K-STATE OPENS SPRINGPRACTICES ON MARCH 30 • Kansas State, which earned its sixth-consecutive bowl trip last season, will look to bounce back from a 6-7 record in 2015 as the Wildcats commence spring practices on Wednesday, March 30.• K-State will conduct 14 practices over a three-week period, which culminates with the annual Purple/White Spring game on Saturday, April 23, at 1:10 p.m., in Bill Snyder Family Stadium.• K-State returns 40 letterwinners and 16 starters from last year’s team, which includes six players that have earned All-Big 12 honors during their career and one Freshman All-Amer-ican in 2015.

BOWL STREAK CONTINUES • In an era of college football where more than 80 teams play in bowl games each year, Kansas State is one of just 24 FBS schools nationally to ride a streak of six-consecutive bowl berths.• Of the 24 teams, four are from the Big 12 as Oklahoma has gone to 17-straight bowls, Oklahoma State made its 10th-con-secutive appearance, while Baylor and K-State have each gone to bowls in each of the last six seasons.• K-State needed a late-season charge in 2015 to keep the streak alive as the Wildcats won their final three regular-sea-son games to finish the year at 6-6. Of those three contests, two – against Iowa State and West Virginia – featured historic fourth-quarter comebacks.

COHESION ON THECOACHING STAFF • For a fourth-straight season, Kansas State will be coached by the same 10 full-time coaches.• K-State is one of only two schools to bring back all 10 coaches for fourth-straight season, joining Northwestern.• The current four-year streak is the Wildcats’ longest since K-State started employing 10 full-time coaches in 1983.• The coaching staff has a combined 253 years of collegiate or professional football coaching experience, including 34 com-bined years of head coaching experience.

YOUTH MOVEMENT• A total of 13 players made their fi rst-career starts in 2015, including a combined 11 freshmen or sophomores.• Of the 11 underclassmen to make starts last year, eight were freshmen as fullback Winston Dimel and center Dalton Risner started all 13 games in addition to four starts by Dom-inique Heath, three by Dayton Valentine and one by Zach Reuter in the 2016 AutoZone Liberty Bowl.• Defensively, redshirt freshman safety Kendall Adams made fi ve starts, while true freshman cornerback Duke Shelley started the fi nal eight regular-season games.• Redshirt or true freshmen combined to make 47 total starts in 2015, which tied for the most under Hall of Fame head coach Bill Snyder with the 1989 team, Snyder’s fi rst year in Man-hattan.• Additionally, a total of 28 freshmen or sophomores saw play-ing time during the 2015 campaign.

YOUNG GUNS • Along those same lines, K-State has six players in camp this spring that have come directly from the high school ranks.• The six true freshmen on this year’s spring roster are the most since the 2013 squad prepped with 10.• The group features three players that were members of the 2015 signing class that deferred their enrollment – linebacker Kyle Ball, running back Tyler Burns and tight end Brett Bell – while two players – wide receiver Corey Sutton and quar-terback Skylar Thompson – each graduated high school in December and enrolled at K-State in January.

HOTTEST TICKET IN TOWN • Attendance at K-State games has been at an all-time high over the last three years as K-State has recorded 27 consec-utive 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 in 2014 and 53,100 last season.• K-State has fi nished second nationally in each of the last three years 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 averaging 52,572 fans during its current sellout streak.

SNYDER: HALL OF FAMER • The architect of the “greatest turnaround in the history of college football,” K-State head coach Bill Snyder was inducted into the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame last December.• Snyder is just the fourth person in the history of college foot-ball to be inducted into the Hall of Fame as an active coach.• He is a five-time national coach of the year honoree and seven-time conference coach of the year recipient.• Snyder has compiled an amazing 193-101-1 record in his 24 years as the helm of the Wildcat program. He ranks 29th all-time in victories among FBS coaches and continues to climb the ladder with each win.

