LIBERTY BOWL MEMORIAL STADIUM

In 1965, an unprecedented $32 million was paid for a four year contract with the NCAA to broad-cast football games on Saturday afternoons, Edward White became the first American to walk in space, and the Memphis Memorial Stadium opened. The playing surface was natural grass from its inception and was replaced by FieldTurf in 2005 and AstroTurf in 2012. Designed as a true bowl, the facility is built so that all seats provide a great view of the playing filed. Dedicated to Memphis veterans of World Wars I and II and the Korean War, it soon became the home of the Liberty Bowl football game, now known as the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. The stadium was soon renamed the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. In keeping with its patriotic theme, an historic electric American Flag was renovated and moved to the stadium in 1966. Lit at night, the unusual neon flag can be seen “waving” for miles.

CITY OF MEMPHIS

ONE OF AMERICA’S HISTORIC DESTINATIONSMemphis, Tennessee has taken its historical roots and leapt into the 21st century. Home to such legendary artists as B.B. King, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, and John Lee Hooker, Memphis’ musical tradition is second to none, but the River City’s appeal doesn’t stop there. From Graceland and the allure of Beale St. to the National Civil Rights Museum, Memphis’ offerings are as diverse and entertaining as anywhere in the Southeastern United States. Memphis has become known the world over for its special brand of smoky barbecue, so it’s no wonder one of the biggest annual events in Memphis is the World Championship Barbecue Contest held in May. Boasting a growing metropolitan population of over 1.26 million, Memphis is a city that gets attention, attracts visitors and does its best to make them never want to leave.

For those visiting Memphis or just getting to know the city, below is a list of “can’t miss” things to do while in town.

CATS, HOGS CLASH IN THE RIVER CITY

CATS FACE HOGS IN BIG 12/SEC SHOWDOWNTwo of college football’s most physical teams will meet for the second time in the last five

bowl seasons as Kansas State takes on Arkansas in the 2016 AutoZone Liberty Bowl, January 2, at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. This year’s AutoZone Liberty Bowl looks to be one of the more exciting bowl matchups of the season as both teams come into the contest with similar styles and both head coaches having familiarity and experience with each other. The AutoZone Liberty Bowl marks the 19th bowl game in K-State history and the 17th under Hall of Fame head coach Bill Snyder. The Wildcats will be making their first-ever appearance in the tradition-rich AutoZone Liberty Bowl and their sixth-straight bowl under Snyder. After narrowly missing postseason play in the first season of his second tenure in 2009 (6-6 record), Snyder quickly led K-State back into the bowl picture in 2010 when Kansas State played in the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl following a 7-5 regular season. Following a 10-2 campaign in 2011 and a berth in the AT&T Cotton Bowl, Snyder guided the Wildcats to the 2012 Big 12 Championship and a spot in the 2013 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl against Oregon, K-State’s second BCS bowl game. In 2013, K-State won six of its last seven games of the season, culminated by a dominating win over the Michigan Wolverines in the 2013 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl to finish 8-5, before last season’s 9-3 regular season mark catapulted the Wildcats to the Valero Alamo Bowl against UCLA.

A QUICK LOOK AT THE WILDCATS It was a tale of three segments to the 2015 football season for K-State as the Wildcats got off to a quick 3-0 start following wins over South Dakota, UTSA and Louisiana Tech. Close losses on the road at Oklahoma State and at home against TCU, both squads that would be ranked in the Top 10 during the season, followed. The Wildcats had their chances in both contests with fourth-quarter leads in each, but could not hold on. Four more Big 12 losses followed and put K-State in jeopardy of missing the postseason for the first time since 2009. But, a group of 18 seniors and a hall of fame head coach weren’t going to let that happen. K-State fought through adversity (both injuries and a 3-6 record) to win its final three games, two of which were capped by dramatic fourth-quarter comebacks, to become bowl eligible for the 17th time under Snyder. The Wildcat offense in 2015 fought through numerous injuries, including losing starting quarterback Jesse Ertz on the first series of the season, but managed to be productive in the tough Big 12 Conference as the Cats were in position late to win five of the six games they lost

this season. Quarterback Joe Hubener has recorded 13 rushing touchdowns on the season, which rank third among FBS quarterbacks, while running back Charles Jones has seen his most productive days as a Wildcat come in crunch time down the stretch this season. At wide receiver, Kody Cook, who led the Cats to a 24-23 win at quarterback against West Virginia to clinch bowl eligibility, and Deante Burton have been the go-to guys, while Winston Dimel and Glenn Gronkowski have been two of the top fullbacks in the Big 12 this season. Along the offensive line, senior Cody Whitehair has led the way for a group that saw all five starters earn Academic All-Big 12 recognition this season. On defense, the Wildcats surrendered just three total points in the first two games of the season before injuries in the secondary started to mount up. Up front, All-Big 12 players Travis Britz and Will Geary were consistent throughout the course of the season, while sophomore and All-Big 12 linebacker Elijah Lee led the team in tackles with 75. Britz collected 11.0 tack-les for loss on the season, while defensive end Jordan Willis led the team with 13.0 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. Special teams continue to be a dominant phase for the Wildcats as All-American returner Morgan Burns led the nation with four kickoff return scores this season, including one on the opening kickoff of the season and another that proved to be the game-winner in a bowl-clinching win over West Virginia. K-State also saw both of its place kickers, Jack Cantele and Matthew McCrane, earn All-Big 12 honors, marking the first team in the Big 12 to earn that honor since Colorado in 2001.

A QUICK LOOK AT THE RAZORBACKS Arkansas heads into the AutoZone Liberty Bowl with some momentum, having won five of its last six games of the season. The Razorbacks, led by former K-State co-defensive coordinator Bret Bielema, finished the regular season 7-5 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. All-SEC performers Sebastian Tretola (OL), Hunter Henry (TE), Alex Collins (RB) and Dan Skipper (OL) lead the Arkansas offense as it recorded a league-best six 200-yard rush-ing games in SEC play. Arkansas led the SEC in scoring in conference games at 34.4 points, while over its final four games of the regular season against SEC opponents, it averaged 40.5 points with 22 touchdowns (11 rushing & 11 passing). Quarterback Brandon Allen came on strong down the stretch and finished the season with 3,125 yards, 29 touchdowns and seven interceptions. On defense, Brooks Ellis has 101 total tackles, while Deatrich Wise has 10.5 tackles for loss and 8.0 sacks.

WILDCATS HEADED TOAUTOZONE LIBERTY BOWL • Following a 6-6 regular season that featured three-straight victories over the final three games of the season, Kansas State received its 19th bowl berth all-time and 17th under head coach Bill Snyder as the Wildcats will play Ar-kansas in the 57th AutoZone Liberty Bowl.• Of K-State’s 19 total bowl appearances all-time, 17 of those have come in the last 23 seasons.• The Wildcats are 7-11 all-time in postseason bowl games, 7-9 under Snyder and will have played in 11 different bowl games in school history following the Liberty Bowl.• All told, K-State has traveled to bowl games in seven dif-ferent states with Arizona (3-Fiesta, 3-Copper/Insight/Buf-falo Wild Wings) and Texas (3-Cotton, 2-Alamo, 1-Texas) being the most frequent destinations.

K-STATE IN TENNESSEE• Trips to the Volunteer State have been few and far between for K-State as the 57th AutoZone Liberty Bowl marks just the fourth trip to the state and the first in 31 years, which was a 26-14 defeat at the hands of Vanderbilt in Nashville in 1984.• K-State is 1-2 all-time in the state of Tennessee as the Wildcats also lost 21-14 at Memphis in 1949 before earning a 21-16 victory over the Tigers in Memphis in 1973.

CATS AND RAZORBACKS• The Liberty Bowl marks the sixth meeting between K-State and Arkansas – and the second in a bowl game – as the Wildcats hold a slim 3-2 advantage in the series.• Arkansas knocked off K-State, 29-16, in the 2012 (post 2011 season) Cotton Bowl, which was the first meeting be-tween the two schools since 1967.

K-STATE AND THE SEC•K-State will be playing its 136th game all-time against current members of the SEC, but 107 of those meetings were against either Missouri or Texas A&M as Big Eight/12 foes.• The AutoZone Liberty Bowl marks just the third time K-State will face an SEC team in a bowl game as the Wildcats defeated Tennessee in the 2001 Cotton Bowl, 35-21, and fell

to the Razorbacks in the 2012 Cotton Bowl.• Additionally, K-State has a pair of teams lined up for non-conference home-and-home series with Vanderbilt (2017, 2020) and Mississippi State (2018-19).

RIDING THE PURPLE WAVE• The Wildcat faithful continues to be one of the nation’s top traveling groups of supporters when it comes to bowl season. • In addition to a crowd of 40,000 at the 2013 Fiesta Bowl, an estimated 37,000 Wildcat fans swarmed to Tempe, Ari-zona, to watch Kansas State take on Ohio State in the 2004 Fiesta Bowl. • The Wildcats had an estimated 40,000 fans travel to Dal-las for the 1997 Cotton Bowl, a figure nearly matched for the 2001 Cotton Bowl. • The largest crowd ever to cross state lines to watch a col-lege football game went with the Wildcats to Tempe for the 1997 Fiesta Bowl as nearly 45,000 fans joined K-State for its victory over Syracuse. • As a result, K-State has averaged an announced atten-dance of more than 25,000 fans at each of its bowl games played in the Continental U.S. since 1993.

YOUTH MOVEMENT• A total of 12 players have made their fi rst-career starts in 2015, including a combined 10 freshmen or sophomores.• Of the 10 underclassmen to make starts this season, seven have been freshmen as fullback Winston Dimel and center Dalton Risner have started all 12 games in addi-tion to four starts by Dominique Heath and three by Dayton Valentine. Defensively, redshirt freshman safety Kendall Adams has made four starts, while true freshman corner-back Duke Shelley has started the last eight games.• Redshirt or true freshmen have combined to make 43 total starts this season, which is tied for the most under Hall of Fame head coach Bill Snyder with the 1989 team, Snyder’s fi rst year in Manhattan.• Additionally, a total of 28 freshmen or sophomores have seen playing time this season.

THE LAST TIME KANSAS STATE WAS...Ranked in CFP Poll: 12/7/2014 (11th)Ranked: 12/7/2014 (11th, AP; 10th, Coaches’)Ranked: 2014 Postseason (18th, AP; 18th, Coaches)Not Ranked but Received Votes in AP Poll: 10/4/2015Not Ranked but Received Votes in Coaches’ Poll: 10/11/2015

BOOKENDED SEASON• After starting the season 3-0, the 2015 Wildcats lost six-straight games but won their fi nal three to become bowl eligible.• With that feat, K-State is a statistical anomaly as the Wildcats became just the sixth Power 5 team – and fi rst from the Big 12 – in the 12-game schedule era (2006) to stave off bowl elimination in at least three-straight games (2-6 or 3-6 records).• Additionally, the Cats became just the third team since 1980 (joining 2011 Illinois and 2015 Indiana) to have a six-game losing streak yet fi nish the season with bowl eligibility.

BOOKENDED RETURNS• Breaking the season down even further, K-State began the year with a 100-yard kickoff return by Morgan Burns on the season-opening kickoff in a 34-0 win over South Dakota.• Trailing by six points in the fourth quarter of the regular-season fi nale against West Virginia, Burns returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown, which held up as the game-win-ning touchdown and fi nal score of the regular season.

NARROW MISSES• Five of K-State’s six conference losses were games that either ended in one-score defeats or were one-score games heading into the fi nal minutes of the contest.• The Wildcats held fourth-quarter leads against both Okla-homa State and TCU, while they had the ball with a chance to tie the game late against Texas, Baylor and Texas Tech.

SNYDER AMONG BEST EVER• Head coach Bill Snyder currently has 193 career victo-ries, 154 more than any other coach in school history.• Snyder ranks second in the FBS in wins among active coaches at their current schools, fi fth in total victories among active coaches and 29th in all-time wins.• He is seven wins away from becoming the 25th coach in FBS history with 200 career wins.• Snyder, who has 112 conference wins, is one of four coaches with 100 Big 8/12 victories (Tom Osborne [153], Bob Stoops [107], Barry Switzer [100]).

RECORD ATTENDANCE• Attendance at K-State games has been at an all-time high over the last three years as K-State has recorded 27 consecutive sellouts.• K-State has broken records each of the last three years as, in 2013, the Wildcats set the school records for total (423,095) and average (52,887) attendance.• The average attendance mark was reset each of the last two years with 53,081 fans last season and 53,100 in 2015.• K-State has fi nished second nationally in each of the last three seasons in terms of percentage of capacity fi lled as this year’s mark was 106.2-percent.• Seventeen of the largest 20 crowds in stadium history

have come in the last three seasons, while K-State is aver-aging 52,572 fans during its current sellout streak.

DRAWING FIRST BLOOD• Since 1990, K-State is 156-28 (.848) when scoring fi rst.• Last year, the Cats held a perfect 7-0 record when scoring fi rst, while K-State had won 14-straight games when scor-ing fi rst until this season’s game at Oklahoma State.• Dating back to the beginning of 2011, the Wildcats have gone 28-2 when scoring fi rst with their lone blemishes being losses at Oklahoma State in 2013 and 2015.• The 28-2 mark since 2011 is the sixth-best record among all FBS schools when scoring fi rst and tops among all Big 12 schools.

HALFWAY HOME• Since 1990, the Cats have protected a halftime lead in 176 of its 183 (.962) games when leading at the half.• K-State had won 49-straight games when leading at the half, which was the longest active streak in the country, un-til dropping two-straight games (Oklahoma State and TCU) this year following halftime leads.

COMEBACK KIDS• On the fl ipside, K-State had its best season in over a de-cade in terms of victories when trailing at halftime as the Wildcats won three of those games this season.• K-State trailed Louisiana Tech, 10-6, at half and won, 39-36, in three overtimes. The Wildcats were down to Iowa State, 35-14, at halftime and won 38-35, and also trailed West Virginia, 13-3, before coming back for a 24-23 win.• K-State only had three comeback wins over the last three years combined, while it was the most come-from-behind victories in one season since 1999 when the Wildcats fought off halftime defi cits for wins at Iowa State and Texas as well as in the 1999 Holiday Bowl against Washington.

CLEAN IT UP• K-State led the Big 12 and ranked 16th nationally last year with only 39.3 penalty yards per game, while the Cats were second in the league with 4.38 penalties per game.• With a young team in 2015, penalties were more fre-quent early in the year but the Wildcats cleaned up down the stretch. In the fi nal eight games of the regular season, K-State had just 32 (4.0 per game) to jump back to No. 1 in the Big 12.• K-State has ranked fi rst or second in the conference in fewest penalty yards per game each of the previous fi ve years. The Wildcats led the league in 2014, 2013 and 2011, while they ranked second in 2012 (31.0) and 2010 (43.7).

THESE CATS ARE SMART• For a second-consecutive season, Kansas State led the conference in Academic All-Big 12 players with 25 honor-ees, including a conference-high 18 on the fi rst team.• K-State also paced the Big 12 with three players that ac-complished 4.0 GPAs in Matt Seiwert (agribusiness), Stan-ton Weber (accounting) and Dillon Wilson (communication studies), as the Wildcats became just the second program in the previous 19-year history of the league to have at least three players nominated with 4.0 GPAs.• Weber, along with Jack Cantele (civil engineering), Will Davis (accounting) and Glenn Gronkowski (management

and marketing), were each three-time First Team Academic All-Big 12 honorees.• Cantele and Gronkowski were also named to the Aca-demic All-District 7 team. • K-State will have 22 players on its Liberty Bowl roster who will already have their degree from Kansas State in hand, which is the third most among bowl teams this season.

OFFENSIVE NOTESSCORING STREAK SNAPPED• K-State tallied points in 234 consecutive games dating back to the 1996 season until a shutout loss to Oklahoma.• The streak was the second longest in the Big 12, the ninth longest active streak and the 20th longest all-time.• The scoring streak endured 154 conference games, 85 true road games and 20 neutral-site contests.• In addition, K-State had not been held scoreless in 156 consecutive home games dating back to 1991.• Although the overall and home scoring streak was snapped, K-State is still currently riding a 107-game scor-ing streak in games away from Manhattan.

