UNIV. OF PHOENIX STADIUM

HOME OF THE TOSTITOS FIESTA BOWL Capacity: 73,000 Playing Surface: Natural Grass (Tifway 419 Bermuda hybrid planted in early May 2006 using stolons in an 11" bed of USGA sand mix with inclusions.) Lighting: 700 Musco pre-aimed sports lights providing over 1 million watts of lighting. Stadium Height: 233 feet from the playing surface to top of roof, approx. 19 stories high. With its retractable field and roof, University of Phoenix Stadium is unlike any other in North America. The exterior design of the stadium was provided by renowned architect Peter Eisenman, along with HOK Sport. The basic form of the design takes its cue from a barrel cactus and offers alternating vertical slots with smooth panels. The stadium was constructed with a retractable roof containing two large panels that retract to uncover the entire playing field. It also features a roll-out field consisting of a 152,000 square-foot concrete stadium floor with an embedded utility grid. The natural grass field remains in a retractable, 12-million pound tray outside the stadium until game day for maximum sun exposure and nourishment. The tray takes approximately 45 minutes to move inside the stadium and rests in a tray atop tracks as it rolls out on a steel wheel set powered by small electric motors. The stadium has permanent seating for 63,000, but expands to hold approximately 73,000 for events such as the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. A total of 88 luxury suites on two levels, club seating for 7,000 with access to private club lounge areas, lower bowl seating for 29,000 and upper deck seating for approximately 26,000 accommodate patrons. All seats are individual chairs with arm rests and cup holders. The press box is located in the southwest corner, it accommodates approximately 154 working media members. There is also a national television broadcast booth, a home coaches booth, a visiting coaches booth, an instant replay booth, an officials booth, a scoreboard and PA control booth, a stats booth and four radio booths. The 2011 Tostitos BCS National Championship had 78,603 fans in attendance, which was the largest crowd in the history of University of Phoenix Stadium. 2012 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS 3

BOWL PREVIEW

CATS AND DUCKS MEET IN MATCHUP OF TOP-FIVE TEAMS

TOSTITOS FIESTA BOWL PREVIEW Two programs that were one win away from undefeated seasons, with identical 11-1 records and Top 5 BCS rankings highlight the matchup between No. 5 K-State and No. 4 Oregon in the 2013 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Gearing up to meet for the first time in school history, Kansas State and Oregon will square off in University of Phoenix Stadium on January 3 in one of nation’s top bowl matchups this season, a game that the entire nation is anticipating. The Fiesta Bowl marks the Wildcats’ 16th bowl game in school history, and the 14th under head coach Bill Snyder, as the Cats will play in a BCS bowl game for the second time in school history - the other appearance was in the 2004 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Snyder took the program to 11-straight bowl games from the 1993-2003 seasons during his first stint as head coach of the Wildcat program. After narrowly missing postseason play in the first season of his second tenure in 2009 (6-6 record), Snyder quickly led K-State back into the bowl picture in 2010 when Kansas State played in the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl following a 7-5 regular season. Following a 10-2 campaign in 2011 and a berth in the Cotton Bowl, Snyder guided the Wildcats to the 2012 Big 12 Championship and a berth in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The excitement of the two programs, coupled with a primetime matchup on ESPN and a Top 5 contest, should make the 2013 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl one of the most anticipated matchups in the 2012-13 bowl season. A LOOK AT THE WILDCATS Playing in its third straight bowl game, Kansas State will look to snap a four-game skid in bowl games when it faces Oregon in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl as the Cats’ last postseason victory was back in 2002, a win over Arizona State in the Holiday Bowl. K-State’s success in 2012 was largely in part to a balanced offense, which consistently moved the ball down the field and turned drives into touchdowns, and an opportunistic defense, which was among the best in the Big 12 against the run while leading the nation in turnover margin at +21. But, as much as the success of 2012 stemmed from a team that came together, believed in each other and played together, K-State was fortunate to have two of the nation’s best and most valuable players on offense and defense in quarterback Collin Klein and linebacker Arthur Brown. Klein proved that 2011 was no fluke as he flourished again in 2012 with both his arm and his legs. Week in and Week out, Klein has continued to prove that he is among the top leaders and toughest competitors in all of college football. Klein is the only quarterback from a BCS AQ school to rush for 20 or more touchdowns