SNYDER IN ELITE COMPANY • Head coach Bill Snyder currently has 193 career victories, 154 more than any other coach in school history.• Snyder ranks fi rst in the FBS in wins among active coaches at their current schools, second in total victories among active coaches overall 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]).

TEAM LEADERS • Kansas State announced its 12 player representatives for the 2016 season in late March as Dante Barnett, Deante Burton, Jesse Ertz, Joe Hubener, Charles Jones, Elijah Lee, Matthew McCrane, Dalton Risner, Trent Tanking, Dayton Valentine, Nick Walsh and Jordan Willis were chosen by their teammates.• Barnett, a senior defensive back who was granted a medical hardship for a season-ending injury in the first game of 2015, was chosen for a third-straight season. Hubener, McCrane and Willis are each serving their second terms.

SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS• Kansas State is in rare company in college football as the Wildcats rank in the top 20 in wins among FBS programs over the last 21 seasons.• Since 1995, K-State has picked up 174 victories, which is tied for 19th in the nation with Auburn and Tennessee.• The Cats are only one win away from a tie for 17th and five victories away from the top 15.• Among current Big 12 teams, only Oklahoma (6th; 196), Texas (11th; 191) and TCU (15th; 179) rank higher.• Additionally, K-State is currently sitting on 99 conference wins since the formation of the Big 12, needing just one more victory to become the third program (Oklahoma and Texas) to hit the century mark in terms of Big 12 wins.

REPEAT PERFORMANCES • K-State has usually had success coming off bowl seasons. The Wildcats had played in 18 bowl games in program history prior to 2015, and K-State has followed a bowl season with another bowl berth 15 times, each coming under head coach Bill Snyder.• The only three times K-State did not follow up a bowl berth with another one occurred in 1983 (3-8) after the Independence Bowl, in 2004 after the Fiesta Bowl (4-7) and in 2007 (5-7) after the Texas Bowl.• K-State will be looking to make its seventh-straight bowl appearance in 2016 for the first time since the end of an 11-year bowl stretch in 2003.

COMEBACK KIDS• Although K-State saw its 49-game winning streak when leading at halftime come to an end, K-State had its best season in over a decade in terms of victories when trailing at halftime as the Wildcats won three of those games in 2015.• 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 previous three years combined, while it was the most come-from-be-hind victories in one season since 1999. That year, 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 has been the least penalized team in the Big 12 each of the last three seasons, while the Wildcats have ranked fi rst or second in each of the last six seasons.• With a young team in 2015, penalties were more frequent early in the year but the Wildcats cleaned up down the stretch.• K-State fi nished the season ranked ninth nationally with 38.85 penalty yards per game, a fi gure that sat at 61.0 yards per game after the fi rst four contests of the season.

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 fi nal sev-en games of the 2016 season.• The Wildcats fi nished the year ranked fi rst in the Big 12 and second nationally by converting on 94.5-perecent (52-of-55) on their red-zone attempts, which included 35 touchdowns.• Over the second half of the regular season, K-State was per-fect on its 21 attempts into the red zone with 16 touchdowns.• Since the 2011 season, the Wildcats have scored 264 times in 297 trips (.889) to the red zone. Of those 264 scores, 196 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 touchdowns, while four of their non-scoring trips have come via kneel downs to close out victories.

RETURNING RUSHING• With young playmakers on offense in 2015, Kansas State is in line to return 90.1-percent (1,854 of 2,057) of its positive rushing yardage (not counting negative team rushes).• This year’s percentage is the highest since the 2012 squad returned 98.5-percent (2,420 of 2,456) of its positive rushing yardage.• The Wildcats had not been above 51-percent in that depart-ment over the previous three seasons, returning 50.4-percent in 2013, 50.2-percent in 2014 and just 46.8-percent in 2015.• This year’s percentage is dominated by three different play-ers in Charles Jones (33.8-percent; 696 yards), Joe Hubener (29.8-perecent; 613 yards) and Justin Silmon (17.3-percent; 355 yards).