SCORING STREAK, PART II• Kansas State had also scored two or more touchdowns in 56 straight games, which was the third-longest streak in Big 12 history and third among FBS schools.

RED ZONE ALERT• Kansas State has been one of the best red zone teams over the past few years, including a perfect mark over the last six games.• The Wildcats lead the Big 12 and rank third nationally by converting on 94.1-perecent (45-of-51) on their red-zone attempts, which includes 34 touchdowns.• Over the second half of the season, K-State has been perfect on its 21 attempts into the red zone with 16 TDs.• Since the 2011 season, the Wildcats have scored 260 times in 293 trips (.887) to the red zone. Of those 260 scores, 192 have been touchdowns.• In their 44 wins over the last four-plus seasons, the Cats are 199-for-219 (.909) in red zone chances with 143 touch-downs, while four of their non-scoring trips have come via kneel downs to close out victories.

EXPERIENCED OFFENSIVE LINE• Kansas State returned a large majority of its offensive line from last season as returning players accounted for 78.5-percent of the total starts in 2014.• Three 13-game starters returned in left tackle Cody Whitehair, left guard Boston Stiverson and right tackle Matt Kleinsorge in addition to a 12-game starter at right guard in Luke Hayes.• Although experience litters the line, K-State was in need of replacing a four-year all-conference center in B.J. Finney and has done so with redshirt freshman Dalton Risner.• Whitehair, Kleinsorge, Hayes and Risner have started all 12 games, while Stiverson has started eight of the last nine contests with Terrale Johnson starting in his place four times.

HUBENER DEVELOPS INRUNNING GAME• Although junior Joe Hubener has shown the ability to throw the deep ball as he ranks 12th nationally in yards per completion, his running game took over during the second half of the regular season.• The Cheney, Kansas, native ranks second on the team with 613 yards and 13 touchdowns. His total yardage in-cludes a pair of 100-yard games, rushing for 111 yards and four touchdowns against TCU and 153 yards and two scores against Baylor. He also came close against Iowa State and Kansas with 90 yards and 88 yards, respectively.• Hubener’s 13 touchdowns this year are third nationally among quarterbacks, and his total is just two shy of entering the school’s top-10 list.• He has multiple touchdown runs in four games this sea-son, including in three of the last fi ve regular-season games.• His 153 yards against Baylor rank fi fth in school history by a quarterback and were the most by a Wildcat quarterback since Daniel Sams had 199 yards against Baylor in 2013. His four scores against TCU tied for the third most in a game in school history.

COOK CAN DO IT ALL• Senior Kody Cook can only be described by one term: Football Player. A career 21-game starter at wide receiver, Cook ranks second on the team in receptions (27), receiving yards (412) and receiving touchdowns (3), but he has also be instrumental to the offense under center.• One of just two players in the nation to record 100 or more passing, receiving and rushing yards (Houston’s Kyle Postma), Cook is the second player in school history to throw multiple touchdown passes as well score a touchdown via a rush and a catch in the same season, joining Steve Grogan (1974: 6 TD passes, 1 TD run, 1 TD rec).• Additionally, Cook is the third player in Big 12 history to total 100 or more yards passing, rushing and receiving in the same year, joining K-State’s Daniel Thomas (2010) and TCU’s Trevone Boykin (2013).• Cook was on the passing end of K-State’s longest play from scrimmage this season, a 77-yard scoring strike to Deante Burton against West Virginia in the regular-season fi nale. Cook entered the game at quarterback on the second play of the second half as he helped lead K-State back from a 10-point halftime defi cit to defeat the Mountaineers and become bowl eligible.

JONES’ SOLID SECOND HALF• Junior running back Charles Jones is in the midst of his best days as a Wildcat as he averaged 79.3 yards per game over the fi nal six regular-season contests compared to a 30-yard average in the fi rst half of the season.• The Shreveport, Louisiana, native recorded a career-best 122 yards on 18 attempts at Texas, which was the most rushing yards by a K-State running back since John Hubert

at Kansas in the 2013 regular-season fi nale (220).• He narrowly missed another 100-yard game at Texas Tech, fi nishing with 99 yards.• Of his six career games with 75-plus rushing yards, four have come this year, including three of the last four games.• During the game at Texas Tech, Jones became the 27th player in school history to hit the 1,000-yard mark in a ca-reer. He now has 1,196 career rushing yards to rank 22nd in school history.

FULLBACKS PRESENTOFFENSIVE THREAT• Both junior Glenn Gronkowski and redshirt freshman Winston Dimel – a First Team All-Big 12 selection by the league’s coaches – are dangerous offensive weapons as the duo have been involved in nearly 20-percent of K-State’s offensive touchdowns (8 of 41).• In the running game, Dimel is tied for second on the team with fi ve rushing scores, including a pair of games with two touchdowns. His fi ve rushing scores are the third most in school history among freshmen.• Against Kansas, Gronkowski recorded his fi rst career rushing touchdown, an eight-yard score.• As receivers, each player has one touchdown catch this season, including Dimel’s against Iowa State that was thrown by none other than Gronkowski.• It was the fi rst time a Wildcat non-quarterback threw a touchdown pass since Daniel Thomas hit Aubrey Quarles for a 67-yard scoring strike at Baylor in 2010.• Gronkowski has averaged 24.6 yards on 15 career recep-tions, the highest average in school history among players with 15 or more catches. Likewise, Dimel has a 30.4-yard average on seven catches, the highest among players with seven or more receptions.

TOP OFFENSIVE FRESHMEN• Running back Justin Silmon and wide receiver Domi-nique Heath are just two of the many freshmen contributing this season.• Silmon has 353 rushing yards this year, which ranks sec-ond in school history among freshmen. He has bettered the marks of Darren Sproles (210 yards in 2001) and Daniel Sams (235 yards in 2012), among others.• Heath ranks second on the team in catches (27) and touchdown receptions (3), while he is third in yards (298).• He ranks third in school history in catches, yards and touchdowns by a freshman.

WHITEHAIR VETERAN LEADER• Offensive lineman Cody Whitehair entered his senior campaign as a team leader with multiple accolades to boot.• Whitehair, a captain for the 2015 season, was on the watch lists for the Outland and Lombardi trophies, while he was a Preseason All-Big 12 pick by the league’s media.• A product of Abilene, Kansas, Whitehair also earned Preseason All-America honors from Athlon, while Lindy’s named him the eighth-best offensive tackle in the nation.• Whitehair has started 50 of his 51 career games, includ-ing a current streak of 40-straight.• He earned his fourth-consecutive All-Big 12 honor this season, but his fi rst-career fi rst team accolade. Whitehair also picked up votes for the Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year award.

DEFENSIVE NOTES SECOND-HALF RESURGENCE• The Wildcats have turned in some terrifi c performances on defense in the second half of games over the second half of the season• Over the fi nal six games against Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech, Iowa State, Kansas and West Virginia, the Cats gave up an average of 184.8 total yards and 8.5 points in the fi nal 30 minutes.• Five of those games consisted of giving up no more than 152 yards and 10 points in the second half.• In the win over Iowa State, K-State gave up just 144 yards and zero points, which helped lead to the largest comeback in school history (21 points).• K-State also allowed just 10 second-half points to Baylor, which was averaging 61.1 per game entering the contest.

NO BIG PLAYS• Since 2012, K-State has yielded just 172 plays of 20 or more yards – the fourth-fewest among FBS teams. This season, the Wildcats have surrendered 61 20-plus yard plays from scrimmage, but gave up 46 over the fi nal eight games of the regular season.

OFF THE BOARD• K-State held its fi rst two opponents to just three total points. The last time that occurred was back in 2002 follow-ing a 48-3 win over Western Kentucky to open the season and a 64-0 blanking of ULM the next week.• The last time the Wildcats held two straight foes to less than three points was back in 1995 when the Cats recorded three-straight shutouts, while the last time it happened in the fi rst two games of a season was back in 1936.• In fact, no FBS team had shut out three straight oppo-nents since that 1995 stretch until Michigan did so earlier this season.

SHUTOUT VICTORY• K-State’s shutout win over South Dakota in the season opener was the third for the Wildcats since Bill Snyder re-turned to the sidelines in 2009 and also was the fi rst shut-out in a season opener since 1999.• It also marked the 22nd blanking of an opponent for a Snyder-coached team during his tenure, which includes three-straight shutouts in 1995. BEHIND ENEMY LINES• The Cats have recorded at least seven tackles for loss in seven games this season, including each of the fi nal regular-season games.• The seven games with seven-plus TFLs are the most since recording 10 in the 15-game 2003 season.• K-State recorded eight TFLs in consecutive games against Oklahoma and Texas, the fi rst time with eight or more in consecutive games since 2012 (Miami and North Texas).• Sitting at 69 TFLs, the Cats are in search of their fourth-straight season with 70-plus TFLs.

* Practice Squad^ Injured Reserve

SACK MASTERS• K-State has had one of its better seasons in terms of sacks, recording 36 during the regular season to tie for 10th nationally.• The 2015 Wildcats, who are tied for ninth in school history in sacks, have recorded at least four in each of their fi nal three regular-season games and fi ve times overall.• The season sack total is the highest since the 2006 squad carded 40 to tie for fi fth in school history.

TOUGH AGAINST THE RUN• Dating back to 2011, K-State has yielded 139.1 rushing yards per game (over 64 games).• Since 2011, K-State has held 24 of its 64 opponents to 100 yards or less, including four foes in 2014 and four op-ponents – South Dakota (61), UTSA (37), Oklahoma State (49) and KU (100) – in 2015.• Through four games, the Cats had given up only 284 total yards on the ground, which was the fewest amount given up over the fi rst four games of a season since 2003 when the Cats yielded 250 over that same stretch.• TCU ran for 242 yards on 23 attempts, but just 87 yards on 21 carries when taking out touchdown runs of 86 and 69 yards, while Baylor had 103 yards after averaging more than 300 per game entering the contest.

PICK ME• Over the last 35 contests K-State has recorded multiple interceptions in a game, the Wildcats hold a 29-6 record.• The Wildcats are 9-1 over the last two seasons when re-cording two or more picks, including a 5-0 mark in 2014.• The Wildcats’ top interception man entering 2015 was Dante Barnett with seven, while Morgan Burns recorded three last year in his fi rst year as a starting cornerback and added the fourth of his career this season at Kansas.

LEE LEADING DEFENSE• A defensive end in high school, linebacker Elijah Lee has been impressive learning on the job as the Second Team All-Big 12 pick leads the Wildcats with 75 tackles.• Lee, who became the fi rst K-State underclassman line-backer to earn fi rst or second team All-Big 12 honors since Mark Simoneau in 1998, ranks third in the Big 12 among underclassmen with 5.0 sacks this season.• The Blue Springs, Missouri, product set a career high with 12 tackles against Louisiana Tech, while he has at least eight stops in fi ve games, including four of the fi nal six regular-season games.• Lee also has two of K-State’s four interceptions this year, both coming against TCU. He became the fi rst K-State linebacker with two picks in a game since Bryan Hickman against Oklahoma State in 2002.

D-TACKLES MAKING TACKLES• Defensive tackle is a position most believe takes up blockers to let the linebackers make tackles, but K-State’s duo of Will Geary and Travis Britz are doing both as they have combined to total 81 tackles and 16.5 tackles for loss.• They rank fi rst in the Big 12 in tackles and second in TFLs among starting tackles in four-down linemen defenses.• Britz had his best career game at Texas with nine tackles and 4.0 TFLs. His TFL total was the most by a Wildcat since Ian Campbell had 5.0 in the 2006 season opener against

Illinois State, while it was the most by a Wildcat defensive tackle since at least 1989. • He has 11.0 TFLs, the most by a Wildcat interior defen-sive lineman since Mario Fatafehi had 15.0 in 2000. Britz ranks 13th in the Big 12 and third among defensive tackles in TFLs.• Geary is on pace for 49 tackles this year, which would be the most by a Wildcat defensive tackle since Jermaine Berry in 2004 (55).• His season total was given a boost against Oklahoma as he carded career highs in tackles (8), tackles for loss (3.0) and sacks (2.0).

FORCING THE ISSUE• K-State had a stellar game against Iowa State in terms of forced fumbles with four as a team, including a pair from defensive end Jordan Willis.• Willis’ two forces are the most by a Wildcat since Adam Davis had two against Miami in 2012.• A product of Kansas City, Missouri, Willis has four forced fumbles this season to lead the Big 12 and rank eighth na-tionally. He is also one away from entering the top-fi ve in school history for a season.• Willis also had two sacks against Iowa State and Kansas, becoming the fi rst Wildcat with at least 2.0 sacks in con-secutive contests since Monty Beisel in 2000.

MOORE PRODUCTION• Averaging less than one tackle per contest over his fi rst 32 career games, linebacker Charmeachealle Moore has come out of virtually nowhere as his best games as a Wild-cats have coincided with K-State’s three-game winning streak.• Moore averaged 11 tackles per game against Iowa State, Kansas and West Virginia, which included a 17-tackle ef-fort against the Mountaineers en route to Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors.• Of his 17 tackles, 16 were solo stops to tie for the most nationally this season and are the most by a Wildcat since at least 1999.

ADAMS AT SAFETY• In a similar fashion, redshirt freshman safety Kendall Ad-ams has started each of the last three games, recording 24 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and sack, helping the Wildcats reach bowl eligibility with wins in the fi nal three games of the regular season.• Adams’ previous high in tackles was seven at Texas be-fore totaling 12 against Iowa State and six in each of the last two games.

YOUTH ON THE EDGE• In a move that is uncharacteristic for a Bill Snyder-led team, true freshman cornerback Duke Shelley pulled off his redshirt in the sixth game of the season and started the fi nal eight games of the regular season.• The Tucker, Georgia, product has recorded 28 tackles, one tackle for loss and seven pass breakups, including four in the regular-season fi nale against West Virginia.• Shelley, the fi rst Wildcat true freshman to start at corner-back since 2006, recorded the most pass breakups by a K-State freshman since Jerametrius Butler had 12 breakups and two interceptions as a redshirt freshman in 1998.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES CATS TOPS IN NON-OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWNS• K-State is the nation’s best in non-offensive touchdowns over the last 15-plus seasons as they have 101 since 1999.• Since 1990, the Wildcats are 56-17 when scoring on spe-cial teams and 19-1 when scoring on special teams and defense, including a 17-0 mark under Bill Snyder.• The Wildcats have had at least fi ve non-offensive touch-downs in four of the last fi ve years and in 15 of the 17 sea-sons since 1999.• Morgan Burns has all fi ve of the Wildcats’ non-offensive touchdowns this season. He opened the 2015 season with a 100-yard kick return against South Dakota and added return touchdowns against Texas Tech (93 yards), Iowa State (100 yards) and West Virginia (97 yards). He also recovered a blocked punt in the end zone for a score in a win over KU.

KICK RETURN STREAK• Kansas State has returned a kickoff for a touchdown in each of the last 11 seasons, which is the longest streak in the nation.• Auburn is second on the list by doing so six-straight sea-sons, while Northern Illinois and Florida are tied for third with fi ve apiece.• Morgan Burns has all four kickoff-return touchdowns for the Wildcats this year, and he also kept the streak alive in 2014 with an 86-yard return score against Oklahoma State.• Since head coach Bill Snyder’s return in 2009, K-State has returned 16 kickoffs for touchdowns as opposed to only four in his fi rst tenure, which lasted 17 years.

SCORING IN THE THIRD PHASE• Kansas State has been far and away the best team among Power 5 programs over the last decade when it comes to scoring via a kickoff or punt return.• The Wildcats have a combined 40 kickoff- and punt-re-turn touchdowns since 2005, 12 more than any other Power 5 school over the last 11 seasons.• K-State has been fairly consistent between kickoff and punt returns with 21 and 19 touchdowns, respectively, dur-ing the current stretch.

BURNING DOWN THE SIDELINE• Senior Morgan Burns, an All-American kick returner and 2015 Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year, has taken four kickoffs back for scores and holds a 33.8-yard average.• His four scores this year are tied for the Kansas State and Big 12 records, while he has five in his career to tie the school and conference records as well.• A product of Wichita, Kansas, Burns ranks second nation-ally this season in kickoff-return average, while he is tops in total kickoff-return yards with 1,047, which is just 81 yards shy of breaking the school’s single-season record.• His total includes a school-record 221 kickoff-return yards at Texas Tech, the most by a Big 12 returner since Texas’ Fozzy Whittaker went for 252 yards against Okla-homa State in 2011.• Burns’ effort at Texas Tech earned himself Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week honors, the first of a conference-record four-straight weekly awards for the senior.

