Kansas State dominated the game on both sides of the ball, racking up 415 total yards. It forced the Bearcats into an inefficient pace on third down, converting 33 percent of its attempts. It came up empty on fourth down on five different occasions, as the Wildcats led the game wire-to-wire.
Quarterback Avery Johnson wasn't flashy but was poised. He completed 13-of-23 for 147 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson added a rushing touchdown for good measure.
For the first time in a month, Johnson didn't turn the ball over. He was complimented by running back D.J. Giddens' two-touchdown performance. He ran the ball 15 times for 143 yards, averaging 9.5 yards per carry.
The Wildcats forced four sacks against a Bearcat offense whose quarterback, Brendan Sorsby, completed 21 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns.
The Wildcats shift their focus to their final regular-season game against the Iowa State Cyclones next Saturday. The Cyclones are in a logjam with Arizona State, BYU, and Colorado to make the Big 12 title game, making the game a must-win to keep their hopes alive.
Entering Week 13, the Bearcats needed one win in their final two games to become bowl-eligible. They wrap-up the regular season with TCU next week.

In November 1988, the Kansas State Wildcats finished their second consecutive winless season. Sports Illustrated labeled Kansas State as the worst program in college football. Many observers said the program should be shut down. There was no hope for a program with the worst record in college football history. Following that lost season, K-State threw a Hail Mary. The Wildcats hired Iowa offensive coordinator Bill Snyder to save the program. Not only did Snyder save the K-State football program, but he also built a sustained national power.
Bill Snyder pulled off the Manhattan Miracle with tireless work and a relentless demand for perfection. Snyder did the impossible. In fact, he did so well that the famed Oklahoma Sooners Hall of Fame coach Barry Switzer called him “The Coach of the Century.”
Chris Klieman has continued the success of Snyder. Klieman posted four bowl berths in his first five seasons. Most important of all, Klieman led the Wildcats to the 2022 Big 12 championship.