BEHIND ENEMY LINES• The Cats recorded at least seven tackles for loss in seven games last season, including each of the fi nal three regu-lar-season games.• The seven games with seven-plus TFLs were 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 con-secutive games since 2012 (Miami and North Texas).• The Cats fi nished the season year with 72.0 TFLs, their fourth-straight season with 70 or more TFLs.• The current four-year streak with 70 or more TFLs is the longest by the Wildcats since 1996-2003 (eight years).

SACK MASTERS• Kansas State had one of its better seasons in terms of sacks in 2015, recording 38 to rank third in the Big 12, tie for ninth the in the nation and tie for eighth in school history.• K-State, which had at least four sacks in each of its fi nal three regular-season games and fi ve times overall, fi nished in the top 10 nationally in sacks for the fi rst time since 2006.• Last year’s sack total was the highest since that 2006 squad carded 40 to tie for fi fth in school history and sixth nationally.

CATS TOPS INNON-OFFENSIVE TDS • 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 special teams and 19-1 when scoring on special teams and defense, including a 17-0 mark under Bill Snyder.• The Cats have had at least fi ve non-offensive TDs in four of the last fi ve years and in 15 of the 17 seasons since 1999.• Morgan Burns had all fi ve of the Wildcats’ non-offensive touchdowns in 2015. He opened the 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 at Kansas.

SCORING IN THE THIRD PHASE • Kansas State has been far and away the best team among FBS 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-return touchdowns since 2005, 12 more than any other FBS school over the last 11 seasons. Oklahoma State is second on the list with 28 combined kickoff- and punt-return touchdowns.• K-State has been fairly consistent between kickoff and punt returns with 21 and 19 touchdowns, respectively, during the current stretch.

DEFENSE IN THE THIRD PHASE • On the fl ip side, K-State has been just as consistent in terms of kickoff and punt coverage.• The Wildcats have not allowed a kickoff-return touchdown in the last 37 games as the last time an opponent took a kickoff back for a score was against Louisiana on Sept. 7, 2013.• Similarly, the Wildcats haven’t allowed a punt-return score since the second game of 2014 – Sept. 6 at Iowa State – which is a span of 24 games.

KICKOFF-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 seasons, while Northern Illinois and Florida are tied for third with fi ve apiece.• Morgan Burns had all four kickoff-return touchdowns for the Wildcats in 2015, 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.

JONES’ SOLID SECOND HALF • Kansas State is hoping that Charles Jones can replicate the second half of 2015 throughout his entire senior year. Over the fi nal six regular-season games last season, Jones averaged 79.3 yards compared to a 30-yard average in the fi rst half of the year.• Jones’ second half was jump-started at Texas when he re-corded a career-best 122 yards on 18 attempts, 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).• Jones narrowly missed another 100-yard effort two games later at Texas Tech, fi nishing with 99 yards.• Of his six career games with 75-plus rushing yards, four came in 2015, while he hit the mark in three of the fi nal four regular-season contests.• During the game at Texas Tech, Jones became the 27th player in school history to hit the 1,000-yard mark in a career. He now has 1,236 career rushing yards to rank 21st in school history.

DIMEL BECOMESOFFENSIVE THREAT • Winston Dimel, a First Team All-Big 12 selection by the league’s coaches, became a dangerous offensive weapon as a redshirt freshman.• Dimel accounted for nearly 20 percent (8-of-43) of K-State’s offensive touchdowns in 2015 thanks to six rushing touch-downs and a pair of touchdown receptions.• The fi rst Wildcat freshman to ever earn First Team All-Big 12 honors and the lone freshman on this year’s team, Dimel ranked fi fth in school history among freshmen with 48 points.•In the passing game, Dimel averaged 32.6 yards on eight receptions, the highest average among all players in school history with eight or more catches.• Six of his eight catches went for 27 or more yards, highlight-ed by a career long 80-yard reception at UTSA and a 48-yard touchdown against Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl.