GOING THE DISTANCE• When Morgan Burns returned an Iowa State kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, it marked the first time in school history a player took a kickoff the entire length of the field twice in one season.• He returned the season-opening kickoff 100 yards for a score against South Dakota, which is believed to be the first time K-State returned the first kickoff of the season for a touchdown.• He is the first Big 12 player since 2011 (Texas’ Fozzy Whittaker) to have two 100-yard returns in a season, while he is the only player nationally to accomplish the feat this season.

PRESSURE-PACKED KICKS• First Team All-Big 12 place kicker Jack Cantele has had a knack for making pressure-packed kicks this season.• Cantele, who has been true on 12-of-14 field goals this year, made four-field goals against Louisiana Tech en route to Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week and Lou Groza Award Star of the Week honors.• He had a 44-yard field goal in a “must-make” situation to send the game to a third overtime where the Wildcats eventually won.• Cantele also recorded a game-winning 42-yard field goal with three seconds left against Iowa State. It was his second career game-winner as he hit a 41-yarder with three sec-onds left against TCU in 2013.• He became K-State’s first First Team All-Big 12 place kicker since Jamie Rheem in 2000.

KICKERS READY WHEN NEEDED• Kansas State has been fortunate to have two reliable place kickers since both have missed time during the season.• Jack Cantele, who earned First Team All-Big 12 honors, and Matthew McCrane, an Honorable Mention All-Big 12 selection, became the second set of kickers in conference history to both earn all-league accolades (2001 Colorado).• Cantele has 28 career field goals and McCrane has made 22 as they are just one of two pairs of kickers nationally to have at least 20 career field goals made.• McCrane also ranks first nationally among active kickers by making 95.7-percent of his career field goals (22-of-23).

HEAD COACH BILL SNYDER

Precise. Intense. Tireless. Accomplished. Dedicated. Caring. Hall of Famer. Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder is all of these and much more. To understand the full picture of Snyder, it is necessary to acknowledge his values, sincerity and warmth, along with the concern he shows for the people around him – all qualities that solidify his reputation as an innovator and mentor in college athletics. The architect of the “greatest turnaround in college foot-ball history” returned to the sidelines in 2009 with hopes of revitalizing a program that he once built, piece by piece, into a national force. And, after seven seasons back in charge, he has done just that – and then some. Over the past seven years, K-State has totaled 57 victories – an average of 8.1 wins per year – advanced to six-straight bowl games, won a conference championship in 2012 and fin-ished third or better in the ultra-competitive Big 12 Conference in three of the last five seasons. However, the recent success should come as no surprise as Snyder took over a program in 1989 that was in the midst of a 27-game winless streak and turned it into a national contender that advanced to 11-straight bowl games and tallied six 11-win seasons over a seven-year stretch. Turning around a program not only once, but twice, is one of the biggest reasons why Snyder became just the fourth per-son all-time to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as an active coach. The man who said, ‘No,’ to those who said it couldn’t be done in Manhattan, Kansas, was en-shrined in the hall in December. The latest chapter in the career of the legendary coach was in 2015, Snyder’s 24th year at the helm of the program and perhaps one of his greatest in-season coaching jobs, which saw the Wildcats bounce back from a 3-6 start and win three-straight games to end the year and advance to the program’s 17th bowl game under the legendary head coach. Following a 3-0 start, K-State lost several close contests to nationally-ranked Big 12 opponents and found itself in a win-or-go-home scenario in regards to bowl eligibility with three games remain-ing. But, Snyder’s charges rallied behind 18 seniors, including

2015 Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year Morgan Burns, as well as Goal No. 10 “Never Give Up” of Coach Snyder’s 16 Goals for Success to make it back to the postseason. In fact, K-State became just the sixth FBS program since 2006 to stave off bowl elimination for at least three straight games. In 2014, the squad recorded its 13th season with nine or more wins and top-20 finish in the Associated Press poll. The Cats reached the top 10 during the season with a 7-1 start as K-State’s lone early-season loss come at the hands of No. 5 Auburn. Led by Consensus All-American wide receiver Tyler Lockett, who became the school’s first four-time All-American and school record holder for career catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, the Cats played for a Big 12 Cham-pionship in the final weekend of the regular season. A total of 14 players earned All-Big 12 honors in 2014 while Lockett was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year for the second straight season and four-year starter B.J. Finney was Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year. Finney joined Lockett by earning All-America honors at center, while redshirt freshman place kicker Matthew McCrane was an honorable mention All-American. Act Two of the renowned career started in 2009 when the Wildcats went 6-6 prior to a 7-5 campaign in 2010 and a berth in the inaugural Pinstripe Bowl. K-State’s climb back into the nation picture continued in 2011 as the Cats went 10-3, finished No. 8 in the BCS stand-ings and earned their first Cotton Bowl invitation since 2001. The bar was raised again in 2012 as Snyder led the Cats to their third conference championship in school history and first since 2003. Kansas State, which won its first 10 games of the season and finished the regular season at 11-1 with an 8-1 mark in Big 12 play, tied the school record for overall wins and conference victories while also ascending to No. 1 in the BCS rankings following its 10-0 start. Snyder went on to win the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award as well as top Big 12 coach honors for the second straight season following the Cats’ memorable 2012 season that culminated with a berth in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

SNYDER AT KANSAS STATE(1989-2015)

BILL SNYDERHEAD COACH

24th Season at K-State

Five-Time National Coach of the Year

just the fourth person in the history of college football to be inducted into the Hall of Fame as an active coach

17K-STATESPORTS.COM

HEAD COACH BILL SNYDER Quarterback Collin Klein became just the second player in school history to be named a Heisman Trophy finalist, while a school-record 20 Wildcats earned 2012 All-Big 12 honors includ-ing Klein (Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year), Arthur Brown (Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year) and Meshak Williams (Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year). In 2013, K-State opened the year 2-4 with all four defeats being by 10 points or less. But Snyder’s charges continued to im-prove each week and went on to become just the fourth team in Big 12 history to bounce back from the slow start to become bowl-eligible. And, with a victory over Michigan in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, the 2013 Wildcats became just the eighth FBS team in the BCS era to earn eight wins after starting a season 2-4 or worse.

In 2011, Snyder’s Wildcats jumped out to a 7-0 start – the best in 12 years – which included wins at Miami, against 15th-ranked Baylor and at Texas Tech. Following a two-game skid to a pair of nationally-ranked teams, the Cats got back into the win column with a thrilling four-overtime victory over Texas A&M – the longest conference game in Big 12 history – before ending the year with wins at Texas and against Iowa State. For his efforts in 2011, Snyder was named the Woody Hayes National Coach of the Year, as well as picking up national coaching honors from Sporting News, Rivals.com and CBSSports.com, and the Big 12 Coach of the Year by the AP and league’s coaches. He also tutored 11 players to All-Big 12 honors, including the Defen-sive Newcomer of the Year in Brown and the Offensive Freshman of the Year in Lockett, who, along with Nigel Malone, was named a Walter Camp All-American. In 2010, Snyder’s Wildcats jumped out to a 5-1 start, which included big wins over UCLA, Conference USA Champion UCF and Iowa State, behind All-Big 12 running back Daniel Thomas, who became the fastest Wildcat in school history (in terms of games) to rush for 1,000 yards. In his first season back as the head man of the Wildcat pro-gram, Snyder led the Wildcats to a 6-6 record in 2009 and a second-place finish in the Big 12 North. In fact, K-State was just one win away from advancing to the Big 12 Championship game as the Wildcats played at Nebraska in the regular-season finale with a championship game berth on the line. K-State claimed more First Team All-Big 12 selections on of-fense than any other school with four. Thomas, the Big 12 New-comer of the Year, led the league in rushing, while Nick Stringer, Jeron Mastrud and Brandon Banks also garnered First Team All-Big 12 accolades. Named the 32nd head football coach at K-State on Nov. 30, 1988, and again as the 34th on Nov. 24, 2008, Snyder has amassed a 193-100-1 (.656) record during his tenure with the Wildcats, including a 112-77-1 (.592) mark in Big 8/12 games. His 193 victories are more than four times the man in second place on K-State’s all-time coaching victories list and rank 29th in FBS his-tory. But to fully understand the turnaround ushered in by Snyder at Kansas State one must only consider that the Wildcats had not won a game in the two previous seasons prior to his arrival. It also took K-State 51 seasons (1938-1988) to total just 130 wins, while the 12 head coaches prior to Snyder’s arrival in Manhattan combined to win just 116 games from 1945-1988. Snyder led Kansas State to 11-straight bowl berths between the 1993 and 2003 seasons, making K-State one of only seven programs in the nation to appear in the postseason every year during that stretch. During that span, Snyder’s Wildcats won nearly 80 percent of their games, chalking up 109 victories – a staggering average of nearly 10 wins per season – and making Kansas State the nation’s second-winningest program over that period. And Snyder continued to break new ground with the Wildcats. Kan-sas State’s 35-7 victory over top-ranked Oklahoma in the 2003 Big 12 Championship game lifted K-State to its first conference championship since Pappy Waldorf’s 1934 squad and secured the school’s first BCS bowl berth in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. With an 11-4 record in 2003, K-State was the only team in the country to win 11 games in six of the previous seven years and just the second program in the history of college football to win 11 games six times in a seven-year stretch.

Snyder’s unprecedented success in 23 years at K-State has not gone unnoticed. He has been named the National Coach of the Year five times (1991, 1994, 1998, 2011 and 2012). He has been a final-ist for the prestigious Bear Bryant/FWAA National Coach of the Year Award in 1993, 1995, 2011 and 2012, while winning the award in 1998; a finalist for the Football News National Coach of the Year Award in 1995 and 1998; and a finalist for the AFCA National Coach of the Year Award in 1993 and 1998. In 1993, he joined legendary Nebraska head coach Bob Dev-aney as the only head coaches in Big Eight history to be named Associated Press Big Eight Coach of the Year three times in a four-year period (1990, 1991 and 1993). Since the inception of the Big 12 Conference, Snyder’s Wildcats truly have been a dominant force in the league, ranking in the top three in overall Big 12 wins. Kansas State also won more Big 12 road games than any team in the league during Snyder’s first tenure and advanced to the championship game three times. Those facts alone demonstrate the continuing evolution of a power in the Big 12 and with it the recognition that Snyder is truly one of the finest coaches ever in college football. The list of accomplishments Snyder has amassed in his 23 years is as endless as the time most people thought it would take for the Wildcats to be a consistent threat in the Big Eight, and now, Big 12 Conference. Like so many in recent history, the 2003 campaign was a dramatically successful one for K-State, which ended the regular season with seven straight wins, a fourth Big 12 North title, its first Big 12 Championship and another top-20 finish. But the 2003 season was not without its bumps in the road as the Wildcats overcame their share of adversity to produce perhaps the greatest season in school history. Ranked as high as No. 6

nationally in the early going, a key injury to quarterback Ell Rober-son precipitated a three-game slide that threatened to wipe out a promising season. The three losses all but erased K-State from the national con-sciousness, as the Wildcats slipped out of the both polls for the first time since the second game of the 2002 season. But Snyder was not about to allow the year to spiral out of control. He con-stantly reminded his players that they still controlled their own destiny, and if they could just go 1-0 each week, the season would take care of itself and the team would ultimately achieve its goals. And like everything Snyder seems to touch, this strategy too worked, as the Wildcats rode their 1-0 mantra week after week all the way to a berth in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Along the way, five different Wildcats were lauded for their efforts with All-America honors, including K-State’s first Associ-ated Press first team All-American running back, Darren Sproles, who finished fifth in voting for the Heisman Trophy, was the Doak Walker Award runner-up and finished third on the AP’s Player of the Year ballot. But Sproles was the lone player with star power that returned for 2004. And though the little tank produced yet another record-breaking season capped by his third straight All-Big 12 selection, the lack of experience was one reason K-State struggled through a 4-7 rebuilding campaign. The 2002 season was one of the best in Kansas State history, witnessed by the Wildcats’ five-victory turnaround from the previ-ous year’s 6-6 team to a win in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl and an 11-2 overall record. In addition, the 2002 Wildcats set or tied 45 school records, including tying the mark for wins in a season.

“Bill Snyder isn’t the coach of the year, and he isn’t the coach of the decade. He’s the coach of the century.” Barry Switzer, former Oklahoma and Dallas Cowboys head coach


HEAD COACH BILL SNYDER

Snyder’s Wildcats finished the season with six consecutive vic-tories, including the biggest wins in the history of the series in each of a three-week span over KU, Iowa State and Nebraska. The Wildcats’ dominant play down the stretch of the 2002 season earned Snyder the recognition of his peers as the Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year.

In 2001, Snyder directed one of the best in-season turnarounds in school history. Despite losing four straight in the middle of the year and facing the fourth-toughest schedule in the nation, the Wild-cats recovered to win four of their last five games to end the regular season with a 6-5 record and a berth in the Insight.com Bowl. Despite the record, the quality of players produced by the Snyder-led coaching staff continued to attract national attention from those who best know the game. Six K-State players were selected in the 2002 NFL Draft, the most of any team in the Big 12 Conference, with only six schools in the country having more players picked in the draft. Thanks to that draft, and many others before and after it, the Wildcats currently lead the Big 12 Conference by having a player selected in the NFL Draft each of the last 21 seasons.

The Cats started the 2000 season ranked in the top 10 for just the second time in school history and made a four-week run into the top five that saw K-State climb as high as No. 2. K-State won the Big 12 North for the second time in three years and earned at least a share of the title for the third consecutive season. K-State had six players named First Team All-Big 12 by the coaches, and Jamie Rheem, Mario Fatafehi and Quincy Morgan were All-Americans. The 1999 season saw the Wildcats climb from No. 20 in the preseason poll to finish at No. 6 after starting the season with nine straight victories, and win 11 games for the third straight year. K-State tied Nebraska for the Wildcats’ second consecutive Big 12 North Division Championship. All this came in what many thought would be a rebuilding season. K-State led the conference in first-team picks with seven. In 1998, Snyder led K-State to its second straight 11-win sea-son and a No. 4 ranking in the final polls. In November, K-State

occupied a No. 1 ranking in a national poll for the first time in school history. The Wildcats won the Big 12 North and advanced to a bowl game for the sixth year in a row. K-State won its first 11 games of the season and ran its winning streak to a school-record 20 games before falling to Texas A&M in the Big 12 Championship game. Quarterback Michael Bishop became the first Wildcat to be a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, and a total of six players earned All-America honors. Snyder earned National Coach of the Year honors from the Wal-ter Camp Foundation, the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Founda-tion, the Associated Press, the Paul “Bear” Bryant Award and the Schutt Sports Group. In 1997, Snyder led the Wildcats to their first 11-win season in school history, a No. 7 final ranking and the first 10-win regular season since 1910. It was just the third 10-win season in 102 years of K-State football. Kansas State won a school-record seven conference games, finishing second in the North to undefeated and eventual national champion Nebraska.

