K-State Slate: 1.18.12
K-State Basketball K-State takes on Texas in Manhattan tonight. Peter has the preview over at Burnt Orange Nation, and it would be fair to say Peter has a pretty damn good read on K-State's personnel this year. Apparently practice has been much better since the Oklahoma game on Saturday. It...
Postgame Reaction: Oklahoma State Cowboys
K-State fought to the end, but couldn't find a way to stop the Oklahoma State offense in the fourth quarter of a 52-45 loss in Stillwater. The most painful thing about the loss to the Cowboys was knowing that K-State was so close to a win, and knowing how important that win would have been. With...
Postgame Reaction: That School Down the River
K-State notched its second-straight blowout of in-state rival KU, and its third win in a row overall in the Sunflower Showdown, with a 59-21 victory over the Jayhawks on Saturday. With the victory, K-State moves to 7-0 on the season, and is tied with Oklahoma State at 4-0 in the Big 12 conference....
Postgame Reaction: Texas Tech Red Raiders
Another game, another set of fans who feel like they should have won afterward. Texas Tech had 580 total yards to K-State's 339. The Red Raiders had 32 first downs to double K-State's total. Tech ran 96 plays to K-State's 65. And yet, for several fairly obvious reasons, K-State left Lubbock with a...
Postgame Reaction: Missouri Tigers
K-State moved to 5-0 for the first time since 2000 with a 24-17 victory over Missouri. For the third game in a row, K-State faced a favored opponent, and left with a win that had the opponent feeling like they should have taken the victory. Alas, they still measure wins by points scored, not total...
Postgame Reaction: Miami
K-State's defense may not have played to its top-ranked reputation, but it did enough and came through when it counted to preserve a 28-24 victory for the Wildcats. Behind a punishing running attack and a breakout performance from the newly anointed Honey Badger -- quarterback Collin Klein --...
Postgame Reaction: Kent State
K-State notched its first shutout in five years when the Wildcats blanked Kent State, 37-0. Given the outstanding defensive effort, it was appropriate that the first score of the evening came on a pick six, as cornerback David Garrett jumped an out route and took it to the house. Collin Klein and...
Postgame Reaction: Eastern Kentucky
Time for a reassessment. With all applicable disclaimers about small sample sizes, that was not what we expected. K-State defeated Eastern Kentucky, 10-7, on the strength of a 33-yard touchdown pass from Collin Klein to Chris Harper with a mere 1:39 remaining. The yardage gained on that play...