YOUNG OFFENSIVE WEAPONS• In addition to Winston Dimel, running back Justin Silmon and wide receiver Dominique Heath are two more of the many freshmen that contributed last season and got a year of expe-rience under their belts.• Silmon fi nished the season with 355 rushing yards in 2015, which ranked second 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 fi nished second on the team in catches (28) and touchdown receptions (3), while he was third in yards (313).• He fi nished his rookie campaign ranked third in school histo-ry in catches, yards and touchdowns by a freshman.

BARNETT READY TO LEADDEFENSE AGAIN• A year after seeing his season end with an injury in the first half of the season opener, safety Dante Barnett received a medical hardship and is back for his second senior year.• Despite only playing in one game last season, Barnett still has started a Wildcat defensive-best 29 career games, includ-ing a 27-game stretch that came to an end last season.• By starting every game in 2013 and 2014, Barnett became the first K-State safety in over 10 years to start every game over a two-year period.• Barnett also leads all K-State defenders with 181 career tackles as he is 69 stops away from becoming the 27th player in school history with 250 career tackles.• The 2014 Second Team All-Big 12 performer also has seven career interceptions, just three shy of entering the school’s top-10 list.

WILLIS THE SACK ARTIST• Defensive end Jordan Willis was snubbed from All-Big 12 consideration even though he played like an all-conference player during his junior year.• Willis finished second in the Big 12 and 24th nationally with 9.5 sacks, which was just a half sack shy of the school’s top-10 list for a season. His total featured 3.5 sacks against Loui-siana Tech, the second most by a Wildcat in school history and the K-State record in Bill Snyder Family Stadium.• A senior in 2016, Willis will look to enter the school’s career top-10 list for sacks as he has 14.5 in his three years, just 3.0 shy of a tie for 10th.• Willis was also disruptive in other areas as he forced four fumbles a year ago, which ranked 13th nationally and tied for first in the Big 12.

McCRANE MAKES IMPACT IN SHORT SEASON • Despite playing in only five games during his sophomore season of 2015, place kicker Matthew McCrane still left an impression as he earned Honorable Mention All-Big 12 honors by connecting on all seven field-goal attempts and all 15 ex-tra-point attempts.• McCrane teamed with Jack Cantele (First Team) to give K-State just the second set of kickers in conference history to both earn all-league accolades (2001 Colorado).• The Brownwood, Texas, product has made 25-of-26 (96.2-percent) of his career field goals, putting him atop the K-State career record for field-goal percentage and ranks him first among active kickers in percentage.• McCrane is first in both areas by a reasonably wide margin, holding nearly a 5-percent edge over Oregon’s Aidan Schnei-der in the national category and a 16.6-percent advantage over Jamie Rheem (1996-97, 1999-2000) in K-State’s career category.• Additionally, McCrane needs to make his first field goal in 2016 to tie the Kansas State career record for consecutive field goals made, while he is three field goals shy of entering the school’s career top-10 list.

WALSH READY TO TAKEANOTHER STEP • Nick Walsh has established himself as one of the top punt-ers in the Big 12 and will use his last two seasons of eligibility trying to prove he is the best in the league.• As a sophomore, the former walk-on earned Honorable Mention All-Big 12 accolades from the league’s coaches after ranking third in the conference with a 41.6-yard average.• Walsh, who had 15 punts land inside the opponent’s 20-yard line and booted 10 punts of 50 or more yards, now ranks sixth in school history with a 41.48-yard average in his career.