and throw for 10 or more in consecutive seasons, while he also is just the sixth Big 12 quarterback ever to record 4,000 yards passing and 2,000 yards rushing for a career. The Wildcats saw 20 players earn All-Big 12 honors from at least one of the various national outlets or organizations. Among those were first team offensive picks Klein, John Hubert (RB), Travis Tannahill (TE), B.J. Finney (OL) and Cornelius Lucas (OL). In 12 games this season, K-State averaged 40.67 points per game, which ranks 10th nationally. Brown led a defensive unit that used the 2012 campaign as a springboard to another great season. The All-America pick leads the team with 91 tackles this season as the senior is a physical force in the middle while also possessing the abilities to cover sideline to sideline. K-State’s defense is currently tops nationally in turnover margin (+21) and 27th against the run. Defensive end Meshak Williams was named the Big 12 Conference Defensive Lineman of the Year after leading the Big 12 in sacks, while safety Ty Zimmerman earned All-America and First Team All-Big 12 honors as a junior. The defense, which surrendered just 119 yards per game on the ground this season, forced a Big 12-best 31 turnovers while committing just 10 on offense. In addition, KState scored 142 points in 2012 off of turnovers to its opponents’ 24. A LOOK AT THE DUCKS Oregon’s appearance in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl will mark the fourth-consecutive BCS bowl appearance for the Ducks – and fifth overall – as well as the school’s second Fiesta Bowl berth in three seasons. The Ducks dropped a 22-19 decision to Auburn in the 2011 BCS National Championship in Glendale, Ariz., and are coming off a 45-38 win over Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl a year ago. The Ducks’ fourth BCS bowl bid in as many years represents the longest active streak in the country as the school is one of only four programs nationally to qualify for four or more consecutive BCS bowls since the inception of the current system in 1998. Oregon’s first BCS bowl appearance resulted in a 38-16 win over Colorado in the 2002 Fiesta Bowl. Oregon redshirt freshman Marcus Mariota was named the Pac-12 Conference’s Offensive Freshman of the Year and was the league’s first freshman to be named first-team all-conference quarterback since 1989. He ranks sixth in the country in passing efficiency, completing 218 of 312 passes for 2,511 yards and 30 touchdowns while throwing only six interceptions. All-America running back Kenjon Barner ran for 1,624 yards and scored 22 touchdowns this season to rank fifth in the country in rushing (135.3 avg.) and tied for sixth in scoring (11.0 ppg). The senior also is tied for fourth nationally in TDs scored while ascending to second on the Ducks’ all-time single-season scoring list (132 points). The Ducks completed the regular season ranking second in the country in scoring (50.8 ppg), third in rushing (323.3 avg.) and fourth in total offense (550.1 avg.).

TOSTITOS FIESTA BOWL AT A GLANCE

After arguably the most successful regular season in school history, Kansas State received its 16th bowl berth all-time and 14th under head coach Bill Snyder when the Wildcats were selected to meet Oregon in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. The Wildcats, behind National and Big 12 Coach of the Year Bill Snyder, wrapped up the regular season with an 11-1 overall record (8-1 Big 12) and finished atop the Big 12 race after being picked sixth in the preseason. Kansas State, which will face Oregon for the first time in school history, jumped out to a 10-0 start to the 2012 season, which included wins against Miami, at Oklahoma, at West Virginia, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and at TCU, before suffering its only loss at Holiday Bowl-bound Baylor in mid-November.

