Tyler Lockett was a bad, bad man Saturday where, as a returner, he scored a 58-yard touchdown, and almost had another punt return for a touchdown if not for a holding penalty. This led to Lockett winning the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week. It is the second week in a row that a Kansas State player has won a weekly award. Also on Saturday, Lockett passed his Uncle Aaron Lockett and moved into third place in receiving yards trailing Jordy Nelson and, of course, his dad Kevin Lockett.