HEAD COACH BILL SNYDER

PPrecise. 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 under Snyder, K-State has to-taled 57 victories – an average of 8.1 wins per year – advanced to six-straight bowl games, won a conference championship in 2012 and finished 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 person all-time to be elected to 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 enshrined in the hall in December 2015. Snyder’s squad was put to the ultimate test in 2015 as virtually everyone outside of the new Vanier Family Football Complex had concluded the season to be a failure in the middle of November. The difficulty of withstanding a large personnel turnover from the previous season was compounded by injuries at multiple positions early in the season, namely at quarterback and in the secondary. Following yet another rally that fell short at Texas Tech, the Wildcats were reeling, standing a 3-6 and suffering through a six-game losing streak. With their backs firmly against the wall, the Wildcats trailed to Iowa State, 35-14, at halftime and saw a five-year bowl streak slipping away. However, Snyder’s resilient group fought

back and scored 10 points over the final 42 seconds of the contest to earn a 38-35 win and kick start a stretch of three-straight wins to end the season and become bowl eligible for a sixth-straight campaign. Following the win against Iowa State, K-State routed its in-state rival, Kansas, for seventh-straight season and made another fourth-quarter comeback, this time against West Vir-ginia, for a 24-23 win to earn another bowl berth. The in-sea-son turnaround in 2015 was one of the best in school history, rivaled only by Snyder’s 2002 and 2013 squads. With the feat, K-State became just the sixth Power 5 team in the 12-game schedule era (2006) to stave off bowl elimination in at least three-straight games (2-6 or 3-6 record). Additionally, the Wildcats became just the third team since 1980 (joining 2011 Illinois and 2015 Indiana) to have a six-game losing streak yet finish the season with bowl eligibility. Throughout his entire coaching career, Snyder has empha-sized an importance in special teams, and it was the specialty units that spearheaded the in-season turn around in 2015 as kick returner Morgan Burns was named the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year and an All-American by numerous outlets. In all, 10 Wildcats earned All-Big 12 honors, led by first teamers Burns, offensive lineman Cody Whitehair, place kicker Jack Cantele and fullback Winston Dimel. 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 campaign that culminated with a berth in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

BILL SNYDERHEAD COACH

25th 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

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 All-Big 12 honors in 2012, including Klein (Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year), Arthur Brown (Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year) and Meshak Wil-liams (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 improve 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. The 2014 Wildcats collected their 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. Fin-ney 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. In 2011, Snyder’s Wildcats jumped out to a 7-0 start – the best in 12 years – which included big wins at Miami, against 15th-ranked Baylor and at Texas Tech. Following a two-game skid to a pair of nationally-ranked teams, the Wildcats 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 na-tional 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 Defensive 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 program, 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 offense than any other school with four. Thomas, the Big 12 Newcomer 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 193-101-1 (.656) record during his tenure with the Wildcats, including a 111-77-1 (.590) mark in Big 8/12 games. His 193 victories are nearly five times the man in second place on K-State’s all-time coaching victories list and rank 29th in FBS history, including a No. 1 ranking among active coaches at their current schools. Additionally, he will become the 14th person in FBS history to be a head coach for at least 25 years at one school and never coach at another, while he is seven victories shy of becoming the 16th coach ever with 200 FBS victories.

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 Wild-cats. Kansas 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 24 years at Kansas State has not gone unnoticed. He has been named the National Coach of the Year on five occasions (1991, 1994, 1998, 2011 and 2012). He has been a finalist for the prestigious Bear Bry-ant/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 Devaney 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 Wild-cats 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 24 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 regu-lar 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 Roberson precipitated a three-game slide that threatened to wipe out a promising season. The three losses all but erased K-State from the national consciousness, 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 constantly 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 As-sociated 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 re-turned 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 strug-gled through a 4-7 rebuilding campaign. The 2002 season was one of the best in Kansas State his-tory, witnessed by the Wildcats’ five-victory turnaround from the previous year’s 6-6 team to a win in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl and an 11-2 overall record.