Head coach Bill Snyder picked up the 150th victory of his career in last year’s season opener, joining Frank Beamer (Virginia Tech), Steve Spurrier (South Carolina), Mack Brown (Texas) and Gary Pinkel (Missouri) as active coaches with 150 wins at BCS schools. After guiding K-State from 1989 to 2005, and again over the last three-plus seasons, the 2012 national coach of the year candidate is also one of the longest-tenured active coaches in COACH CURRENT SCHOOL RECORD the FBS, ranking fourth among behind Nevada’s Chris Ault (28th), Mack Brown Texas 230-111-1 Beamer (26th) and Troy’s Larry Blakeney (22nd). Even more imFrank Beamer Virginia Tech 211-105-2 pressive is that Snyder is the lone BCS coach who has served at Steve Spurrier South Carolina 206-77-2 the same school for at least 20 years and has never held the Bill Snyder Kansas State 169-74-1 same position at another school. Snyder currently ranks fourth Gary Pinkel Missouri 163-95-3 among all active FBS coaches with 169 wins since 1990, while * at FBS schools only he is currently ranked ninth in overall wins.

MOST WINS SINCE 1990 *

TURNOVER MARGIN K-State has shown the ability to force turnovers at a high clip in 2012, which was evidenced by the fact that the Wildcats have forced multiple turnovers in 10 of 12 games this season. In fact, K-State is currently +21 in turnover margin, which leads the nation, with 31 turnovers forced and just 10 surrendered this year. The 10 turnovers committed are the third fewest in the country heading into the bowl game, while the 31 forced are the second most. To take it a step further, the Wildcats have turned those 28 turnovers into 142 points, while K-State’s opponents have scored just 24 points following a Wildcat turnover this season -- both figures rank tops in the nation this season. Additionally, the Wildcat defense has collected multiple turnovers in 10 games this season and three or more in six matchups.

SCORING NOTES Following a slow start offensively in the season opener against Missouri State, K-State has picked up the pace considerable. Since the fourth quarter of the season opener, K-State has scored 472 points and has outscored its opponents, 472-247, over that period. K-State has reached the 50-point barrier on four occasions, including three times in conference play. The Cats have also shown the ability to come out of the locker room on fire as they have outscored their opponents, 281-128, in the second half, including a 136-59 mark in the third quarter. Additionally, K-State has yielded no more than one touchdown in the final 15 minutes of every game this year.

FINISHING STRONG K-State broke open a 16-9 contest with Missouri State in the 2012 season opener by erupting for a school-record 35 fourthquarter points. While the fourth-quarter point total may have been something new for the Cats, the ability to finish strong is something Bill Snyder teams have done consistently. In K-State’s last 25 games, the Cats have outscored their opponents, 234-151, in the final 15 minutes and also 271-177 closing out the first half of games. In K-State’s last 21 wins, the Cats have outscored their opponents, 220-116, in the final quarter.

PLAYING KEEP AWAY Kansas State was on the positive side of the ledger in terms of time of possession in 2011, leading the Big 12 and finishing fourth nationally in that department. The Wildcats held the ball for an average of 33:55 per game. K-State is 18-4 dating back to last season when controlling the clock and possessing the ball more than its opponent, including doing so in nine of 12 games so far this season. Ironically, North Texas held the ball for 37:04 in a 35-21 K-State win, marking the first time since 2002 that the Wildcats won a game when their opponent possessed the ball more than 37 minutes. Eastern Illinois had 37:45 of possession back in 2002 in a game that K-State won, 63-13. The Cats got the time of possession back in their favor in the 24-19 win at Oklahoma by controlling the ball for 34:47. At Iowa State, K-State held the ball for 40:54, the most in a game by a Wildcat team since holding the ball for 41:17 in the 1997 Texas A&M game, while it edged Texas Tech in time of possession by holding the ball for 30:34. In the regular season finale against Texas, K-State held the ball for 30:55.

RED ZONE ALERT Not only has Kansas State been able to possess the ball and sustain long drives over the course of the last two seasons, but the offense has managed to make the most of those opportunities once it has reached the red zone. Of K-State’s last 128 trips inside its opponent’s 20-yard line, the Wildcats have scored on 114 of those trips, with 86 of those being touchdowns. Over the course of the last 22 regular season games, the Wildcats are 106-of-117 in the red zone with 83 touchdowns. Additionally, the Cats are 66-for-73 in red zone chances with 50 touchdowns in their last 14 wins dating back to last season with four of those nonscoring trips coming via a kneel down in the final minutes of a game.

