It wasn’t 64 to nothing, but it was 15 in a row, as K-State beat Kansas 31 to 27 last night in Lawrence. A back-and-forth affair with five lead changes in total, the game was mostly frustrating to watch from the perspective of a K-State fan. KU was playing with third-string quarterback Cole Ballard, but that didn’t seem to matter as Kansas had the K-State defense on its heels for most of the first half, building a 20 to 16…

It’s time for some love for K-State’s offensive line. K-State dominated the Houston Cougars on Saturday 41 to nothing. K-State’s defense played great shutting out the Cougars, Will Howard was spectacular, Avery Johnson threw his first touchdown pass as a Wildcat, DJ Giddens had 96 yards rushing and two touchdowns, and Treshaun Ward added 32 yards and a touchdown.
