Five touchdowns from quarterback Avery Johnson and 187 yards rushing from running back DJ Giddens made it a great day for K-State football and their fans. K-State beat Oklahoma State 42-20 on Saturday in front of another sellout crowd of 51,741. It was a huge victory in the race for the Big 12 championship, as league front-runner Utah lost to Arizona Saturday night. The Big 12 race has gotten much more complicated than I once thought, and K-State still has…

Is Saturday’s game between Oklahoma State and K-State an elimination game in the race to the Big 12 championship? After both teams lost their conference opener, it may very well be. I know it is still early, as we are only one game into the conference schedule, but I am skeptical that a two-loss team will make the Big 12 championship game. The loser of this game will start conference play 0-2 and have a huge hole to dig out…

It has been a long time since I have been as disappointed as I was last night watching a K-State football game. A bizarre sequence of events at the end of the first half into the third quarter doomed K-State. BYU won the game 38-9, but K-State dominated the game statistically, out-gaining BYU, 367 to 241 total yards. However, K-State made some huge mistakes turning the ball over in their own territory and BYU took full advantage of them. I…

K-State football travels to Provo, Utah for a game against BYU on Saturday night. Both teams open conference play with 3-0 records in the non-conference portion of their schedules. BYU beat Southern Illinois, SMU, and Wyoming, and K-State beat UT Martin, Tulane, and Arizona. This game is intriguing for a lot of reasons. Will the altitude affect K-State’s players? Will the late evening start be an advantage for BYU? Is BYU for real or is their undefeated record schedule-driven? We…

Wow, that was fun! A raucous home crowd watched K-State beat number 18 Arizona 31 to 7 on Friday night behind the right arm and legs of Avery Johnson and a spectacular defensive performance. Johnson was 14 of 23 passing for 156 yards, two touchdowns through the air, and added 110 yards rushing. After allowing an opening drive touchdown, the K-State defense pitched a shutout the rest of the game and suffocated the high-powered Arizona offense most of the night….