GROUND GAINS K-State opened the season with 324 yards rushing in its 51-9 win over Missouri State which included 152 by junior running back John Hubert. The 324 rushing yards were the most by a Wildcat team since gaining 373 against North Texas in 2010 and marked the third time since Bill Snyder’s return in 2009 that K-State eclipsed 300 yards on the ground in a game. Through 12 games, K-State ranks 33rd nationally in rushing, averaging 200 yards per game, while its 41 rushing touchdowns are tied for third nationally. In fact, the Wildcats are out-rushing their opponents by nearly 1,000 yards and have 29 more rushing scores.

WILDCATS WHEN...

K-State’s biggest improvement on defense over the course of the last two years has come against the run. Dating back to last year, K-State has yielded just 125 yards per game on the ground, which includes giving up less than 100 yards to seven teams this year - Missouri State (95), Miami (40), Oklahoma (87), West Virginia (88), Oklahoma State (87), TCU (96) and Texas (99). The Cats are currently ranked 16th nationally in rush defense at 119 yards per game.

BEHIND ENEMY LINES K-State has made tremendous strides at the line of scrimmage in the last 11 games. After not collecting a sack and just two tackles for loss in the 2012 season opener, the Wildcats have turned things around and head into the bowl game leading the Big 12 with 31 sacks. Against Miami, K-State had five sacks and 10 tackles for loss and then followed that up with three more sacks and 10 tackles for loss against North Texas. The last time a K-State team had back-to-back games with 10.0 or more tackles for loss was back in 2006 against Illinois State (10.0) and Florida Atlantic (12.0). At Oklahoma, K-State recorded two sacks and five tackles for loss, before adding 10 more tackles for loss in the win over KU. After adding four sacks at West Virginia, six against TCU, and another four in the regular season finale against Texas, the Cats also lead the Big 12 with 23 in league play. Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year Meshak Williams leads the charge with 9.5 sacks.

CATS CONTINUE CONSECUTIVE SCORING STREAK K-State extended one of the nation’s longest scoring streaks against Texas as the Cats have now tallied points in 202 consecutive games. The 202-game stretch is the eighth-longest in the nation and the longest in the Big 12. The Wildcats have not been kept off the scoreboard since Colorado shut out K-State, 12-0, on Nov. 16, 1996. The streak includes 133 league games, 74 true road games and 17 neutral-site contests.

KEYS TO SUCCESS A big part of K-State’s success over the past two seasons has been attributed to the discipline and fundamentals that head coach Bill Snyder and his coaching staff have instilled in the program. During the Cats’ 10-3 season, K-State managed to limit penalties (led the Big 12), possess the ball (ranked fourth nationally), limit turnovers (led the Big 12 in fewest turnovers lost with 15), create turnovers (ranked second in the Big 12 in turnover margin) and make the most of their possessions (30 scoring drives of 60-plus yards and led the nation during the regular season converting touchdowns on first and goal-to-go). In 2012, K-State currently is tops in the Big 12 and third nationally in fewest penalties (42 total), ranks first in the league and in the NCAA in turnover margin (+21) and also ranks highly in time of possession (31:57). The Wildcats have also made the most of the turnovers forced this season, converting them into a nation-leading 142 points this season.

NON-OFFENSIVE SCORES The rise of K-State football over the last two decades has much to do with the emphasis on special teams. Since 1990, Kansas State is 49-15 when scoring on special teams and 18K-State 87 1 when scoring on special teams and on defense, including a Texas 84 16-0 mark under Bill Snyder. And, in non-offensive touchdowns, Virginia Tech 83 the Cats have ranked among the nation’s best over the past 14 Miami 72 seasons. Since 1999, the Wildcats lead the nation in non-offensive touchdowns at 87 and have six already in 2012. In the 2012 season opener, Tramaine Thompson returned a punt 89 yards before Tyler Lockett’s 96-yard kickoff return against North Texas. Against OU, Jarell Childs scooped up a fumble in the endzone for the Wildcats’ first defensive score this season, while Arthur Brown took a tipped ball to the house for a 37-yard pick-six against Texas Tech. Lockett then took another kickoff 100 yards for a score against Oklahoma State and Allen Chapman recorded his second career pick-six last week.