The Wildcats defeated South Division champion Texas A&M, 36-17. The season ended with a 35-18 win over Big East Conference champion Syracuse in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, with an estimated 50,000 K-State fans attending K-State’s first-ever Alliance Bowl. The 1996 season saw K-State finish with a 9-3 record, while more than 45,000 Wildcat fans painted Dallas purple for the Cot-ton Bowl, K-State’s first-ever New Year’s Day Bowl. Despite a 19-15 loss to No. 5 BYU, the support and respect for the K-State program grew to unprecedented heights. In 1995, Snyder guided K-State to a 10-2 record, including a 5-2 Big Eight mark to tie for second behind national champion Nebraska. Following a 54-21 blitzing of WAC champion Colorado State in the Holiday Bowl, the Wildcats finished the season ranked sixth in the USA Today/CNN coaches’ poll and seventh in the AP poll. Both rankings were the highest ever attained by a Kansas State football team to that point. In 1993, Snyder guided K-State to its first bowl win in school history and, in 1994, the Wildcats cracked the top 10 for the first

time in school history. In 1998, the K-State achieved a No. 1 na-tional ranking in one of the major polls for the first time in the program’s history. Individually, Snyder has produced 54 different All-Americans during his 24 years as head coach, including eight consensus All-Americans: punter Sean Snyder (1992), free safety Jaime Mendez (1993), cornerback Chris Canty (1995 and 1996), place kicker Martin Gramatica (1997), punt returner David Allen (1998), linebacker Mark Simoneau (1999), cornerback Terence Newman (2002) and all-purpose player Tyler Lockett (2014). Newman became the third Wildcat to win a national award when he was voted the 2002 Thorpe Award, given to the top col-legiate defensive back. Gramatica was the 1997 Lou Groza Award winner, the first major award winner in Kansas State history. Bishop became the first K-State player to be named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy (finishing as runner-up) while winning the 1998 Davey O’Brien Award. The foundation for K-State’s turnaround was laid in 1989 during Snyder’s first season in Manhattan. Although the season yielded just a 1-10 record, it became evident to everyone involved in the program that something special was happening. Most im-portant, Snyder instilled a winning attitude and a healthy dose of self-respect and enthusiasm to a program that had been given up for dead. In 1990, K-State was one of just four teams in the country to improve its record by four games with a 5-6 mark, including its first Big Eight Conference wins in four seasons with victories over Oklahoma State and Iowa State. Snyder again beat those two schools in 1991, while adding Kansas and Missouri to the list of his Big Eight victims to finish at 7-4 for K-State’s first winning sea-son since the Independence Bowl season of 1982. Heavy gradua-tion losses on the offensive side of the ball resulted in a 5-6 mark in 1992, but the Cats were still able to hang their hats on their first perfect home season since 1934. Of course, it should come as no surprise that Snyder would be this kind of architect for a building program. At Iowa, he played a key role in the renaissance of a Hawkeye program that went from 17 consecutive losing seasons to eight straight bowls. Snyder was the mind behind Iowa’s potent offensive attack. The Hawkeye of-fense ranked first in passing efficiency and third in passing yard-age nationally in Snyder’s last five years of direction. In his final Iowa season, the Peach Bowl team led the Big Ten, and ranked seventh nationally, with 277 passing yards per game. Snyder also served as quarterback coach at Iowa and helped develop some of the best quarterbacks in NCAA history, including NFL players Chuck Long (second in Heisman voting), Mark Vlasic and Chuck Hartlieb, who wrapped up his career as the first Hawkeye to throw for 3,000 yards in back-to-back seasons. Snyder began his full-time coaching career in 1964 as an as-sistant at Indio High School in California. In 1966 he served as a GA at USC under John McKay before becoming head coach at Indio High in 1967. He accepted the same position at Santa Ana Foothill High School in 1969, where he stayed until 1973. In 1974, Snyder became the offensive coordinator and swim-ming coach at Austin College in Sherman, Texas. He joined the North Texas staff in 1976 and helped author an impressive turn-around with a three-year record of 26-7. Snyder, 76, received his B.A. from William Jewell in 1963. He earned his M.A. from Eastern New Mexico in 1965. As a player, he was a three-year letterwinner as a defensive back at William Jew-ell. Snyder and his wife, Sharon, have two sons – Sean and Ross – and three daughters – Shannon, Meredith and Whitney. They also have eight grandchildren – Sydney, Katherine, Tate, Matthew, Alexis, Gavin, Kadin and Tylin – and one great-grandson, D.J.

SEASON RECAP

GNEVER GAVE UP

Goal No. 10 of head coach Bill Snyder’s 16 Goals for Success is Never Give Up, and perhaps no other team in Snyder’s 24-year Hall of Fame career epitomized that goal better than the 2015 Wild-cats, led by a cast of 18 seniors. Thoughts of a great season transpired from the outset as Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year Morgan Burns returned the season-opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown in the Wildcats’ 34-0 shutout of South Dakota, a game that kickstarted a 3-0 non-conference slate that included a 30-3 win at UTSA and a thrilling 39-33 three-overtime victory over a tough Louisiana Tech squad. A bye week proceeded a tough stretch of games to open Big 12 Conference play, which began at a top-20 team in Oklahoma State. The Wildcats, who led 28-13 at halftime, held a slim one-point lead late in the game before the Cowboys kicked a game-winning field goal with 32 seconds left for the win. The Cowboys went on to win their first 10 games and are playing in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Little did the Wildcats know that game would be the start of a trend, a six-game losing streak by the slightest of margins. The very next week against No. 2 TCU, K-State was up, 35-17, at halftime before a second-half Horned Frog comeback. K-State battled from be-hind to tie the game at 45 with less than two minutes left before TCU scored in less than a minute to win, 52-45, en route to a 10-2 record and a date in the Alamo Bowl against Oregon on Jan. 2. Following a 55-0 shutout loss to Oklahoma – who will compete for a national title as the No. 4 seed in the College Football Playoff – and a 23-9 loss in a downpour at Texas, the Wildcats took another No. 2 team to the brink as Baylor came to Manhattan for a Thursday-night tilt. The Wildcats held the Bears, who were averaging 61.1 points entering the game, to just 31 points as K-State stormed back from a 28-10 deficit to trail by seven with the ball and under two minutes left. However, an interception derailed the thoughts of an upset and ended the game in another close defeat, 31-24. K-State also fought back from a 28-point halftime deficit at Texas Tech to get within one score, but the Wildcats were unable to recover a second onside kick and eventually lost, 59-44. Six straight losses – the most by a Snyder-led team since 1989 when the Wildcats finished 1-10, and many people wrote off the Wildcats. However, none of those people resided inside the new Vanier Family Football Complex, and the 18 seniors made sure no one would throw in the towel.

Sitting at 3-6 and their backs firmly against the wall in terms of postseason aspirations, that determination and never-give-up attitude was put to the ultimate test against Iowa State. The Cy-clones raced out to a 35-14 halftime lead, but a 21-point comeback, which included 10 points in the final 42 seconds, gave the program new life. Holding a seven-point lead with less than two minutes remaining, all Iowa State needed to do was run out the clock. But a forced fumble by Will Geary and

a recovery by Elijah Lee gave K-State another opportunity. The Wild-cats scored a game-tying touchdown in 40 seconds, and overtime looked likely. That was until Marquel Bryant stripped ISU quarter-back Joel Lanning, and the ball was recovered by Charmeachealle Moore, setting up a game-winning 42-yard field goal by Jack Cantele in a 38-35 victory. With new hope, K-State marched into Lawrence and won its seventh-straight Sunflower Showdown, 45-14, thanks to great special teams play by Burns and rushing touchdowns by fullbacks Winston Dimel (2) and Glenn Gronkowski. A Dec. 5, showdown against West Virginia sat between the Wild-cats and a sixth-consecutive bowl berth. A sloppy first half ended with the Mountaineers leading, 13-3, and prospects of the postsea-son looked grim. Going under center early in the second half, Kody Cook quickly connected on a 17-yard pass on a drive that ended with his own one-yard score. On the first play of the Wildcats’ next series, Cook connected with Deante Burton on a 77-yard touchdown – K-State’s longest play from scrimmage in 2015 – to take a 17-13 lead. WVU scored the next 10 points to take a 23-17 lead as the Wild-cats had their backs against the wall yet again. However, just as he did to open the season, Burns ended the regular season emphatically with his fourth kickoff-return touchdown of the year, a 97-yarder that ended up to be the game-winner thanks to the K-State defense hold-ing the Mountaineers on four different drives. What does the final game of the 2015 K-State season have in store? That remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – a team that exuded an extreme amount of confidence toward the end of the season despite a six-game losing streak will undoubtedly show up

on January 2, in Memphis, Tennessee, and will play until the clock hits all zeroes. That’s what this team did all year and will do one more time – they never gave up and won’t start now.

Game Notes• K-State has now started 2-0 for a second-straight season and for the fifth time in the last six years... Each of the previ-ous five times K-State started 2-0, the Wildcats won at least seven games and advanced to a bowl... K-State earned its first double-digit victory in a non-conference road game since a 47-7 win at Northern Illinois on September 6, 1997.

• K-State broke a seven-game losing streak when playing in a domed stadium... The last win in an enclosed stadium prior to Saturday was a 30-25 triumph at Minnesota (Metrodome) on September 19, 1993.

• Kansas State has allowed three points in the first two games of the season, the few-est amount since also allowing three against Western Ken-tucky (3) and Louisiana-Mon-roe (0) in 2002... The K-State defense held UTSA to only 72 yards in the second half.

• The Wildcats took a 7-3 lead into the locker room at halftime as they pushed their nation-leading streak of consecutive games won when leading at the half to 49 games... Since 1990, the Cats have protected a halftime lead in 175 of their last 180 games when leading at the half.

• Joe Hubener made his first-career start, while it was his first start at quarterback since doing so for the junior varsity squad at Cheney High School... He was the first Wildcat to make his first-career start in a non-conference road game since Ell Roberson at USC in 2001 (10-6 W).

• Jack Cantele came off the bench to make 3-of-3 field goals... He has now made 19 career field goals, one shy of tying for 10th in school history.

HUBENER STRONG IN K-STATE’S 30-3 WINSAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Kansas State scored 30 unanswered points behind a solid performance from junior quarterback Joe Hubener, as the Wildcats topped the UTSA Roadrunners, 30-3, before 29,424 fans at the Alamodome. Overcoming a slow start in the first quarter, K-State (2-0) had no trouble moving the ball, posting 418 yards of total offense on its way to a 27-point win. Holding a narrow 7-3 lead at the half, the Wildcats exploded for 23 points and 254 yards of total offense, including 111 on the ground, in the second half. It marked the second-straight game that the Wildcats scored at least 30 points. Hubener finished the day with a career-high 243 yards passing on 12-of-23 attempts to go with a team-high 58 yards rushing and a touchdown. Hubener was one of six players that helped the Wildcats total 175 yards on the ground on 44 attempts and three touchdowns. Redshirt freshmen Winston Dimel and Justin Silmon each recorded touchdowns, as Silmon picked up his first career score to start the fourth quarter. Dimel led all receivers with 80 yards on two catches, including a 53-yard reception in the second quarter, while senior Andre Davis had 73 yards on a team-high four catches. On the defensive side, K-State allowed just three points on 229 total yards to UTSA (0-2), which had 32 points and 525 yards of total offense in its loss to No. 22 Arizona in the season opener. The Wildcats held the Roadrunners to just 37 rushing yards, the second-straight week that the defense has held an opponent to under 100 yards rushing. The three points allowed through the first two games are the fewest since 2002. Junior linebacker Will Davis led the defense with nine tackles on the day, while senior defensive tackle Travis Britz added four tackles of his own, including two sacks. K-State got a strong performance from back-up kicker Jack Cantele, who replaced Matthew McCrane early in the game after he went out with an injury. Cantele went a perfect 3-of-3 on the day, converting from 29, 27, and 21 yards. UTSA would jump on the scoreboard first, as place-kicker Daniel Portillo converted on a 51-yard field goal to cap a 10-play, 45-yard drive on the Roadrunners’ first possession. The teams would trade possessions throughout the first quarter until Hubener scored from one-yard out with 11:34 left in the second quarter. The score capped a 9-play, 88-yard drive by the Wildcats, which was highlighted by Dimel’s 53-yard catch. Leading 7-3 at halftime, K-State responded with an 8-play, 41-yard drive to open the third quarter that was capped by a 29-yard field goal by Cantele at the 10:47 mark that gave the Wildcats a 10-3 lead. All but four yards of the drive came on a 36-yard reception by Davis from Hubener. After forcing a three-and-out, the team added a second Cantele field goal of the quarter – a 27-yarder at the 4:34 mark – to extend the lead to 13-3. The Wildcats pushed their advantage to 20-3 just 10 seconds into the fourth quarter with a 14-yard touchdown run by Silmon, who had 38 of the drive’s 62 yards on five carries. K-State took advantage of terrific field position on its next possession, as the defense stopped the Roadrunners on 4th and 6 from its own 36 with 13:47 left in the fourth quarter. The team drove all the way to the UTSA 2 before a penalty stalled the drive, forcing Cantele’s third field goal of the day – a 21-yarder – to give the Wildcats a 23-3 lead with 10:49 to play. Dimel capped the game off with the team’s third rushing touchdown of the game, punching it in from one yard out for his third score of the year. He finished the game with 98 total yards, including 80 yards receiving. The 10-play, 62-yard drive was highlighted by redshirt freshman Dalvin Warmack’s 22-yard scamper.

Game Notes• K-State started 3-0 for the first time since 2012 and the 17th time in Bill Snyder’s 24 years... Each of the previous 17 times K-State started 3-0 under Snyder, the Wildcats won at least seven games and advanced to a bowl.

• It was the third overtime game in program history and the second-ever at Bill Sny-der Family Stadium... It was K-State’s first overtime game since defeating Texas A&M on Nov. 12, 2011, 53-50, in four overtimes... K-State is 2-1 in overtime games, including a 2-0 record at home.

• K-State went nine quarters to start the season without al-lowing a TD, surrendering its first touchdown with 3:30 left in the second quarter... It was the longest streak to start a season in school history in the post-World War II era (1945).

• Justin Silmon rushed a career-high and game-high 24 times for a career-high 119 yards... It was the fourth-most rushing yards by a freshman in school history, while it was the first 100-yard game by a K-State running back since John Hubert had 220 yards at Kansas in the 2013 regular-season finale.

• Defensive end Jordan Wil-lis carded six tackles, includ-ing 3.5 sacks... His sack total ranks second in school history for a single game, just a half sack shy of tying the school record held by Chris Johnson (4.0) at Missouri in 2000.

• Linebacker Elijah Lee fin-ished the game with a career-high 12 tackles... His previous career best was six in the season opener against South Dakota, while his season high during his freshman year of 2014 was four against UTEP.

K-STATE OUTLASTS LOUISIANA TECH IN 3 OTSMANHATTAN, Kan. -- Junior quarterback Joe Hubener connected on a 31-yard scoring strike to senior wide out Kody Cook in the third overtime to help propel Kansas State past Louisiana Tech, 39-33, on Saturday in front of 53,540 fans at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. It was just the third time Kansas State (3-0) went into overtime in school history, and the second at Bill Snyder Family Stadium after the Wildcats topped Texas A&M in four overtimes in 2011. After Charles Jones’ 2-point conversion failed leaving the score at 39-33, the Bulldogs (1-2, 0-1 C-USA) still had an opportunity to tie or win the game in the third overtime. However, the Wildcat de-fense forced quarterback Jeff Driskel to throw four-straight incomplete passes to preserve the victory. Hubener led the K-State attack on offense in just his second-career start, going 15-of-26 for 195 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winner to Cook. The pivotal play came with the Wildcats backed up to the Louisiana Tech 31 after an illegal block penalty and facing 3rd-and-16. Cook recorded a standout day, catching a career-high four passes for a career-high 73 yards and a career-best two touchdowns, while sophomore linebacker Elijah Lee posted a career-high 12 tackles to go with two sacks and a forced fumble. Junior defense end Jordan Willis added six tackles, along with 3.5 sacks and a fumble recovery. Senior place-kicker Jack Cantele went perfect on the day, hitting from 33, 38, 20, 44 yards to tie his career high of four field goals made in a game. Cantele now has made 23 career field goals, ranking him 10th in school history. K-State opened the scoring as Cantele hit a 33-yard field goal to give the ‘Cats a 3-0 lead with 6:03 remaining in the first quarter. Cantele would extend the lead four minutes into the second quarter, connecting on a 38-yard field goal to make it 6-0 at the 11:06 mark. Louisiana Tech took the lead on the game’s first touchdown on a 1-yard run by Driskel, giving the Bulldogs a 7-6 lead at the 3:30 mark. The Bulldogs would strike again 13 seconds before halftime as kicker Jonathan Barnes hit on the first of four field goals on the day, this one from 25 yards out, to push the lead to 10-6. Driskel’s arm again played a major factor in the drive, accounting for 50 of the 59 yards on the drive. Louisiana Tech extended its lead to 13-6 in the third quarter, as Barnes connected on a 39-yard field goal to cap a 10-play, 38-yard drive at the 5:16 mark. K-State scored its first touchdown of the game with just 17 seconds remaining in the third quarter, as Hubener connected with Cook for a 4-yard score to knot the game at 13-all. Driskel gave the Bull-dogs the lead again at 20-13 with his second rushing touchdown of the game – an 8-yard scamper – just a few minutes into the fourth quarter. Heath jump started the offense later in the quarter by returning a punt 58 yards to the Louisiana Tech 7. Jones would score just two plays later to tie the game up at 20-all with 7:04 to play. K-State then retook the lead with less than three minutes remaining in the game, as Cantele hit on his third field goal of the day – a 21-yarder – to put the Wildcats ahead 23-20, but Barnes hit a game-tying field goal from 45 yards left with no time left on the clock to send the game to overtime.

