 2007.

GAME 7 BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Tyler Hansen sparked Colorado to a 14-13 win over Kansas State. Hansen, whose photo wasn’t even included in Colorado’s media guide and who was planning to redshirt this season, made a surprise appearance in the first quarter and energized the Buffs while confusing the Wildcats. Although Cody Hawkins mostly handed off to Rodney Stewart (29 carries for 141 yards), he also hit J.R. Smith for 22 yards on third-and-15 from his own 29 on a drive. His fourth-and-4 pass to Smith, however, fell incomplete and Kansas State took over at its own 31 with 59 seconds remaining. Josh Freeman’s fourth-down desperation heave to Brandon Banks at the Buffs’ 20-yard line was broken up by free safety Ryan Walters on the last play of the game. Brooks Rossman kicked field goals of 37 and 53 yards but was wide right from 47 yards and wide left from 42 in the first half. The Wildcats pulled to 14-13 when Freeman scored untouched on 17-yard keeper early in the third quarter.

2009 SPRING FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS

GAME 8 MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — DeMarco Murray racked up 167 total yards and four touchdowns, and No. 4 Oklahoma sustained a 21-point Kansas State rally in the highest-scoring first half in school history to beat the Wildcats 58-35. Sam Bradford added three touchdown passes in a wild first half in which the Sooners (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) give up a 28-7 lead before taking control with 27 consecutive points of their own. The capper was a 68-yard punt return touchdown by redshirt freshman Ryan Broyles that gave the Sooners a 55-28 halftime lead. That total matched the school record for points in a half, set in the second half of Oklahoma’s victory over the Wildcats in 1942. Josh Freeman threw for a career-high 478 yards for K-State, with all three of his touchdown passes coming as the Wildcats charged back to tie it at 28. But with 8 minutes left in the half, the Sooners found time to score four touchdowns. With Oklahoma leading 21-7, Freeman rallied K-State back with touchdown passes on three straight drives — a 77-yarder to Brandon Banks, a 29-yarder to Jeron Mastrud and a 9-yarder to Murphy—to tie the game at 28. Freeman’s second touchdown pass pushed him past Ell Roberson’s school record for TDs in a career.

The final score of 58-35 was the most combined points (93) in the series between the Wildcats and Sooners since Oct. 15, 1988, when the teams combined for 94 points. The first half combined point total of 83 would have been the third-highest scoring game in the history of the series. Wide receiver Deon Murphy registered seven catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns and also amassed 187 yards in returns, totalling 279 all-purpose yards. His first kick-off return of the game was a 75-yard effort during the first quarter, which set-up his own eight-yard touchdown reception. Wide receiver Ernie Pierce notched career-highs with 11 catches for 176 yards, including a career-long 61yard reception in the second quarter. His yardage total was the most by a Wildcats since Jordy Nelson registered 214 yards at Iowa State on Nov. 3, 2007, while his 11 receptions were the highest since Nelson hauled in 15 at Fresno State on Nov. 24, 2007. Wide receiver Brandon Banks registered five catches for 145 yards and one touchdown, including a 77-yarder in the first quarter. It was the longest pass play from scrimmage since Oct. 15, 2005, at Texas Tech when Allan Evridge connected with Jordy Nelson on an 80-yard touchdown.

He became the first K-State running back to tally three rushing touchdowns since James Johnson had three against Missouri State on Sept. 15, 2007.

It was the second time this season Campbell blocked a field goal attempt and Cheatham advanced the ball (vs. Colorado). It also was the Wildcats’ school-record tying eighth blocked kick of the season. The last time K-State blocked eight kicks was in 2003. Defensive end Ian Campbell collected seven tackles, including 2.5 for loss. Campbell moved into sole possession of fifth place on the school’s all-time list with 20.5 sacks. Linebacker Alex Hrebec tallied a career-best nine tackles against Kansas, besting his previous career high of seven the week prior.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Lamark Brown rushed for three scores but Jake Sharp had 257 total yards and tied a school record with four touchdowns, as Kansas defeated rival Kansas State 52-21. Kansas ran for six touchdowns—one short of the school record—and harassed Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman into four turnovers. Brown was the only bright spot for Kansas State, scoring on runs of 4, 11 and 1 yards, though all three came after the game was out of reach. Sharp had 118 yards on nine carries and scored on runs of 4, 20 and 47 yards in the first quarter to put Kansas up 21-0. Sharp added a 2yard touchdown run in the third to put Kansas up 45-7 and finished with a career-best 181 yards rushing. He also caught five passes for 76 yards. Freeman threw an interception on his third pass attempt of the game, the ball fluttering into the hands of Kansas’ Russel Brorsen at the Jayhawks’ 42 after he was hit from behind by defensive end Jake Laptad. Sharp scored 70 seconds later, bursting off right tackle on a 20-yard run. Freeman finally got the Wildcats going late in the second quarter, converting a pair of fourth downs to get the Wildcats to the 1-yard line, only to lose the ball while trying to reach over the goal line.