NON-OFFENSIVE TDS SINCE 1999

SMART CATS WITH DEGREES IN HAND Kansas State has been the Big 12 leader in all-sports graduation rate in four of the past six years, and the same holds true specifically for football as the program has also led the conference in graduation rate over the same time frame. Individually, a total of 17 Wildcat players on the 2012 bowl roster have already earned their degrees from K-State. Those 17 players include seven community-college transfers and four four-year transfers, while nine of the 15 have earned starting roles this season for the Cats. The 17 graduates are Javonta Boyd, Arthur Brown, Anthony Cantele, Jarell Childs, William Cooper, Adam Davis, Ryan Doerr, Roman Fields, Chris Harper, Collin Klein, Nigel Malone, Zach McFall, Torell Miller, Jarard Milo, Nick Puetz, Justin Tuggle and Braden Wilson.

HONORS POUR IN Much was made about the importance of quarterback Collin Klein’s play for the Wildcat defense or Arthur Brown’s performance on defense, but when one looks at the 2012 All-Big 12 teams, it will be clear that this Big 12 Championship squad is not just a one or two-man show. The Wildcats set a new school record this season with 20 players earning at least one all-conference accolade from at least one outlet or publication. Among the first team selections were Klein, Brown, Meshak Williams, Travis Tannahill, Ty Zimmerman, B.J. Finney, John Hubert and Cornelius Lucas. Of that group, Klein, Brown and Zimmerman earned first or second team All-America honors. Among the others who earned All-Big 12 distinction this season were Tyler Lockett (WR/KR), Tramaine Thompson (WR/PR), Chris Harper (WR), Tavon Rooks (OL), Cody Whitehair (OL), Braden Wilson (FB), Adam Davis (DE), Jarell Childs (LB), Vai Lutui (DL), Nigel Malone (DB), Anthony Cantele (PK) and Ryan Doerr (P).

KLEIN LEADS K-STATE TO WINS Although football is the ultimate team sport, there is a lot to be said about the leadership of a starting quarterback coinciding with team victories. Some of the great K-State teams of the past have had great leadership at signal caller, and this year’s squad is no different. Collin Klein is tied for the most wins as a starting quarterback under head coach Bill Snyder despite just 27 starts under center, while he is second in winning percentage among the top five wins leaders. Additionally, he is one of just three quarterbacks in school history to lead K-State to a league championship.

CAREER STARTING QB WINS UNDER SNYDER Michael Bishop (1997-98) Collin Klein (2010-12) Ell Roberson (2001-03) Jonathan Beasley (1999-2000) Chad May (1993-94)

22-3 (.880) 22-5 (.815) 22-9 (.710) 21-4 (.840) 18-5-1 (.771)

IN GOOD COMPANY Heisman Trophy finalist and 2012 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award winner Collin Klein can lay claim to a record that no other quarterback from a BCS AQ school in the BCS era has achieved as he is the only player with at least 20 rushing touchdowns and 10 passing touchdowns in two seasons. The Wildcat signal caller was one of just four players to accomplish the feat once, joining former Heisman Trophy winners Cam Newton (Auburn, 2010), Tim Tebow (Florida, 2007) and Eric Crouch (Nebraska, 2000). In addition, Klein became the sixth quarterback in Big 12 history to register 4,000 passing yards and 2,000 rushing yards. Klein joined Crouch, Ell Roberson (K-State), Vince Young (Texas), Brad Smith (Missouri) and Robert Griffin III (Baylor) and 4,000/2,000 quarterbacks.

