Kansas State Runs for 361 Yards and Beats Kansas 35-24
Kansas State scored first, and 13 seconds later Kansas had tied it on a 95-yard kickoff return by Bryson Hayes. That was how this one started, and it was a long way from how it ended: Kansas State won 35-24, running for 361 yards on 49 carries.
Kansas had a 17-7 lead in the first quarter. Nik McMillan caught a 12-yard touchdown from Isaiah Marshall and Martin Connington kicked a 31-yard field goal. Then Kansas State got to work with its kicker. Luis Rodriguez hit field goals of 22, 51 and 28 yards, with a safety in between, and Kansas State led 18-17 at the half. It would have been a lot worse for Kansas without that kickoff return, but the Jayhawks had the lead back at 24-18 on a 3-yard Dylan Edwards run in the third quarter.
That was the last Kansas score. Joe Jackson ran in from 8 yards with 6:32 left in the third for a 25-24 Kansas State lead, and Avery Johnson threw a 9-yard touchdown to Jaron Tibbs with 8:28 left in the fourth. Rodriguez's fourth field goal, a 34-yarder with 1:56 left, made it 35-24. There were four lead changes in all.
The totals are one-sided: 570 yards for Kansas State against 319 for Kansas. Kansas threw an interception and Kansas State lost a fumble. Kansas State is 4-2 and Kansas drops to 2-4.
Fantasy-wise, Johnson ran for 132 yards on 12 carries and Jackson for 159 on 27. Marshall, on the losing side, also ran for 117.