GAME 10 COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Jeremy Maclin scored three touchdowns and totaled 278 all-purpose yards, helping No. 13 Missouri shake off a slow start in its home finale and beat Kansas State 4124. Missouri took control with 17 points in the final 5:46 of the half, including a pair of touchdown passes from Chase Daniel to Maclin. Maclin had eight receptions for 118 yards and two TDs, four carries for 84 yards and a third TD on a 56-yard jaunt on a direct snap. Kansas State scored twice—Brandon Banks’ 93-yard run and a 3-yard touchdown pass from Carson Coffman to Banks—in the final 1:11 to make the final appear respectable. Blair Irvin’s interception ended Missouri’s first possession after only two plays, and the second drive netted one first down. Two big plays from Maclin helped the Tigers open things up. He won a foot race on a simple swing pass on a 42-yard score, one play after Will Ebner’s blocked punt, and caught a 16-yard touchdown pass on one leg in the back of the end zone. Kansas State trailed 24-3 at the half and barely avoided getting shut out in the first 30 minutes for the second straight game, getting a 43-yard field goal from Brooks Rossman on the final play.

GAME NOTES The 92-yard scoring drive by Kansas State in the third quarter was the fourth scoring drive this season of more than 90 yards. Brandon Banks returned a fourth-quarter kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, marking the first kickoff returned for a score since James Johnson went 85 yards for a touchdown at Texas on Sept. 29, 2007. It was the 13th kickoff returned for a touchdown in school history and the first against Nebraska. The game against Nebraska marked the 17th time since 1990 that KState has scored on both defense and special teams, but the first time the Wildcats lost when doing so. Quarterback Carson Coffman came into the game with six minutes left in the third quarter. On his first series, the Peculiar, Mo., native led K-State on a nine-play, 92-yard drive, capped by a one-yard touchdown run by Coffman, the first of his career. He was also a perfect 2-for-2 passing with 68 yards on the drive, including a careerlong 51-yarder to Deon Murphy. Defensive back Courtney Herndon picked off Joe Ganz’s first pass of the ga,e and returned it 57 yards for a touchdown. The pick was Herndon’s second of the season and third of his career, while it was the first interception returned for a touchdown by Kansas State since Ian Campbell went 41 yards for a score at Texas on Sept. 29, 2007.

GAME 11 MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Junior Brandon Banks tallied 167 yards in kick returns, including a 98-yard touchdown jaunt, as Kansas State dropped a 56-28 decision to Nebraska at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Nebraska senior quarterback Joe Ganz accounted for 365 total yards and four touchdowns and the Cornhuskers dropped Kansas State for the second straight year. The Huskers did it with a balanced attack this time, punishing the Wildcats at the line of scrimmage for 340 yards and four touchdowns rushing. They complemented it with Ganz’s arm to finish with 610 total yards. Freeman, the nation’s 13th-ranked passer at 292 yards per game, faced constant pressure and was sacked five times. He had to hurry or throw off his back foot on several other throws, going 7for-18 for 114 yards before being replaced by Carson Coffman midway through the third quarter. Courtney Herndon intercepted Ganz’s first pass of the afternoon and returned it 57 yards for a touchdown, then Freeman answered two Nebraska TDs by hitting Ernie Pierce on a 63-yard scoring pass to tie it at 14-all.

GAME 12 MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Josh Freeman threw four touchdown passes as Kansas State beat Iowa State 38-30 in the season finale for both teams. The victory enabled the Wildcats to squeeze past Iowa State for fifth place in the Big 12 North. Austen Arnaud was 31-for-45 for 440 yards and three touchdowns for Iowa State, which lost its 17th straight on the road and has given up 226 points in its last five games. Brandon Banks had seven catches for 116 yards for Kansas State, including a 20-yard touchdown, and became the sixth receiver in school history to go over 1,000 yards in a season. Josh Freeman was 17-for-30 for 279 yards and four TDs against Iowa State's weak defense. The four touchdown passes had been accomplished 12 other times. Freeman threw a beauty of a 44-yard strike to Deon Murphy, who was double-covered but caught the ball perfectly in stride. He also snapped off a 5-yard TD pass to Murphy that made it 35-17 in the third quarter and connected with Ernie Pierce on a 19-yard strike after Josh Moore interception. Lamark Brown's 1-yard run gave Kansas State a 7-0 lead in the first quarter after Ian Campbell blocked his third field goal of the year, a Kansas State record. Arnaud threw TD passes of 19 and 5 yards to R.J. Sumrall and 28 to Marquis Hamilton. His 5yarder to Sumrall came as the final seconds of the season ticked off.

On the opening possession of the game, Kansas State blocked an Iowa State field goal attempt, which is the ninth blocked kick of the season (four punts, three field goals and two extra points) setting a new school record in the process. Ian Campbell blocked his third field goal of the season, setting a new singleseason school record in the category. K-State registered a oneyard touchdown plunge by Lamark Brown on its opening drive of the game, the first time since Oct. 18 at Colorado (field goal) that KState registered points on its first possession of the game and the first time since Oct. 11 at Texas A&M that K-State carded a touchdown on its opening possession. With one rushing touchdown, K-State finished with 26 on the season, the most since 2003. Quarterback Josh Freeman finished the day 17-of-30 for 279 yards and a school record-tying four touchdown passes, which happened on 12 other occurrences, the last by Ell Roberson, vs. Oklahoma on Dec. 6, 2003. Freeman finished with 20 TD passes on the season, which was a new careerhigh and tied him for fourth in school history with Brian Kavanagh (1996).