SCORING MACHINE First Team All-Big 12 performer Collin Klein, the FBS quarterback record holder for rushing touchdowns in consecutive seasons, accounted for 27 touchdowns over the final eight regular season games, including at least two rushing scores in six of those contests. Included in that stretch was at No. 13 West Virginia when he accounted for seven touchdowns (four rushes) to break the school record for single-game touchdown responsibility. With his stellar two-year run, Klein is the school record holder for career rushing touchdowns (55) and touchdown responsibility (84), while he is tops among Cedric Benson, RB, Texas (2001-04) 64 quarterbacks and second nationally among all active play- Ricky Williams, RB, Texas (1996-98) 64 ers in rushing touchdowns. The Loveland, Colo., product Eric Crouch, QB, Nebraska (1998-01) 59 also ranks fourth in Big 12 history and is second among Collin Klein, QB, K-State (2009-12) 55 quarterbacks in career rushing scores, while he tied the conference record for single-season rushing touchdowns last year (27) and is tied for fifth this year.

BIG 12 CAREER RUSHING TDS

STRIKE THE POSE Quarterback Collin Klein became just the second player in school history to be named a finalist for college football’s most prestigous award - the Heisman Trophy - when he was named a finalist in 2012. Klein joins former Wildcat quarterback Michael Bishop has the lone K-Staters who have made it to New York. Klein went on to finish third in the race, while Bishop was the runner up back in 1998. Both Bishop and Klein currently are tied for the school record for most career wins at the quarterback position while both also led their respective teams to No. 1 national rankings during their Heisman-worthy seasons. K-State’s other top Heisman Trophy candidate was Darren Sproles, who finished fifth in the race back in 2003.

KLEIN EFFICIENT IN PASSING GAME Thanks to a 66.2-percent completion percentage and 156.12 passing efficiency, teams have been on the lookout for Collin Klein’s arm all year. His pass efficiency rating this season is just shy of the K-State record of 159.95 (Michael Bishop, 1998), while his career total of 141.05 is third in school history. Completions have been a big part of his high rating, tying for seventh in a season (180) and ranking fifth in a career (353). Additionally, he has the highest career completion percentage (61.7) among the players in the top 10 in career completions.

BIG PLAYS VIA THE PASS Kansas State has shown a penchant for opening up the passing game more in 2012 compared to last year and that has resulted in more big plays for the Wildcats. Klein has tossed 41 passes for 20 or more yards this year (3.4 per game) after just 26 over the 13-game slate last season (2.0 per game). In addition, the Wildcats did not complete a pass play for 35 yards or greater until week six last year, while they already have 16 this year, including a season-long 62-yarder to Chris Harper at TCU and a 55-yard touchdown to Tyler Lockett against Texas. 10 2013 TOSTITOS FIESTA BOWL


WILDCAT NOTEBOOK TOTAL OFFENSE Quarterback Collin Klein has certainly been the workhorse offensively for Kansas State the last two seasons. The Loveland, Colo., product, has accounted for 3,380 of K-State’s 4,935 offensive yards (68.5 percent) this year and 6,439 of 9,316 (69.1 percent) since 2011. Even more impressive is the fact that the Wildcat signal caller has either rushed for thrown for 66.1 percent (37-of-56) of the offensive touchdowns this year and 74.8 percent (77-of-103) since 2011.

HUBERT IMPROVES TOUCHDOWN PRODUCTION After scoring just three touchdowns as a full-time starter in 13 games last season, running back John Hubert has become more involved around the goal line to take pressure off quarterback Collin Klein. The Waco, Texas, native has 15 rushing touchdowns this season to rank third in the Big 12 and tie for 10th in school history. Four of his scores came against in-state rival Kansas, which are tied for the third most in a single game in school history, the second most in the Big 12 this year and the third most nationally this year. Additionally, Hubert, a First Team All-Big 12 honoree by the league’s coaches, teamed with Klein to become the fourth quarterback/running back duo in school history to each have 15 or more rushing touchdowns, joining Jonathan Beasley and Josh Scobey (2000), and Darren Sproles and Ell Roberson (2002, 2003).