“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

In addition, the 2002 Wildcats set or tied 45 school records, including tying the mark for wins in a season. Snyder’s Wildcats finished the season with six consecutive victories, including the biggest wins in the history of the series in each of a three-week span against Kansas, 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 turn-arounds in school history. Despite losing four straight in the middle of the year and facing the fourth-toughest schedule in the nation, the Wildcats 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 atten-tion 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 22 seasons. The Wildcats 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 Division 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 consecu-tive 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 season 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 Walter Camp Foundation, the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation, 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-re-cord 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 Con-ference 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 Cotton 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 Colo-rado 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 national ranking in one of the major polls for the first time in the program’s history. Individually, Snyder has produced 55 different All-Ameri-cans during his 24 years as head coach, including eight con-sensus 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), cor-nerback 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 collegiate 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 sea-son yielded just a 1-10 record, it became evident to everyone involved in the program that something special was happen-ing. Most important, 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 victo-ries 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 season since the Independence Bowl season of 1982. Heavy graduation 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 offense ranked first in passing efficiency and third in passing yardage 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 quarter-backs 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 assistant 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 swimming coach at Austin College in Sherman, Texas. He joined the North Texas staff in 1976 and helped author an impressive turnaround with a three-year record of 26-7. During his three-year hiatus, Snyder remained involved with the university and is currently a member of several halls of fame that are listed below. The long-time mentor also involved in many organizations, including:

• Chairman of the Kansas Mentors Council and the Kansas Leadership Council• Board of Directors for Kansas Leadership Center• Board of Directors of Prairiefire Museum of Natural History• Board of Trustees for the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame• Terry C. Johnson Cancer Research Center Advisory Council• Manhattan Community Foundation Board of Trustees• KSU Foundation Board of Trustees• Honorary Co-Chairman of the Kansas Masonic Partnership for Life Snyder was awarded the 2015 Excellence in Mentoring Award by MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership in recognition of his longstanding commitment to meeting the mentoring needs of young people in Kansas. 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 Jewell. 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.

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 na-tion-leading streak of consec-utive 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 Wild-cat 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 Mc-Crane 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.

PAT Kicks 3-3 3-3

Field Goals 4-5 4-4

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 allowing 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 regu-lar-season finale.

• Defensive end Jordan Willis carded six tackles, including 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 finished 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 defense 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 Bulldogs 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.

PAT Kicks 4-4 3-4

Field Goals 0-1 1-1

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 na-tion-leading 49-game winning streak snapped when leading at the half... The last time K-State lost when leading 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 Spro-les (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 quar-terback 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 quar-terback 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.

NO. 2 TCU RALLIES PAST K-STATEMANHATTAN, Kan. -- TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin connected with Josh Doctson for a 55-yard touch-down 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. Place-kicker Jack Cantele tied the game at 45-45 with 1:47 remaining after he connected on a 37-yard field goal. However, TCU answered two plays later to seal the game as Boykin connected with Doctson on a 55-yard pass to give the Frogs a 52-45 lead with 1:10 left in the game.

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.

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.

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 connected on a field goal – a 20-yarder – to extend the lead to 45-0.

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.

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.

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 touchdowns 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.

Game Notes• K-State has now won each of the last eight games and 22 of the last 26 meetings dating back to 1990... It was also Bill Snyder’s 20th win in 24 tries against Iowa State, the most wins by a current FBS head coach over one opponent.

• The 21-point deficit over-come by the Wildcats ties for the biggest comeback in school history, a feat accomplished three other times... The last time a Wildcat team overcame a 21-point deficit was at Mis-souri on Nov. 6, 2004.

• The reigning Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week, senior Morgan Burns returned four kickoffs for 168 yards and one touchdown on a 100-yard return... It was his third return touchdown this year to rank second place in school history, while he now has four in his career to tie for second... It was the first time in school history a player recorded a pair of 100-yard returns in one season... It was also the first time since Tyler Lockett in 2011 (Texas Tech and Kansas) a Wildcat returned a kickoff for a touch-down in consecutive games.

• Junior fullback Glenn Gron-kowski threw a four-yard touchdown pass to Winston Dimel in the first quarter... It was the Wildcats’ first TD pass by a non-quarterback since Daniel Thomas threw a 67-yard pass to Aubrey Quarles at Baylor in 2010.

• Running back Charles Jones rushed 15 times for 65 yards and two touchdowns... Jones has accounted for 455 of his season total 542 rushing yards in his last six games (83.9 per-cent of season total).