Game Notes• K-State has now lost five-straight games in Stillwater as the Wildcats’ last win at OSU came in 1999 with an average margin of defeat being four points.

• Kansas State took a 28-20 lead into halftime, seeing a nation-leading 49-game win-ning streak snapped when leading at the half... The last time K-State lost when lead-ing at halftime was a 41-39 setback at Oklahoma State in 2007 (led 21-17 at half).

• The Wildcats were 5-for-5 in the red zone on Saturday with all five scores being touch-downs... K-State only had eight touchdowns in 18 red zone trips over the first three games.

• Senior Kody Cook made his 15th career start at wide receiver, but ended up playing a majority of the game at quar-terback, completing 10-of-16 passes for 122 yards and two touchdown, while rushing 21 times for 87 yards and another score... He became the first Wildcat since 2007 to rush, pass and catch a touchdown in the same season (Leon Patton), while he is the first Wildcat since at least 1988 to throw multiple touchdown passes in a season while also scoring touchdowns via a run and catch.

• Redshirt freshman running back Justin Silmon rushed 15 times for 50 yards and one touchdown... He moved into fourth place in school history in rushing yards among freshmen at 260, passing Darren Sp-roles (210, 2001) and Daniel Sams (235, 2012).

• Sophomore punter Nick Walsh recorded a season-high 47.5-yard average... It was just shy of his career high of 49.2 yards vs. UCLA in 2014.

LATE FIELD GOAL LIFTS OSU PAST K-STATESTILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma State place-kicker Ben Grogan converted on a 37-yard field goal with 32 seconds left, as the Cowboys rallied past Kansas State, 36-34, at Boone Pickens Stadium. After the Wildcats (3-1, 0-1 Big 12) took the lead 34-33 on a 5-yard touchdown run by junior quarterback Joe Hubener with 3:01 to play, the Cowboys (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) drove 45 yards over 10 plays to set up the game-winning score. K-State has now lost five-straight games at Boone Pickens Stadium by an average margin of just four points. The last Wildcat win in Stillwater came in 1999. K-State led 28-13 after redshirt freshman running Justin Silmon’s 6-yard touchdown run with 4:37 left in the second quarter and held a 28-20 edge at halftime. The Cowboys outscored the Wildcats, 16-6, in the second half to snap K-State’s nation-best 49-game winning streak when leading at halftime. The Wildcats’ offense posted 351 yards in the game, the fourth-straight game with at least 300 yards of total offense. The passing attack was led by senior Kody Cook, who replaced Hubener at quarterback midway through the first quarter. Cook went 10-for-16 for 122 yards and two touchdowns, while adding a team-high 87 yard rushing on 21 carries. Cook also became the first Wildcat since 2007 to rush, pass and catch a touchdown pass in the same season and the first since at least 1988 to throw multiple touchdown passes while scoring touchdowns via a run and a catch. Silmon rushed for 50 yards on 15 carries and one score. The effort moved him into fourth place in school history in rushing yards by a freshman with 260 yards. On the defensive end, junior defensive back Donnie Starks posted a career-high 11 tackles in the game, while sophomore defensive back Kaleb Prewett also set a career high with nine tackles of his own. Senior defensive end Marquel Bryant recorded a sack in the game, tying a career high with three sacks this season. Defensive tackle Will Geary also tied a career high with his sack in the game. K-State scored on its opening drive of the game with a 3-yard touchdown scamper by Cook, but Oklahoma State answered with a touchdown of their own on the next possession as quarterback Mason Rudolph connected with wide receiver James Washington for a 32-yard strike. Cook would give the Wildcats a 14-7 lead with a 1:25 left in the first quarter, connecting with Glenn Gronkowski for a 4-yard touchdown pass. The score was Gronkowski’s first of the season and the fifth touchdown of his career. The Cowboys opened the scoring in the second half on a 4-yard touchdown pass from reserve quarterback J.W. Walsh to wideout Jalen McCleskey. However, the Wildcats would block the extra point, preserving a 14-13 lead. K-State then pushed the lead back to eight points just three minutes later as Cook threw his second touchdown pass of the day – a 17-yard completion to Burton to give the Wildcats a 21-13 lead. The ‘Cats would then take advantage of a Cowboy turnover, scoring in one play on a Silmon run from the 6-yard line to give the Wildcats a 28-13 lead with 4:37 remaining in the second quarter. The lead was cut to eight with 46 seconds remaining in the half, as Oklahoma State took the ball 83 yards in 13 plays to set up a Marcel Ateman touchdown reception. Rudolph converted a pass to Ateman on 3rd-and-18 to keep the drive alive. OSU scored the only points of the third quarter, pulling within two points at the 7-minute mark off of a Raymond Taylor 1-yard touchdown run. Brandon Sheperd’s 3-yard touchdown reception gave Oklahoma State its first lead of the game at 33-28 with 6:06 remaining in the game.

Game Notes• K-State scored 35 first-half points, the most since scoring 35 at Texas Tech in 2013... Of the 35 first-half points, 28 came in the second quarter, the most since also scoring 28 in the third quarter against Kansas in 2012.

• K-State extended its scor-ing streak to 234 consecutive games, while the Wildcats have now scored at least two touchdowns in in a game to 56-straight games, the third-longest active streak in the nation.

• A week after going 5-for-5 on touchdowns in the red zone at Oklahoma State, the Wildcats were 6-for-6 in the red zone on Saturday night with six touch-downs... K-State only had eight touchdowns in 18 red zone trips over the first three games.

• Senior quarterback Joe Hubener set career highs in rushing attempts, yards and touchdowns... His 111 yards on the ground were the most by a K-State quarterback since Jake Waters ran for 138 yards at Iowa State in 2004... His four rushing touchdowns tied for third in school history, one shy of the school record.

• Charles Jones recorded his fifth career game with two or more rushing TDs and his first since the 2014 Oklahoma State game... His second-quarter touchdown run spanned 28 yards, which bettered his ca-reer high by 10 yards (18 yards at ISU in 2014).

NO. 2 TCU RALLIES PAST K-STATEMANHATTAN, Kan. -- TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin connected with Josh Doctson for a 55-yard touchdown pass with 1:10 remaining in the game as the Horned Frogs defeated K-State, 52-45, in front of 53,671 fans at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The Wildcats (3-2, 0-2 Big 12) saw most of its offensive production on the ground, rushing for 228 total yards on and scoring six rushing touchdowns. Junior quarterback Joe Hubener led all rushers with 111 yards on the ground and four rushing touchdowns, while Charles Jones added 75 yards and two touchdowns of his own. Junior Deante Burton led all Wildcat receivers with a career-high five catches for a career-high 65 yards. Fellow junior Kyle Klein also added a career-high 57 yards on a career-high four catches. On defense, the Wildcats were led by sophomore Elijah Lee, whose two interceptions were the first of his career. Sean Newlan and Donnie Starks each recorded five solo tackles in the game. TCU (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) wasted no time getting on the board, scoring on its first play from scrimmage as Aaron Green scampered for an 86-yard touchdown run 18 seconds into the game. K-State answered with a touchdown of its own on its first drive with a two-yard touchdown run by Hubener to tie the game at 7-7. Doctson’s 32-yard touchdown reception from Boykin would give the Frogs a 14-7 lead at the 7:46 mark of the first quarter, but Hubener punched in his second score of the night, a 17-yard run, to tie the game up at 14 apiece with 12:51 remaining in the second quarter. The Frogs regained the lead on their next drive as kicker Jaden Oberkrom connected on a 50-yard field goal to push the lead to 17-14, but K-State took its first lead of the game at the 6:56 mark of the second quarter as Jones scored on a career long 28-yard rush to give the Wildcats a 21-17 lead. After the defense forced a Boykin interception, Jones would score his second rushing touchdown of the night to extend the lead to 28-17. Later, a 12-yard TCU punt set up the Wildcats with great field position for a second-straight position and the Wildcats would capitalize, as Hubener rushed for his third touchdown to give the ‘Cats a 35-17 lead. TCU cut into the lead early in the second half as Derrick Kindred returned a Hubener interception 60 yards to push the score to 35-24, and the Frogs would score six minutes later to cut the lead to just four points as Green scored from eight yards out. The Wildcats scored their first points of the second half at the 12:21 mark in the fourth quarter as Hubener scored his fourth touchdown to give the ‘Cats a 42-31, but the back-and-forth game went on as Boykin answered with a touchdown of his own with 7:55 remaining in the game, taking the ball himself for a 14-yard touchdown run. TCU attempted a two-point conversion, but the try was no good, giving K-State a five point lead at 42-37. TCU regained the lead with just over six minutes remaining as Boykin scampered for a 69-yard score. A successful two-point conversion would give the Frogs a 45-42 lead.

K-STATE FALLS TO OKLAHOMAMANHATTAN, Kan. -- Kansas State had no answer for Oklahoma’s offense as the Sooners put up 568 total yards on their way to a 55-0 victory over the Wildcats in front of a sold-out Bill Snyder Family Sta-dium. The loss marked the first time the Wildcats have been shutout at home since the 1991 season. K-State’s offense struggled to get anything going in the game, putting up 110 total yards in the game. Quarterbacks Joe Hubener and Kody Cook went a combined 5-for-22 for 45 yards and three interceptions between the pair. Cook led all K-State rushers with 19 yards on the ground on 11 attempts. Junior Charles Jones led all running backs with 18 yards on five attempts. Overall, the Wildcats tallied 65 yards on the ground. Sophomore defensive back Sean Newlan led K-State with a career-high 14 tackles. Redshirt freshman Sam Sizelove also had a career day, adding a career-high eight tackles, six of which were solo tackles. Sophomore defensive tackle Will Geary also set three new careers with eight tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks in the game. Quarterback Baker Mayfield led the Oklahoma offensive attack with five passing touchdowns on 20-of-27 attempts and 282 yards. Twelve different receivers caught passes led by Dede Westbrook’s five catches for 85 yards. Wide out Sterling Shepard had a pair of touchdown receptions on 83 yards receiving. Running back Joe Mixon had 73 yards on 15 carries to pace a Sooner rushing group that accumulated 232 yards on 30 carries. Oklahoma opened the scoring 64 seconds into the game, taking the ball 75 yards in five plays to take the early 7-0 lead as Mayfield connected with Shepard for a 22-yard touchdown pass. Mayfield was perfect on the drive, completing all four of his passes for 71 yards. The Sooners took advantage of good field position after a Hubener interception as Mixon caught a 10-yard pass from Mayfield to give the Sooners a 14-0 lead with nine minutes left in the first quarter. Mayfield threw his third touchdown pass three minutes into the second quarter, connecting with Shepard on a 28-yard pass to push the lead to 21-0. Oklahoma scored again with 7:29 remaining in the first half as wide receiver Mark Andrews caught a 3-yard pass from Mayfield, capping an 8-play, 58-yard drive to give Oklahoma a 28-0 advantage. Another Hubener interception led to a fifth OU touchdown after the Sooners took the ball 27 yards on five plays to extend their lead to 35-0. The score was Mayfield’s fifth touchdown pass of the half. Defensive back Zack Sanchez returned a Cook pass 38-yards to give the Sooners a 42-0 lead just 22 seconds into the second half. The interception was Sanchez’s second pick of the game. The Sooners tacked on three more points five minutes later as placekicker Austin Seibert con-nected on a field goal – a 20-yarder – to extend the lead to 45-0. A 36-yard pass from Mayfield to Westbrook set up the field goal attempt. Seibert added another field goal, this one from 19-yards, on the Sooners’ next drive to push the lead to 48-0. Oklahoma scored its final touchdown at the 9:44 mark of the fourth quarter, as Mixon scored the only rushing touchdown of the game to give the Sooners a 55-0 lead. The rush capped a 7:42 drive which went for 53 yards on 12 plays.

Game Notes• Saturday’s game between Kansas State and Texas was the 16th meeting between the two teams as the Wildcats now hold a 9-7 advantage, but are just 3-6 in Austin... K-State dropped its fourth-straight game as the Wildcats are now in the midst of their first four-game losing skid since a five-game skid in 2008 and the first under head coach Bill Snyder since losing five-straight in 2005.

• Kansas State has only scored nine total points in its last two games, the fewest in a two-game stretch since 2006 (6 points vs. Louisville, 3 points at Baylor).

• Junior running back Charles Jones rushed 18 times for 122 yards... It was his first-career 100-yard rushing game and thus a new career high... His previous career best was 76 yards against UTEP on Sept. 27, 2014... It was the second time this season a K-State running back eclipsed the 100-yard mark (Justin Silmon, 119 vs. Louisiana Tech) after no running back reached the mark in 2014.

• Senior defensive tackle Travis Britz came away with a career-high nine tackles... He bettered his previous ca-reer high of seven last season against TCU... He also had a career-high 4.0 tackles for loss, the most by a Wildcat in a single game since Ian Camp-bell had 5.0 against Illinois State in 2006.

• Senior cornerback Morgan Burns carded two tackles and a pass breakup... He now has at least one pass breakup in each of his last eight games played dating back to the 2014 season.

K-STATE RALLY FALLS SHORT AT TEXASAUSTIN, Texas -- Kansas State’s rally from an early deficit fell short late in the second half, as Texas posted a 23-9 win on a rainy Saturday in front of 88,283 at DKR Texas-Memorial Stadium. The Wildcats were down 16-0 midway through the second quarter before scoring nine straight points, including a 7-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Joe Hubener to wide receiver Dominque Heath just before halftime, to close the gap. A fourth-quarter touchdown by the Longhorns put the game out of reach. Texas did its damage on the ground, rushing for 274 yards and three touchdowns, as running back Johnathan Gray had 103 yards on 18 carries. Backup quarterback Tyrone Swoopes scored all three of the Longhorns touchdowns on seven carries for 50 yards. Quarterback Jerrod Heard was 10-for-15 on the day for 99 yards. Heard also added 61 yards on the ground on 15 carries. Kansas State doubled its offensive production from last week, putting up 242 total yards, including 135 yards on the ground. Running back Charles Jones led all rushers with ca-reer-high 122 total yards on 18 attempts. It was Jones’ first 100-yard game of his career. Hubener went 10-for-22 on the day for 97 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Backup quar-terback Kody Cook was 1-for-2 in the game for 10 yards. Deante Burton led all Wildcat receivers with 39 yards. Heath added 23 yards on two receptions, including the Wildcats’ only touchdown of the game. On defense, senior defensive end Travis Britz set a new career highs with nine tackles and four tackles for loss. The four tackles for loss are the most by a Wildcat in a single game since 2006. Redshirt freshman Kendall Adams recorded a career-high seven tackles in his first career start. Texas scored on its opening possession of the game, taking the ball 42 yards on 15 plays to set up a 28-yard field goal from Nick Rose to give the Longhorns a 3-0 lead. All 42 yards on the drive came on the ground to set up the field goal. The Longhorns strung together another long drive on their next possession as Swoopes scored from 1-yard out, capping a 13-play, 80-yard drive to extend the lead to 10-0. D’Onta Foreman rushed for 28 yards, including a 15-yard run, to set up the score. Swoopes scored his second touchdown of the day from two yards out on Texas’ third possession, but a failed rush gave the Longhorns a 16-0 lead. The play was highlighted by a 46-yard scamper by Gray, who went for 63 yards on the drive. K-State scored its first points of the game with 32 seconds remaining in the first half as a Hubener connected with Heath on a 7-yard touchdown pass. Despite an unsuccessful two-point conversion, the Wildcats pulled within 10 points of the Longhorns at 16-6 at halftime. The Wildcats pulled even closer in the third quarter, as placekicker Jack Cantele connected on a 36-yard field goal to make the score 16-9. Jones rushed 26 of the drives 44 yards to set up the field goal. Texas scored the only points of the fourth quarter, as Swoopes punched it in from 10 yards out for his third score of the game to seal the victory. Swoopes accounted for all 52 yards on the 3-play drive.