HARPER IS GO-TO RECEIVER Nearly 30 percent of K-State’s completions this season have gone to senior wide receiver Chris Harper. The former Oregon transfer has 50 receptions this year, including a career-high 11 at Baylor. A Second Team All-Big 12 performer, Harper’s 11 receptions were tied for seventh in school history and were the most by a Wildcat since 2008. His performance against the Bears was the continuation of a great second half of the season for Harper, who had 31 of his 50 receptions in the final six games.Harper, who became K-State’s 25th career 1,000-yard receiver earlier this season, now has 115 receptions to place ninth in school history and could finish his career in the top seven with eight catches against the Ducks.

GOING, GOING GONE Tyler Lockett may have taken teams by surprise last season with his kickoff-return abilities, but the speedy sophomore continues to excel as he ranks second nationally with a 33.3-yard average this year. Even more impressive is that the Second Team All-Big 12 honoree currently holds the conference’s career average return record at 34.3 yards, a mark that is top nationally among active players. If he keeps on his current pace in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, he will end the season holding the Big 12 record, a mark currently held by former Wildcat Brandon Banks (28.5 yards). Tyler Lockett, K-State (2011-12) 34.9 Lockett notched his fourth career kickoff-return score Brandon Banks, K-State (2008-09) 28.5 against Oklahoma State, the second of 100 yards in his ca- DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma (2007-10) 28.2 reer. The Tulsa, Okla., product is now tied for fourth nation- Ben Kelly, Colorado (1997-99) 28.1 ally among active players and in Big 12 history with his four Justin Gilbert, Oklahoma State (2010-12) 26.7 touchdowns, while he is one away from the school and Big 12 mark held by Banks.

BIG 12 CAREER KOR AVERAGE

A THREAT AT RECEIVER AS WELL

WILDCAT PLAYERS IN THE NFL Kansas State has 16 players on active rosters this season. Of the 16 players, 10 are on offense and six are on defense. The longest-tenured former Wildcats include cornerback Terence Newman (10th year, Cincinnati), offensive lineman Ryan Lilja (9th year, Kansas City, and running back Darren Sproles (8th year, New Orleans). Five organizations have two former Wildcats on their rosters as Newman is joined by linebacker Emmanuel Lamur, Tysyn Hartman and Lilja are teammates in Kansas City, William Powell and linebacker Reggie Walker play for Arizona, while wide receiver/kick returner Brandon Banks and linebacker Rob Jackson are teammates for a third season with the Washington Redskins.

Aside from his kick-return abilities, Tyler Lockett has also turned into one of the best threats at wide receiver in the Big 12. The Tulsa, Okla., product has 40 catches for 652 yards and four touchdowns this year. His best game was at West Virginia when he hauled in nine receptions for 194 yards and two scores. His 194 yards were the fifth most in a single game in school history and the most by a sophomore. Additionally, his reception and yardage total both rank fifth in school history among sophomores. His other two touchdowns this season were of the big-play variety as he hauled in a 34-yarder against Kansas and a 55-yarder to jump-start a 21-point fourth quarter in the regular-season finale against Texas.

ALL-PURPOSE PLAYER Just like Lockett, junior wide receiver Tramaine Thompson has made a major impact on both offense and special teams. Thompson leads the Big 12 with a punt-return average of 23.7 yards, a mark that would lead the nation if he met the required minimum of returns. He returned a put 89 yards for a touchdown in the season opener against Missouri State, while he also has five other returns of 20 or more yards. The 24th player in school history to notch 1,000 career receiving yards, Thompson has 36 catches for 514 yards and a team-high four touchdowns this year. However, nearly 40 percent of his catches have been third-down conversions.

OFFENSIVE LINE IS ALL-GOOD Just like last season, the 2012 offensive line only had two full-time starters returning heading into the season, and even then the unit took a hit when guard Nick Puetz went down with an injury in the season opener. But, thanks to hard work, the Wildcat offensive line yet again quickly gelled into one of the best units in the Big 12 as three of the five starters earned All-Big 12 accolades. Left tackle Cornelius Lucas earned first-team honors from the league’s coaches, while center B.J. Finney and guard Cody Whitehair earned honorable mention accolades. Additionally, Finney picked up votes for the Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year award, while he was a first-team honoree by the Associated Press.

