FINAL
The Kansas State football team has made a name for itself this season by making its opponents pay for their mistakes while limiting its own.
On Saturday at Snyder Family Stadium, the Wildcats were beaten at their own game and lost to Missouri 38-12.
K-State committed three turnovers, never got its running game going and could do nothing to stop Mizzou’s high-powered passing game.
Tigers quarterback Blaine Gabbert completed 20 of 27 pass for 298 yards and three touchdowns. All three of his scores went to wide receiver Danario Alexander, who looked particularly good amassing 200 yards on 10 catches.

It’s a done deal. The fans are still in their seats SCREAMING the K-S-UUUUU Wildcats cheer.
Good win for the Wildcats. They run out the clock and win 17-10 to stay on top of the Big 12 North standings.
3:07 4th Quarter
Kansas is beginning to call timeouts in an attempt to save clock.
K-State can end the game with a series of good runs here.
5:20 4th Quarter
Kansas just made its first field goal of the game and has pulled to within 17-10.
The drive ate up all kinds of clock and ended with a 46-yard field goal.
Kansas State will get the ball back after the ensuing kickoff. A touchdown return from Brandon Banks would be perfect for the Wildcats right now. But a handful of first down runs by Daniel Thomas would do the trick too.

The Sunflower Showdown is always a big game, but today’s battle between Kansas and Kansas State goes way beyond bragging rights.
If the Wildcats win they will further increase their lead atop the Big 12 North standings and be in terrific shape to go on and win the division.
If the Jayhawks win they will become bowl eligible and get back into the conversation for a North title.
Both teams have only a few games remaining, and anything is possible. But it will be awfully hard for either of these squads to get to where they want to be without first picking up a win in Manhattan.

Oklahoma is ranked and Kansas State is not. Oklahoma is a 28-point favorite and Kansas State is not. Oklahoma is playing at home, where it has won a nation’s best 27-straight games, and Kansas State is not.
On the surface, this game is a mismatch.
But, at 5-3, the Wildcats do own a better record than the Sooners. Having won their last two games, they are also riding a longer winning streak than Oklahoma.
They are little things that won’t mean much once the game starts, but they have given K-State a jolt of confidence.

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.