• Junior quarterback Joe Hubener logged career highs in rushes (29) and rushing yards (153)... His 153 yards were the fifth most in school history by a quarterback... It was his second career 100-yard game after a 111-yard effort against TCU, a game in which he had a then-career high 26 carries.

• Junior running back Charles Jones rushed 16 times for 76 yards... Jones has accounted for 281 of his season total 378 rushing yards in his last four games, which featured a 122-yard effort in the last game at Texas... Jones has rushed for 75 or more yards five times in his career, including three times this season... Tonight’s game put Jones’ career rush-ing total at 918 yards, 82 yards shy of becoming the 27th player in school history with 1,000 career rushing yards.

• Redshirt freshman running back Justin Silmon rushed twice times for 28 yards... He moved into second place in school history in rushing yards among freshmen at 311 yards, passing Parrish Fisher (289 yards; 2005) and Roosevelt Duncan (304 yards; 1976).

CATS DROP CLOSE DECISION TO NO. 2 BAYLORMANHATTAN, Kan. -- Kansas State rallied for 14 points in the fourth quarter to pull within a touch-down, but a late interception helped No. 2/2 Baylor hold on for a 31-24 win in front of a sold-out Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The 31 points were the fewest scored by the Bear offense since scoring 27 at West Virginia during the 2014 season. Baylor true freshman quarterback Jarret Stidham led the way for the Bears in his first-career start, going 23-for-33 for 419 yards and three touchdowns. Stidham also added a score on the ground. Wide receiver Corey Coleman recorded 216 receiving yards and two touchdowns. K-State quarterback Joe Hubener led the way for the Wildcats, rushing for a career-high 153 yards on a career-high 29 attempts with two touchdowns. He also added 151 yards through the air, going 12-for-21 with a touchdown pass. Wide-out Kody Cook also had a career night receiving, leading all Wildcat wide receivers with a career-high 71 yards on a career-high six catches. Sophomore Sean Newlan led all Wildcat defenders with nine tackles. Junior linebacker Will Davis recorded his first sack, in the first half, while fellow junior Donnie Starks posted a career-high two pass breakups. Baylor opened the scoring on its opening drive, capping off a seven-play, 81-yard drive in 1:46 with a one-yard touchdown run by Stidham to give the Bears a 7-0 lead. The 1-yard touchdown run was the first score of the true freshman’s career. The Wildcats answered with a touchdown on the next drive as Hubener scored from a yard out to tie the game at 7-7. The drive went for 88 yards on 17 plays and was highlighted by two successful fourth-down conversions to keep the drive alive. It was also the longest drive in terms of time since a 9 minute, 54 second touchdown drive against Washington in the 1999 Holiday Bowl. Stidham threw his first career touchdown pass four plays later, connecting with K.D. Cannon on a 55-yard touchdown pass to extend the lead to 14-7, and the Bears wasted no time after a Hubener interception as Stidham connected with Coleman on an 81-yard touchdown pass at the 7:06 mark of the second quarter.

Game Notes• The kickoff-return touch-down by Morgan Burns was the fifth non-offensive touch-down by K-State in its last four trips to Texas Tech... In 2009, Jeffrey Fitzgerald returned an interception 17 yards for a touchdown... In 2011, Nigel Malone returned an intercep-tion 24 yards for a touchdown and Tyler Lockett returned a kickoff 100 yards to paydirt... In 2013, Ty Zimmerman picked off a pass and returned it 43 yards for a score.

• Senior wide receiver Kyle Klein hauled in six passes for 131 yards, which featured a 35-yard reception... It was a new career high in all three categories... His previous ca-reer highs were four receptions for 57 yards, including a long of 25, against TCU on October 10... It was the first 100-yard receiving game by a Wildcat this season.

• Senior Morgan Burns re-turned seven kickoffs for a school-record 221 yards and one touchdown... He took Texas Tech’s first kickoff 93 yards for a score... His 221 yards broke the school record held by Au-brey Quarles at North Texas in 2010 (197)... It was the most kickoff-return yards in the Big 12 since Texas’ Fozzy Whit-taker had 252 yards against Oklahoma State in 2011... He moved into fifth place in school history in career kickoff-return yards (1,112) after entering the game in ninth place, while he entered the top-10 list for kick-off-return yards for a season as he is now fourth (678).

• Burns’ kickoff-return TD was the second this season and the third of his career... He moved into a tie for second place in school history for a season and into sole possession of third place for a career.

CATS COME UP SHORT IN HIGH-SCORING AFFAIRLUBBOCK, Texas -- Kansas State pulled within one possession late in the fourth quarter, but it was not enough as the Wildcats fell to Texas Tech, 59-44, at Jones AT&T Stadium. The setback extended the Wildcats’ losing streak to six games, the longest since dropping seven straight in 1989. Down 28-7 after one quarter of action, K-State rallied to within 52-44 with 3:38 remaining in the contest behind quarterback Joe Hubener’s three touchdown runs. However, Texas Tech was able to recover the on-side kick before scoring for the final time with 1:02 to play. Hubener had a productive afternoon, throwing for 289 yards on 19-of-40 passing and two touch-downs to go with his three scores on the ground. Running back Charles Jones fell one yard short of a 100-yard day, rushing for 99 yards, as he became the 27th player in school history with 1,000 career rushing yards. Receiver Kyle Klein posted the first 100-yard receiving day for the Wildcats, catching a career-high six passes for a career-high 131 yards. Wide out Dominique Heath’s 6-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter moved him into fourth place in school history in receptions (22) and yards (267) by a freshman. On defense, sophomore defensive back Kaleb Prewett set a career high in tackles with 12, three more than his previous career high set against Oklahoma State on Oct. 3. Fellow sophomore Will Geary recorded his second-career forced fumble and recovered his first fumble of his career. Elijah Lee recorded 11 tackles, including a sack. Texas Tech sophomore quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 33-of-42 passes for three touchdowns and added 14 yards on the ground for one touchdown. Senior running back DeAndre Washington had a career day, rushing for a career-high 248 yards for a career-high three touchdowns. The 658 yards of total offense tallied by the Red Raiders was the most by a Wildcat opponent since 2011. Texas Tech opened the scoring less than three minutes into the game, as Mahomes connected with Justin Stockton for a 17-yard touchdown pass. On the ensuing kickoff, the Wildcats used strong downfield blocking to open up a hole for Morgan Burns, who returned the kick 93 yards for a touchdown to tie the game at 7-7. But Tech fired back with 21-straight points to take a 28-7 lead after the first quarter, the most points allowed in a quarter by the Wildcat defense since 2008, and K-State played catch up for the rest of the game.

LATE RALLY PROPELS K-STATE PAST ISUMANHATTAN, Kan. -- Kansas State scored 10 points, including a game-winning Jack Cantele 42-yard field goal, in the final 42 seconds of the game to cap a 21-point comeback as the Wildcats defeated the Iowa State Cyclones, 38-35, in front of 53,297 fans at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. K-State, which was down 35-14 at halftime, tied the school record for largest comeback victory, the last coming at Missouri on Nov. 6, 2004, after trailing the Tigers 21-0 in the second quarter. The win snapped a six-game losing streak by K-State (4-6, 1-6 Big 12), the school’s longest skid since 1989. Joe Hubener threw for 216 yards on 18-of-31 passing and one touchdown to go with 90 yards on 20 attempts. Junior Charles Jones carried the ball 15 times for 65 yards, including two TDs. Kody Cook led all Wildcat receivers with 68 yards on five catches, while fellow wide-out Dominque Heath caught five passes for 31 yards. On defense, redshirt freshman Kendall Adams recorded a career-high 12 tackles and his first career sack. Linebacker Charmeachealle Moore also added double-digit tackles with 10, as well as a sack. Jordan Willis forced two fumbles during the game, while Will Geary and Marquel Bryanteach forced one as the Wildcats forced four of Iowa State’s eight fumbles. Iowa State (3-8, 3-6 Big 12) opened the scoring as QB Joel Lanning connected with Trever Ryen on a 21-yard touchdown pass, but K-State answered on the next drive with a 4-yard touchdown pass from fullback Glenn Gronkowski to fellow fullback Winston Dimel to tie the game, 7-7. The Cyclones took advantage of good field position after a Wildcat fumble on the 4-yard line, as Lanning scored on a 1-yard rush on 4th-and-goal to push the Cyclone lead to 14-7. Lanning threw his second touchdown of the day on Iowa State’s next possession, hitting Lazard on a 30-yard score, but reigning Big 12 Special Teams Play of the Week honoree Morgan Burns quickly answered as he returned the ensuing kickoff 100 yards to cut the lead to 21-14. The score was Burns’ third return touchdown this year, while he became the first player with two 100-yard returns in a year. Iowa State answered two plays later when tailback Mike Warren broke out for a 76-yard touch-down run to push the lead to 28-14 with 7:34 remaining before halftime, and ISU extended the lead to 35-14 just 29 seconds before halftime as Lanning hooked up with Lazard on a 16-yard scoring strike. K-State opened the second half by marching 67 yards in just over six minutes on 12 plays to set up an 8-yard run by Jones to cut the lead to 35-21 with 8:49 in the third quarter. Hubener threw his first touchdown pass of the day on the Wildcats’ next drive, connecting with Cook on a 7-yard pass to pull within 35-28. As ISU attempted to run out the clock with 1:31 remaining in the contest, the K-State defense came up with a big play as Geary forced Warren to fumble with Elijah Lee recovering at the K-State 45. On the next play, Hubener connected with receiver Andre Davis for 42 yards to put the Wildcats at the Iowa State 13, while Jones tied the game up at 35-all with 42 seconds remaining on his second rushing touchdown of the day from 5 yards out. With just 40 seconds remaining and the game headed to a likely overtime, the defense again came up with a big play as Bryant forced Lanning to fumble which was recovered by Charmeachealle Mooreat the Iowa State 22 with just 10 seconds left on the clock. Two plays later, Cantele connected from 42 yards out for the win.

After forcing a three-and-out on the Jayhawks next possession, redshirt freshman Sam Sizelove blocked a Kansas punt, which was recovered in the end-zone by Morgan Burns to extend the lead to 21-7 with 6:30 left in the first quarter. Junior fullback Glenn Gronkowski scored his first career rushing touchdown from eight yards out to give the Wildcats a 28-7 lead with 1:30 left in the first period. The drive was highlighted by a 29-yard rush by Hubener to set up the score. The Wildcats pushed the lead to 35-7 as Hubener scored on a two-yard rush on 4th-and-goal, capping a 12-play, 54-yard drive. Hubener accounted for 22 of the 54 yards on the drive with 18 of those yards coming on the ground. K-State opened the second half with a 13-play, 59-yard drive that was capped by a 33-yard field goal by place kicker Matthew McCrane to extend the lead to 38-7. Hubener scored his second rushing touchdown of the night – a 22-yard scamper – to give the Wildcats a 45-7 lead with 13:20 remaining in the game. The scoring drive was the Wildcats’ second of the season that spanned over 90 yards, the first coming against Oklahoma State on Oct. 3 when K-State put together a 94-yard drive. Willis threw his second touchdown pass of the game with 3:38 remaining, connecting with Bobby Hartzog on a 26-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 45-14. Willis also had a 21-yard rush on the drive to set up the scoring play.

Game Notes• K-State finished the regu-lar season with a 6-6 mark, qualifying for a bowl game for the sixth-straight season and the 17th under head coach Bill Snyder... They became just the sixth Power 5 team in the 12-game schedule era (2006) – including the first Big 12 team – to stave off bowl elimination in at least three-straight games (2-6 or 3-6 records).

• Junior wide receiver Deante Burton carded 5 catches for a career-high 135 yards and one touchdown... It bettered his previous career high in yards, which was 65 yards earlier this year against TCU... It was the Wildcats’ second 100-yard receiving game this year (Kyle Klein, 131 yards at Texas Tech).

• Three-time Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week Morgan Burns returned three kickoffs for 201 yards, which included a 97-yard touchdown return in the fourth quarter... It was his fourth kickoff-return score of the year and the fifth of his career as he tied both the K-State and Big 12 records... His 201 kickoff re-turn yards today rank second in school history for a game behind his record-setting 221 yards at Texas Tech earlier this season... He now has 1,481 career kickoff-return yards in his career, moving into third place in school history... Burns also blocked a West Virginia punt a week after recovering a blocked punt for a touchdown at Kansas.

• Linebacker Charmeache-alle Moore set career highs in tackles (17), tackles for loss (4.0) and sacks (2.0)... His previous high in tackles was 10 two weeks ago against Iowa State, while his previous best in both TFLs and sacks was 1.0 on three occasions.

SECOND-HALF RALLY HELPS K-STATE EDGE WVUMANHATTAN, Kan. -- K-State rallied from a 13-3 deficit with 21 second-half points en route to post-ing its sixth win of the season in a 24-23 victory over West Virginia before a sold-out crowd at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. With the victory, K-State became the sixth team -- the first from the Big 12 -- in the 12-game schedule era to stave off bowl elimination in three or more games. Senior Morgan Burns’ 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown with 12:53 remaining in the fourth quarter proved to be the difference, as the Wildcats overcame a 13-3 halftime deficit. The return was Burns’ fourth of the season, which tied former Wildcat Brandon Banks (2009) for both the school and Big 12 records. Burns finished with 201 kickoff return yards, which ranks second in school history behind a record 221-yard effort earlier this year. Burns now has five career kickoff returns, which also ties the school and Big 12 history for most in a career. Senior Kody Cook started the game at wide receiver, but moved to quarterback after starter Joe Hubener left the game with an injury. Cook finished the game with 121 yards through the air on 4-of-12 passing and one touchdown, while rushing for 34 yards on 19 attempts and a touchdown. Junior wide receiver Deante Burton led all Wildcat receivers with a career-high 135 yards on five receptions, including a 77-yard touchdown reception from Cook, which is the longest play from scrim-mage this season. Junior linebacker Charmeachealle Moore set career highs in tackles (17), tackles for loss (4.0) and sacks (2.0). Senior safety Nate Jackson tacked on nine tackles of his own, while fellow safety Kendall Adams added six. West Virginia opened the scoring with 2:54 remaining in the first quarter as placekicker Josh Lambert hit a 45-yard field goal to give the Mountaineers a 3-0 lead, but K-State answered with a field goal at the 11:10 mark of the second quarter as kicker Matthew McCrane connected on a 40-yard field goal to cap a 5-play, 25-yard drive and tie the game at 3-3. The Mountaineers scored the game’s first touchdown with 2:36 remaining before halftime as quar-terback Skyler Howard hit Jovon Durante on a 24-yard pass to push the lead to 10-3. Howard was a perfect 2-of-2 passing for 35 yards on the scoring drive. Lambert hit is second field goal of the half – a 19-yarder – to extend the Mountaineer lead to 13-3 as time expired in the second quarter. The drive was highlighted by a 19-yard rush by running back Rushel Shell. The Wildcats took advantage of good field position set up by a 67-yard kick return by Burns as Cook scored from 1-yard out to pull the Wildcats within 13-10 at the 12:28 mark in the third quarter. After the Wildcat defense forced a Mountaineer three-and-out, Cook hit Burton on a 77-yard pass on the first play of the drive to give the Wildcats a 17-13 lead. The pass marked the longest play of the season for the Wildcats. West Virginia retook the lead with 6:28 remaining in the third quarter as Smallwood rushed from 14 yards out to give the Mountaineers a 20-17 lead. The Mountaineers tacked on another field goal to push the lead to 23-17 with 13:07 left to play, but Burns returned the ensuing kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown to give the Wildcats a 24-23 lead with 12:53 left in the game.

Game Notes• Head coach Jim Dickey elected to redshirt eight seniors during the 1981 season and the move paid off in 1982 as the Wildcats were selected to play in their first ever bowl game.

• The bowl bid wasn’t secured until the final game of the season when K-State pounded Colorado, 33-10, to cap a 6-4-1 season and earn an invitation from bowl representatives in the locker room following the win.

• The biggest win of the season came against in-state rival KU when the Wildcats won, 36-7, in the program’s first televised night contest... It was the biggest win over the Jayhawks in 27 years.

• Darrell Ray Dickey attempted 35 passes in the 1982 Indepen-dence Bowl, a mark that still ranks second in K-State bowl history and sixth in a career.

