Normally I do a “reset” during the bye week regarding my prediction and expectations for K-State football for the remainder of the season. It just so happens that the bye week for K-State this year comes after the first conference game, but I think I have seen enough from K-State and other teams in the conference to adjust my preseason prediction of a 9-3 record. In general, I think K-State’s prospects for making the Big 12 championship game are better…

He also had 86 receiving yards and was rewarded for his effort by receiving the Big 12 offensive player of the week award. This game was close until the fourth quarter, when K-State pulled away with two unanswered touchdowns to take a 44-24 lead. Will…

Add to that the fact that K-State’s defense was scorched early and often…
Sorry, everyone. It took me a couple of days to get over this loss. Missouri beat K-State 30-27 on Saturday on a 61-yard field goal as time expired. I was there to witness it in person. It was a great back and forth game with lots of drama and excitement. There were many big plays by both teams as well as lots of blunders. There’s a lot to dissect in this game, so let’s get to it. Be prepared for…