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 catchesm, while fellout 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 Bryant each 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 touchdown 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 Moore at the Iowa State 22 with just 10 seconds left on the clock. Two plays later, Cantele connected from 42 yards out for the win.

Game Notes• K-State finished the regular season with a 6-6 mark, qual-ifying 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-re-turn 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 Charmeachealle 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 posting 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 sched-ule 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 re-ceptions, including a 77-yard touchdown reception from Cook, which is the longest play from scrimmage 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• The 57th AutoZone Lib-erty Bowl was the 19th bowl appearance in Kansas State history and the 17th under Hall of Fame head coach Bill Sny-der... The Wildcats are now 7-12 all-time in bowl games and 7-10 under Snyder.

• K-State failed to reach seven wins for the first time since the 2009 season (6-6) and just the seventh time in Bill Snyder’s 24 years as head coach... It was K-State’s first sub-.500 season since going 5-7 in 2008 and the first under Snyder since a 5-6 campaign in 2005.

• K-State had a total of 47 starts by true or redshirt fresh-men this year, the most in Bill Snyder’s 24 years at K-State.

• Linebacker Elijah Lee carded five tackles in addition to making his third interception of the season... It is the most interceptions in a season by a K-State linebacker since Bryan Hickman also had three in 2002.

• The 2015 Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year and First Team All-America kick re-turner Morgan Burns returned three kickoffs for 91 yards... He finished the season with 1,138 kickoff-return yards to break the school record and finish third in Big 12 history... He also helped the Wildcats finish fourth in school history in team total kickoff return yards with 1,268 this season.

• Sophomore Matthew Mc-Crane connected on 3-of-3 field goals from distances of 36, 21 and 32 yards... His three field goals made set a school bowl record, resetting his own bowl record from last year... With his connections, K-State made 19 field goals this sea-son, which is tied for the fourth most in school history.

ARKANSAS RUNS PAST K-STATE IN LIBERTY BOWLMEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Alex Collins ran for 185 yards and three touchdowns and Arkansas capped its late-season surge with a 45-23 victory over Kansas State in the Liberty Bowl. Ranked 18th to open the season, Arkansas stumbled through a 1-3 start that knocked the Razorbacks out of the top 25. The Razorbacks (8-5) turned things around won six of their last seven games. Collins overwhelmed Kansas State’s defense in front of a sellout crowd of 61,136, the fourth-largest crowd in the game’s 57-year history. Kansas State (6-7) finished a season below .500 for the first time since Bill Snyder began his second stint as coach in 2009. Arkansas’ Brandon Allen was 20-of-26 for 315 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Kansas State’s Kody Cook, starting at quarterback for the first time, went 12-of-24 for 163 yards with a touchdown. The game pitted two friends and former colleagues against each other. Arkansas coach Bret Bielema worked as an assistant coach on Snyder’s Kansas State staff from 2002-03. When Arkansas was strug-gling early this season, Bielema even sought Snyder for advice. Snyder added some intrigue to this game by making a quarterback switch. Cook had been Kansas State’s second-leading receiver during the regular season while also backing up quarterback Joe Hubener. Cook took the first snaps for Kansas State on Saturday and remained the quarterback until the game was out of reach. He played well enough to keep Kansas State relatively close. But he couldn’t do anything about the defense’s inability to slow down Collins, who was largely responsible for helping Arkansas reach the end zone on three straight first-half drives. Collins had touchdown runs of 22 yards and 13 yards in the first 17 minutes. He also had a 68-yard burst on his first kickoff return of the season, which set up Jared Cornelius’ 13-yard touchdown on an end around. Kansas State trailed 31-23 late in the third quarter and appeared ready to make a stop when Arkan-sas knocked out the Wildcats with a one-two punch. Facing third-and-13, Allen found All-America tight end Hunter Henry down the left sideline for a 43-yard completion. On the next play, Collins spun away from a couple of defenders, eluded the grasp of a third and dragged a couple more into the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown to essentially put the game out of reach.