• Punter Scott Fulhage, whose son D.J. would later punt for K-State, punted eight times in the game to rank second in Wildcat bowl history.

K-STATE FALLS IN 1982 INDEPENDENCE BOWLSHREVEPORT, La. -- Wisconsin quarterback Randy Wright tossed two touchdown passes as the Badgers overcame an early Kansas State lead for a hard-earned 14-3 victory over the Wildcats in the seventh annual Independence Bowl. The game, played in cold and wet conditions before an announced crowd of 49,523, marked the first-ever bowl appearance by Kansas State. A 23 mile-per-hour wind dropped temperatures to 10 below zero and kept many fans away. After a scoreless first quarter, K-State took the game’s first lead with 7:10 left in the second period when Steve Willis booted a 29-yard field goal after defensive end Bob Daniels recovered a fumble at the Badger 18-yard line. The Wildcats’ lead was short-lived, however. On Wisconsin’s ensuing drive follow-ing the field goal, the Badgers marched 79 yards in eight plays, scoring a touchdown on a 16-yard pass from Wright to Michael Jones to give UW a 7-3 halftime lead. Wisconsin struck again midway through the third quarter, when game offensive MVP Wright connected with Tim Stracka on an 87-yard touchdown pass for a 14-3 Badger advantage. K-State drove deep into Wisconsin territory on its next two possessions, but was unable to score. One opportunity ended when a Wildcat pass was intercepted in the Badger end zone, while a second was stymied at the Wisconsin 26-yard line, when K-State could not convert on fourth down. Darrell Ray Dickey completed 13 of 35 passes for 127 yards and one interception on the game for 1982 Big Eight Coach of the Year Jim Dickey’s Wildcat squad. The 35 pass attempts stood as a Kansas State bowl record until 2004, when Ell Roberson’s 51 attempts in the 2004 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl vs. Ohio State.

Game Notes• K-State, which was ranked for the first time since 1969 by plac-ing as high as No. 18, finished the 1993 season ranks 20th in the final Associated Press poll.

WILDCATS WIN FIRST-EVER BOWL GAMETUCSON, Ariz. -- It’s probable that not even Bill Snyder could have scripted the events of Dec. 29, 1993, any better as K-State put the finishing touches on one of its finest football seasons in school history with a breathtaking 52-17 total domination of Wyoming. Wyoming took a quick 3-0 lead on a 35-yard field goal, but the rest, as they say, is history. K-State put its high-powered offense into overdrive and scored on its first three possessions. J.J. Smith put K-State on the board with a two-yard TD run as the Wildcats drove 68 yards in just six plays to take a 6-3 lead. Tate Wright added a 22-yard field goal, and on its third possession, K-State drove 76 yards in only eight plays to take a 16-3 lead on Chad May’s two-yard TD plunge. With 1:07 left in the first half, Wyoming punted deep in its own territory. All-American Andre Coleman fielded the ball at his own 32, sidestepped two defenders and then raced untouched down the far sideline for a touchdown to put K-State ahead 24-10 at the half. Coleman and company began the second half right where they left off and quickly broke the Cowboys’ spirit with a 61-yard touchdown catch just 54 seconds into the third quarter. Freshman All-American Kevin Lockett then put K-State ahead 38-10 midway through the third quarter with a 30-yard touchdown reception. Reserve running back Leon Edwards later added a 13-yard touchdown run, and cornerback Kenny McEn-tyre provided the game’s crowning moment with a 37-yard interception return for a touchdown with just over six minutes left in the game. The final numbers were staggering, as the Kansas State offense rolled up 502 yards and averaging 7.5 yards per play.

Game Notes• The bowl game in Hawaii was K-State’s second game away from the continential United States in two years as the Wildcats played Nebraska in Tokyo, Japan, in 1992.

• Joe Gordon’s blocked punt is one of only five blocked kicks in Kansas State’s bowl history, but is the only punt to be blocked by the Wildcats... The block kick led to K-State’s lone score of the game when Chris Sublette recovered the ball in the end zone.

• The seven points scored by K-State were the fewest in its bowl history until the Wildcats only scored three against Syracuse in the 2001 Insight.com Bowl... Ad-ditionally, the 124 yards of total offense are the fewest in K-State bowl history.

• Chad May’s 31 pass attempts are tied for the third most in Wild-cat bowl history.

• May finished his prolific two-year career in the Aloha Bowl, setting numerous school pass-ing records, including single-game passing yardage (489 vs. Nebraska) and second on the school’s career passing yard-age chart behind Lynn Dickey (6,208).

BC WINS DEFENSIVE BATTLE IN ALOHA BOWLHONOLULU, Hawaii -- Kansas State played Boston College to a defensive standoff much of the afternoon at Aloha Stadium, but the Wildcat offense never got on track and fell 12-7 in the 1994 Aloha Bowl. The Eagles sacked K-State quarterback Chad May eight times, including a four-hit effort by end Mike Mamula, who was named the game’s most valuable player. Couple that with a ground game that gained just 30 yards and K-State netted just 124 altogether in finishing 9-3. The Eagles couldn’t distance themselves from the Wildcats despite a 51-yard bolt by David Green on the game’s second play. That carry led to an early 7-0 cushion for the Eagles but would be the only touchdown of the day. K-State’s lone score came with eight seconds left in the first quarter when Joe Gordon crashed the middle of BC’s line and blocked a punt by Jeff Beckley. Chris Sublette recovered the ball on the first hop in the end zone and the game was tied, 7-7. However, BC would answer with its own end zone patrol later in the half when Mamula applied the biggest of his hits on May for a safety with 2:37 left. The Wildcats reached the BC 19 on their ensuing drive, but Eric Shorter inter-cepted a dropped pass in the flat on third-and-15 with 19 seconds left in the half. Still, a defense that featured punter Eric Hardy, Gordon and a pair of 10-tackle performances from Chuck Marlowe and Mario Smith kept the Wildcats within strik-ing distance until the end. BC could only tack on a 35-yard field goal by David Gordon with 1:18 remaining in the second half.

Game Notes• The victory gave Kansas State its first 10-win season since 1910... The victory also put K-State in an exclusive group of only seven Division I-A programs that won at least nine games in three-straight season.

• Kansas State finished the sea-son ranked sixth in the coaches’ poll and seventh in the Associated Press poll.

• Kansas State’s 54 points and 536 total yards in the 1995 Holi-day Bowl remain the school’s bowl records.

• Quarterback Brian Kavanagh came off the bench to replace starter Matt Miller and went on to throw for 242 yards and four touchdowns en route to offensive MVP honors... Kavanagh would later be named to the Holiday Bowl Hall of Fame.

• Defensive MVP honors went to free safety Mario Smith, who had four tackles and intercepted two passes... He is tied for the K-State bowl record and tied for sixth overall in K-State history for single-game interceptions... The two picks also tied a Holiday Bowl record.

KAVANAGH COMES OFF BENCH TO LEAD CATSSAN DIEGO, Calif. -- For the second time in three years, Kansas State ran roughshod over the Western Athletic Conference’s best as the Wildcats outran, outplayed and outscored Colorado State for a 54-21 win in front of more than 51,000 fans at the 1995 Plymouth Holiday Bowl at Jack Murphy Stadium. K-State began the scoring on an Eric Hickson 4-yard run with 11:21 left in the first quarter. After CSU responded with a touchdown to knot the score at 7-7, it was all Kansas State. The Wildcats outscored the Rams, 19-0, in the second quarter by virtue of an interception return by safety Mario Smith and a blocked punt. Brian Kavanagh, who would earn the game’s Offensive MVP award, came in for the injured Matt Miller in the second quarter and immediately put the ball in the end zone. Kavanagh completed 18-of-24 passes for 242 yards and a Holiday Bowl-record tying four touchdowns. The junior signal-caller tossed scoring strikes to Brian Lojka, Tyson Schwieger, Kevin Lockett and Mitch Running. Including Miller’s statistics before he was hurt, the Wildcat quarterbacks com-bined to complete 24 of 32 passes for 324 yards and four touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, Smith earned MVP honors by picking off two passes, registering two passes broken up, making four tackles and generally creating havoc among the Ram receivers. The nation’s top-ranked defense held the potent CSU offense to 301 yards, while forcing four turnovers. Individually, Hickson ran for 103 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries, while catching six passes. Running caught six passes for 126 yards and a TD. Freshman punter James Garcia averaged 45.0 yards on three punts.

Game Notes• Cotton Bowl officials estimated that K-State fans purchased some 40,000-plus tickets, pass-ing the previous record held by Texas Tech in 1995... Tech’s total of 28,232 was surpassed by the Wildcat fans in just a 72-hour period in early December when K-State was tabbed as a participant.

• K-State continued its streak of scoring in every bowl game, dating back to a first-ever appearance in the 1982 Independence Bowl against Wisconsin.

• The 1996 senior class finished with its fourth-consecutive season with at least nine victories and its fourth-straight bowl appearance... The seniors compiled a home record of 21-3-1 and an impres-sive 37-10-1 overall mark, which included a 2-2 bowl record... No other group had put together such an impressive string of bowl ap-pearances, home record and overall record in the 101 years of K-State football.

• K-State fell for the first time when senior quarterback Brian Kavanagh threw at least one touchdown pass, breaking a streak of eight-straight wins.

• Kavanagh’s 72-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Lockett was a ca-reer best for both players and was also a K-State bowl record... It was the seventh-longest TD pass in Cotton Bowl history.

BYU SCORES 14 IN FOURTH FOR COMEBACK WINDALLAS, Texas -- An estimated 45,000 Kansas State fans descended on Dallas to watch the Wildcats in their first-ever New Year’s Day Bowl and were witness to one of the most exciting games of the bowl season. After taking a 15-5 lead following a 72-yard touchdown pass from Brian Kava-nagh to Kevin Lockett, the Wildcats saw why BYU quarterback Steve Sarkisian was considered one of the nation’s best. The Cougar QB tossed two fourth-quarter touchdowns to lead No. 5 BYU to a 19-15 Cotton Bowl victory. Following Sarkisian’s 28-yard scoring strike to Kealaluhi with 3:39 remaining in the game, Kavanagh and Lockett led the Wildcats to a first down at the BYU 12-yard line with around one minute remaining. But, Kavanagh’s pass to Jimmy Dean was picked off at the 3-yard line by Omarr Morgan to preserve BYU’s 14th win. The game’s first score came when Cotton Bowl Defensive MVP Shay Muirbrook tackled Kavanagh in the end zone for a safety in the first quarter. After the free kick, BYU scored again on an Ethan Pochman 39-yard field goal. K-State had a hard time getting on track until the final play of the first half. Kava-nagh heaved a Hail Mary into the end zone, where, after the ball was deflected by a BYU defender, K-State junior Andre Anderson scooped the ball in for a touchdown. Following the PAT that gave K-State a 7-5 lead, a penalty on BYU forced the teams to return from the locker room so that the Wildcats could try for two points. Mike Lawrence made it pay off by scoring to give KSU an 8-5 lead heading into halftime. K-State scored its second touchdown of the game when Lockett bounced off tack-lers following a reception on a short slant pattern and raced 72 yards down the left sideline.

Wildcat quarterback Michael Bishop stole the show by throwing for four touch-downs and completing a career-high 14 passes for a career-best 317 yards. Darnell McDonald was on the receiving end of seven Bishop passes and turned them into a school-record 206 yards in receptions and three touchdowns. His 77-yard reception in the fourth quarter was the longest in Fiesta Bowl history. After allowing Syracuse to jump out to a 3-0 lead on the first of Nate Trout’s three field goals, Bishop led the Wildcats to three consecutive touchdowns in the second quarter. The first came following a failed fake field goal attempt by Syracuse, culminating in a 19-yard pass to McDonald. Bishop followed with a 12-yard TD dash on K-State’s next possession, and wrapped up the first-half scoring with a 28-yard completion to Justin Swift on a tight end screen. Syracuse scored 12 points in the final 2:18 to close within 21-15 at the half. Fol-lowing a scoreless third quarter, Bishop and the Wildcats put away the Orangemen with two big plays in the fourth. McDonald pulled in a long pass along the sidelines, fought off a Syracuse defender and completed a 77-yard TD play, then followed with a 41-yard reception with 3:17 remaining to salt the game away. Bishop, who earned the Offensive Player of the Game award, finished the contest with 390 yards in total offense, including 317 yards passing and 73 yards rushing. Swift caught a career-high five passes for a career-high 98 yards and one touch-down, while Travis Ochs was named Defensive player of the Game.

• K-State did not score in the first quarter for the first time all season.

• The Wildcats suffered consecu-tive losses for the first time since 1994.

• Kansas State and Purdue com-bined for seven interceptions, the most ever in a K-State bowl game.

• Michael Bishop’s 88-yard touchdown pass to Darnell Mc-Donald in the fourth quarter was an Alamo Bowl record... Bishop’s three touchdown passes are tied for third in K-State bowl history, but his four interceptions are a record.

• Darnell McDonald hauled in five receptions for 124 yards and two touchdowns... It was the Wildcats’ fifth 100-yard receiving game in bowl history at the time, while his two touchdowns are tied for the second most.

• Frank Murphy set a K-State bowl record with 107 kickoff-re-turn yards, a mark that still ranks first to this day.

PURDUE DRIVES 80 YARDS FOR LAST-MINUTE WINSAN ANTONIO, Texas -- The unranked Purdue Boilermakers shocked the No. 4 Kan-sas State Wildcats, 37-34, in the sixth annual Builders Square Alamo Bowl. More than 30,000 purple-clad fans cheered the Wildcats on in one of the most exciting bowl game finishes in school history. After a scoreless first quarter, both offenses finally got untracked, exploding for 71 points over the final three periods. Unfortunately for K-State, it was the Boilermakers who were the first to get things going, taking a 17-7 halftime lead courtesy of a pair of Drew Brees touchdown passes and a 25-yard Travis Dorsch field goal. Fumble recoveries in the end zone by both squads and another Dorsch field goal, this time with just four seconds to go in the third quarter had Purdue sporting a 27-13 lead heading into the final stanza. But the Wildcats put together a furious rally over the final 15 minutes. David Allen, who rushed for 83 yards on 13 carries, scored from three yards out to get things going before Michael Bishop found an open Darnell McDonald for an Alamo Bowl record 88-yard touchdown strike that pulled the Cats within a field goal at 30-27. Then, with just 1:24 left in the game, Bishop connected with tight end Justin Swift for a two-yard touchdown and a 34-30 K-State lead, its first and only of the game. Brees then engineered a six-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 24-yard score to Isaac Jones to put the Boilermakers back on top for good at 37-34 with 30 sec-onds remaining. Pinned back on its own two-yard line, K-State saw its hopes dashed when Bishop was intercepted to end the game.

CATS MARCH 92 YARDS IN FOURTH FOR GAME WINNERSAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Kansas State used a stiff defense and three rushing touch-downs by quarterback Jonathan Beasley to defeat Washington, 24-20, in the 1999 Holiday Bowl. Trailing 20-17 late in the third quarter, the Wildcats embarked on a 20-play, 92-yard drive that took 9 minutes, 54 seconds off the clock to score the eventual game-winning touchdown. The drive was set up after senior Lamar Chapman picked off Marques Tuiasosopo. K-State took a 17-13 lead on its first possession of the second half, scoring on an 11-yard touchdown run by Beasley. The Huskies came back with a 73-yard touchdown drive when Maurice Shaw scored on a five-yard run. That score was the first against K-State in the third quarter during the entire season. Beasley completed 15-of-31 passes for 216 yards to go with three rushing touch-downs to earn Offensive MVP honors, while Darren Howard was named Defensive MVP after totaling nine tackles and three sacks. The first half was a back-and-forth affair that saw the Huskies take a 13-10 lead into the locker room. Washington drew first blood when John Anderson booted a 39 yard field goal just 3:32 into the contests. K-State quickly responded as Beasley drove the Cats 47 yards on the ensuing possession, calling his own number from one yard out to cap the eight-play drive. Anderson hit on his second of two first-half field goal attempts to pull Washington with in a point heading into the second quarter. A Jamie Rheem field goal from 41 yards out pushed K-State’s lead to 10-6, but the Huskies would put the half’s final points on the board on a Pat Conniff three-yard touchdown run midway through the period.

