FINAL
They ran off the field to applause but were greeted in the locker room by an angry coach.
Despite his team improving to 3-1 in Big 12 play and defeating Colorado 20-6 on Saturday at Snyder Family Stadium, coach Bill Snyder was very disappointed in the way his team played.
He said the offense played miserably, and if not for a great defensive effort the Wildcats likely would have lost. But K-State came up with a great defensive effort. Aside from Colorado’s opening and ending drives, the Buffaloes were unable to move the ball.
Next up is a trip to Oklahoma. Check back later for a full postgame report.

Fans here in Manhattan are starting to gear up for football, but many of them kicked off their day by watching the K-State men’s basketball team scrimmage.
A decent crowd came out to Bramlage Coliseum early this morning to watch Curtis Kelly lead all Wildcat scorers with 10 points.
The UConn transfer looked very good following missed shots at the basket and showing off his post moves. He came on during the second segment of the scrimmage, where he scored all 10 of his points in a row for the gray team.

Here’s how good Colorado coach Dan Hawkins thinks Tyler Hansen is: He benched his own son to get the sophomore quarterback on the field.
Facing a tough start to the season and badly needing some new life on offense, Hawkins pulled the redshirt off Hansen two weeks ago during a loss at Texas and now he’s starting full time over Cody Hawkins.
The move seems to have paid off. Last week Hansen led the Buffaloes to a victory over Kansas and they now come into Manhattan with first place in the Big 12 North on the line against Kansas State.
It’s safe to say K-State coach Bill Snyder would rather play against the Hawkins father/son combo.

When Jacob Pullen started talking to reporters at Big 12 media days this week, there wasn’t much of a crowd surrounding him.
But as the interview session went on and word spread that he was the best “quote” at the event, the cameras and microphones placed in front of his face multiplied exponentially.
Pullen, a junior guard on the K-State men’s basketball team who along with senior Denis Clemente is one of the Wildcats’ veteran leaders, had plenty to say about the upcoming season.
For your enjoyment, here are some of the highlights in a special Friday edition of “A few minutes with …”

After completely shutting down Texas A&M’s potent offense over the weekend, the Kansas State defense earned all kinds of praise.
On top of allowing zero meaningful points throughout the game, the Wildcats’ defensive line came up with six sacks and their secondary made two interceptions.
Sophomore safety Tysyn Hartman grabbed one of those picks (his fourth of the season) and was fired up after the win. On Tuesday, he talked about that defensive effort and what it’s like to be on top in the Big 12 North.