The Syracuse defense did a good job in stopping Kansas State’s running offense, which came into the bowl game ranked fifth in the nation. Despite allowing 46 yards on 10 carries to senior Josh Scobey, the Orangemen held K-State to just 33 net rushing yards. Junior Marc Dunn led the Wildcats with 151 yards passing in relief of starter Ell Roberson. Dunn completed 12 of 25 passes and suffered one interception. Roberson was 2-for-15 for 70 yards for the Wildcats, who were sacked five times by Syracuse. Mungro opened the scoring on his 65-yard run midway through the first quarter. Kansas State responded just two minutes later with a 29-yard field goal by fresh-man Joe Rheem. The drive was sparked by a 47-yard pass from Roberson to Aaron Lockett and a 27-yard carry by Scobey. Syracuse took advantage of a fumble deep in Wildcat territory early in the second quarter. Mungro scored from the 1-yard line to convert the turnover, but the extra-point was blocked by Josh Buhl. On the next play from scrimmage, Willie Ford got the first of his two interceptions to set up the Orangemen again. Two plays later, Mungro went over from the 1-yard line again, but Buhl also blocked the extra-point.

Evans’ catch completed a K-State comeback from deficits of 10-0, 20-7 and 27-20 against the Sun Devils. Roberson, voted the Offensive MVP of the game, rushed for 63 yards, including touchdowns of 32, 3 and 1 yards, and passed for 215 yards by completing 11 of 28 throws.

Just 31 seconds earlier, Mike Barth converted on a 39-yard field goal to give ASU its largest lead of the game at 20-7. K-State tied the game at 20-20 early in the fourth quarter when Roberson capped a 16-play, 65-yard drive with a 3-yard score. Arizona State quarterback Andrew Walter, who threw for 293 yards on 28-for-57 passing, found Mike Williams for a 10-yard score to put the Sun Devils back ahead on the next possession. But the Wildcats responded with an 80-yard drive on its next opportunity, setting up Roberson’s 1-yard touchdown dive that tied the game again at 27-27 with 6:41 left. The Wildcat defense forced a Sun Devil punt that Terence Newman returned 27 yards. From there, the Wildcats needed seven plays to cover 59 yards to set up the game-winning touchdown.

COMEBACK FALLS SHORT IN CATS’ FIRST BCS GAMETEMPE, Ariz. -- Kansas State started slowly but finished with a fury in the 33rd An-nual Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. But it wasn’t enough to overcome a 21-point third-quarter deficit as the Wildcats lost a hard fought 35-28 decision to Ohio State in its first ever BCS bowl game at Sun Devil Stadium. Trailing 35-14 heading into the fourth quarter, Ayo Saba scored from three yards out to cap an eight-play, 46-yard drive and closed the game to 14 points. Ell Roberson’s second rushing touchdown with just 2:47 to go pulled K-State within a touchdown, setting up a frantic finish. After recovering the ensuing on-sides kick, the Wildcats were flagged for being offsides, forcing a re-kick. This time the Buckeyes recovered at the K-State 36-yard line. But the Wildcats held and got the ball back with 1:12 to play at their own 10-yard. A 21-yard completion to Davin Dennis, who finished with a career-high seven receptions for 113 yards, moved the ball to the K-State 26. On the next play Roberson connected with Jermaine Moreira for 26 yards to the Ohio State 48 to get Kansas State within striking distance. However, Roberson’s desperation pass from midfield was batted down at the 2, allowing Ohio State to escape with its second straight Fiesta Bowl victory. Roberson completed 20 passes on a career-high 51 attempts for 294 yards. His 51 attempts were the most ever by a Wildcat in a bowl game, surpassing Darrell Dickey’s 34 in the 1982 Independence Bowl. Josh Buhl tied a K-State bowl game record with 13 total tackles, equaling Laird Veatch’s total from the 1993 Copper Bowl and giving him a K-State single-season record of 184.

RUTGERS TOO MUCH IN INAUGURAL TEXAS BOWLHOUSTON, Texas -- Kansas State hung with No. 16 Rutgers for 30 minutes, but the Scarlet Knights scored 20 unanswered points in the second half to hand the Wildcats a 37-10 loss in the inaugural Texas Bowl before 52,210 fans at Reliant Stadium. Rutgers was as good as advertised and kept K-State off balance all night long. Ray Rice, the Texas Bowl MVP, rushed for 170 yards and a touchdown and Tim Brown caught two TD passes, for the Scarlet Knights, who claimed their first bowl victory in 137 seasons of intercollegiate football. Brown’s two TD catches came in the opening period and staked Rutgers to a quick 14-0 lead. K-State answered with a 44-yard field goal by Jeff Snodgrass - his 17th of the season - and a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown by Yamon Figurs that was the longest in K-State bowl history to close the gap to 14-10 midway through the second quarter. But Jeremy Ito connected on a 37-yard field goal to close the half and linebacker Quintero Frierson returned an interception 27 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage of the second half to put Rutgers comfortably ahead 24-10. Rice sprinted 46-yards for his lone touchdown of the game on the Scarlet Knights’ next possession before Ito closed out the scoring with a pair of fourth-quarter field goals to provide the final margin. The Scarlet Knights’ seventh-ranked defense proved to be too much and held Kansas State at bay all game long. The Wildcats mustered just 162 yards of total offense for its second fewest yards in a bowl game. Junior wide receiver Jordy Nelson led the Wildcat receivers, hauling in four recep-tions for 81 yards. On defense, senior linebacker Brandon Archer led all players with nine total tackles to finish his career with 268 stops for the 17th-most in school history.

K-STATE FALLS LATE IN FIRST PINSTRIPE BOWLBRONX, N.Y. -- The first Pinstripe Bowl turned into a home run derby. Delone Carter ran for 198 yards and two touchdowns, Marcus Sales caught three long TD passes and Syracuse got some help from a celebration penalty on Kansas State to beat the Wildcats 36-34 at Yankee Stadium. Adrian Hilburn slipped a tackle and raced to a 30-yard touchdown catch with 1:13 remaining to pull Kansas State within two. Hilburn saluted the crowd behind the visitor’s dugout and was flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct, which pushed the 2-point conversion attempt back to the 17-yard line. Carson Coffman overthrew Aubrey Quarles in the end zone, and when K-State couldn’t come up with the onside kick, Syracuse only had to take a knee to win a bowl game for the first time since 2001. Daniel Thomas ran for three touchdowns for Kansas State, which was making its first bowl appearance since 2006. In a bowl season filled with blowouts so far, the first bowl game in New York in 48 years turned out to be a hit. The teams traded big plays right from the start - Thomas went 51 yards for a score on the second play from scrimmage - and scored touchdowns on the first five second-half possessions. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, sensing field goals would not be enough, called for a fake with about five minutes left in the fourth from the 10, but Syracuse stacked up Ryan Doerr on the run. Carter, who scored two second-half touchdowns, broke free for a 60-yard run on the next play. It set up Ross Krautman’s 40-yard field goal with 3:08 left that made it 36-28. Coffman, who played brilliantly in his last college game, led the Wildcats into Syracuse territory and connected with Hilburn near the sideline about 10 yards down field. After winning a footrace to the end zone, he dropped the ball, did a quick salute and turned to celebrate with his teammates. The flags came flying and the 2-point attempt turned into a desperation play.

Game Notes• Despite the loss, K-State still had a 10-win season for just the ninth time in school history, including the eighth under Bill Snyder... It was the first season with at least 10 wins since 2003.

• The announced attendance was 80,956, the largest for a K-State bowl game... Of that announced attendance, approximately 35,000 were K-State fans, which tied for the fourth most for a bowl game in school history.

• Collin Klein notched his 15th career start under center, going 16-of-30 through the air for 173 yards and a touchdown... He also rushed 24 times for 42 yards and a score... His rushing touchdown gave him 27 this season, which tied the Big 12 (Texas’ Ricky Williams in 1998) and FBS quar-terback (Navy’s Ricky Dobbs in 2009) single-season records... He finished the year with 317 rushing attempts, which were the most in school history... Klein’s rush-ing yardage total in 2011 (1,141) ranked seventh in school history.

• Arthur Brown recorded six tackles, giving him 101 on the year... He was the first Wildcat with a 100-tackle season since Brandon Archer had 106 in 2006.

• Raphael Guidry blocked his fifth kick of 2011, which set a new single-season school record... His five blocked kicks are also the school’s career record... His blocked PAT led to K-State’s first defensive extra point in nearly 10 years.

CATS COME UP SHORT IN COTTON BOWL LOSSARLINGTON, Texas -- Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein tied the Big 12 single-season for rushing touchdowns and the NCAA single season record by a quarterback but the No. 8 Wildcats came up short in the 2012 AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic in a 29-16 loss to No. 6 Arkansas. Kansas State (10-3) was trying to match its school record with 11 victories, but still finished a surprising season in Bill Snyder’s second Wildcat turnaround. K-State won 11 games six times during a seven-year span in Snyder’s first tenure before his three-year retirement, and almost reached that mark again in his third season back. After being held to 15 yards on 12 carries in the first half, Klein finished the open-ing drive of the third quarter with a 6-yard TD run that got the Wildcats to 19-16. That came after Klein had a 15-yard run on the previous play. That matched the Big 12 record for rushing touchdowns held by 1998 Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams of Texas. The only other FBS quarterback with 27 rushing touchdowns in a season was Ricky Dobbs for Navy in 2009. Klein finished with 42 yards on 24 carries, while completing 16 of 30 passes for 173 yards. Arkansas’ Tyler Wilson was 20 of 31 for 216 yards. Jarius Wright had three catches for 88 yards and a 45-yard touchdown. The Cotton Bowl was the only non-BCS game with both teams in the top 10 of the Bowl Championship Series standings -- Arkansas came in sixth, Kansas State eighth. It also is the only bowl featuring the SEC vs. the Big 12, the top two confer-ences in the BCS computer rankings. The Razorbacks didn’t even get a first down until 12 1/2 minutes left in the first half when Dennis Johnson opened a drive with a 28-yard run. That drive ended with the second of Zach Hocker’s three field goals, a 22-yarder. K-State blocked the extra point and Nigel Malone returned it for two points. It was 19-9 at halftime after Klein threw a 3-yard TD pass to Andrew McDonald with 26 seconds left in the first half. That score was set up after Wilson was sacked by Adam Davis and fumbled at the Hogs’ 13.

Game Notes• The announced attendance was 70,242... There were an estimated 40,000 K-State fans in attendance, which ties for the second most in school history... The school record was 45,000 at the 1997 Fiesta Bowl, while there were an estimated 40,000 at the 1997 Cotton Bowl.

• Collin Klein made his 28th and final career start at quarterback, finishing his career with a 22-6 record to tie the school record for wins as a starting QB... Klein finished his career with a school-record 56 rushing touchdowns, while he is one of six players in Big 12 history with 50 or more career rushing scores and one of two quarterbacks to accomplish the feat... He also concluded his school record for career touch-down responsibility at 86.

• Chris Harper hauled in eight catches for 71 yards against his former team... Harper had five or more catches in five of his final seven games... He finished his K-State career with 123 catches to tie for seventh in school history.

• Arthur Brown registered nine tackles... He ended his senior campaign with 100 tackles, be-coming the first Wildcat with 100 or more tackles in consecutive seasons since Josh Buhl in 2002 and 2003.

• Anthony Cantele connected on a 25-yard field goal... It was his 37th career field goal to tie for fourth in school history... Can-tele finished out his career with a school-record 92 consecutive extra points made.

OREGON WINS BATTLE OF TOP-10 TEAMSGLENDALE, Ariz. -- De’Anthony Thomas caught the opening kickoff, raced past Oregon’s sideline and leaned his head into the end zone like a sprinter crossing the finish line. The track meet had started and the fifth-ranked Ducks didn’t look back after that. Triggered by the return, Oregon bolted by No. 7 Kansas State, 35-17. Teams that had that national title aspirations end on the same day, Oregon and Kansas State ended up in the desert for a marquee matchup billed as a battle of styles: The fast-flying Ducks vs. the execution-is-everything Wildcats. Thomas followed his kickoff return with a 23-yard touchdown catch, finishing with 195 total yards. Kenjon Barner ran for 143 yards on 31 carries and scored on a 24-yard touchdown pass from Marcus Mariota in the second quarter. Mariota later scored on a 2-yard run in the third quarter, capped by an obscure 1-point safety that went in the Ducks’ favor. Even Oregon’s defense got into the act, intercepting Collin Klein twice and holding him to 30 yards on 13 carries. Thomas hit the Wildcats (11-2) again late in the first quarter, breaking a couple of tackles and dragging three defenders into the end zone for a catch-and-run TD that put the Ducks up 15-0. Oregon followed a missed 40-yard field goal with a scoring drive late in the second quarter. Moving 77 yards in 46 seconds, the Ducks went up 22-10 at halftime after Mariota hit Barner on 24-yard TD pass. Alejandro Maldonado hit a 33-yard field goal on Oregon’s opening drive of the third quarter and Mariota capped a long drive with a 2-yard TD run. Kansas State’s Javonta Boyd blocked the point-after attempt, but even that went wrong for the Wildcats: Chris Harper was tackled in the end zone for a bizarre 1-point safety that put Oregon up 32-10. Kansas State needed a little time to get its wheels spinning on offense, laboring early before Klein scored on a 6-yard run early in the second quarter. Klein kept the Wildcats moving in the quarter, though not toward touchdowns: Cantele hit a 25-yard field goal. Klein hit John Hubert on a 10-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter, but all that did was cut Oregon’s lead down to 32-17.

Game Notes• K-State claimed its first bowl win since the 2002 Holiday Bowl, snapping an 11-year drought... Of 630 FBS teams in the BCS era to start the season 2-4 or worse, the Wildcats are just the eighth with eight wins.

• The Cats held UM to 14 points, the fewest allowed by K-State in a bowl game since Boston College scored 12 in the 1994 Aloha Bowl.

• Jake Waters threw for 271 yards and three scores on 21-of-27 aim... His 21 comple-tions broke a K-State bowl record, while his 271 yards ranked fourth and his passing touchdowns tied for third.

• Tyler Lockett caught 10 passes for 116 yards and three touch-downs... He broke the K-State bowl record for receptions and tied the school’s single-game and bowl record with three receiving touch-downs... It was the third time this season he hit the three-touchdown mark... He tied the K-State bowl record held by Darnell McDonald in the 1997 Fiesta Bowl.

WILDCATS EARN FIRST BOWL WIN SINCE 2002TEMPE, Ariz. -- Jake Waters threw for 271 yards and connected with Tyler Lockett on three touchdowns, leading Kansas State to its first bowl victory in 11 years, 31-14 over Michigan in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. Kansas State (8-5) scored on its first three possessions, all touchdown passes from Waters to Lockett, and its defense dominated Michigan to end a five-game bowl losing streak. Lockett set a school bowl record with 10 catches for 116 yards and Waters com-pleted 21 of 27 passes, sending the Wildcats to their first bowl victory since the 2002 Holiday Bowl. Michigan freshman Shane Morris was steady in place of injured starter Devin Gardner, leading Michigan (7-6) on two early scoring drives. The Wolverines settled for field goals on both and did little the rest of the way, finishing with 261 total yards. Morris threw for 196 yards on 24-of-38 passing with an interception before lead-ing Michigan on a late scoring drive with the game out of reach. Michigan’s defense also had trouble stopping Kansas State most of the night, giving up 420 total yards. Kansas State finished the season strong after some early difficulties but won five of its final six games while scoring at least 31 points in each contest. K-State set the tone on its opening drive, grinding out 75 yards in 15 plays and 7:51 off the clock. Lockett capped it with a 6-yard touchdown catch after the Wild-cats’ line gave Waters just enough time to get the throw off against Michigan’s blitz. Lockett set up the next drive with a 40-yard kickoff return and capped with a 29-yard touchdown catch. Kansas State raced down the field again on its next drive, setting up Lockett’s third touchdown, an 8-yarder from Waters that put the Wildcats up 21-6 at halftime. Kansas State’s Ian Patterson hit a 22-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, John Hubert scored on a 1-yard run after Morris’ interception and the Wildcats celebrated Bill Snyder’s seventh bowl victory by chasing the 74-year-old coach down the side-line for a water-bucket dump.