SAMS I AM Backup quarterback Daniel Sams has had quite the start to his collegiate career in 2012. In eight games this year, the Slidell, La., product has rushed for 235 yards and three scores, including a two-touchdown performance against Miami. Teamed with Collin Klein’s three scores against the Hurricanes, it marked the first time under head coach Bill Snyder that two quarterbacks rushed for at least two touchdowns in the same game. Also, his 235 rushing yards this year are the most ever by a freshman quarterback in school history and the fifth most by a freshman.

HITTING THE CENTURY MARK After leading the team in tackles with 101 last season, senior linebacker Arthur Brown is at it again as he has a teamleading 91 stops entering the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, Brown became the first Wildcat since 2006 with 100 or more stops and can make more history against Oregon. With nine tackles against the Ducks, Brown would become the first Wildcat defender since Josh Buhl (2002 and 2003) to tally 100 or more stops in consecutive seasons. Buhl carded 135 tackles in 2002 and set the school record with 184 stops in 2003.

“THE JUDGE” BECOMES “THE STREAK BREAKER” Arthur Brown may be known for his high motor when chancing down ball carriers, but the Wichita, Kan., product might have more significance in his interceptions despite the fact that his career total equals three. Last year, Brown became the first player to intercept Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III, breaking a streak of 110 attempts without a pick and setting up the game-winning field goal. Ironically, Brown, who is nicknamed “The Judge” by his teammates, became the first player to pick off West Virginia’s Geno Smith after a then-NCAA record of 273 attempts without an interception this year. He put his interception streak at two games by taking a tipped pass 37 yards for a touchdown vs. Texas Tech.

One of the main reasons K-State leads the Big 12 in sacks has to do with the continued improvement of Meshak Williams and Adam Davis as the duo ranks first (9.5) and fourth (7.5) in the conference, respectively. Williams has 16.5 in his career to rank ninth in school history, while his season total is eighth. He totaled 2.5 sacks at No. 13 West Virginia, the top mark in the Big 12 this year. Williams and Davis also rank highly in the league in tackles for loss as they are tied for third (13.5) and fifth (12.0), respectively. Both players were honored for their work during the regular season as Williams was the Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year and a First Team All-Big 12 performer by both the league’s coaches and Associated Press, while Davis picked up second-team honors from both organizations.

CHAPMAN’S CAREER DAY Senior defensive back Allen Chapman turned in the best game of his career against Oklahoma State as he came away with three interceptions. He became the sixth player in school history with at least three picks in a game, while he was the first since Chris Canty against Akron in 1995. Additionally, he is one of just eight players nationally - and the only one from the Big 12 - with three interceptions in a single game. His first interception was returned 29 yards for a touchdown, which was the second pick-six of his career - both coming against the Cowboys. Chapman, who also made five tackles and batted away two passes, earned Bronko Nagurski and Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week honors and was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.

PICK ME A two-time semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, Second Team All-Big 12 performer Nigel Malone has become one of the best interception artists in school history. The Manteca, Calif., product has 12 in his career to tie for fourth in school history and ninth nationally among active players. After picking off seven passes last year, teams consistently avoided throwing towards Malone this year, but the ballhawk still came away with five interceptions and eight pass breakups.

ZIMMERMAN PLAYING CENTERFIELD Not to be out-done by Malone, safety Ty Zimmerman has a knack for finding the football as well. A First Team All-Big 12 performer, Zimmerman enters the bowl season as the Big 12 leader with five interceptions this year. During the season, he became the first Wildcat since at least 1989 to record interceptions in four-straight games, doing so against Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa State and West Virginia, while his fifth pick was at TCU. The Junction City, Kan., product is tied for sixth nationally in interceptions, while his career total of 10 is tied for seventh in school history and is 15th nationally among active players.

PINNING THEM DEEP It has become an art form for senior punter Ryan Doerr as he leads the Big 12 with 14 punts inside the 20-yard line in Big 12 play. That number was jump-started with five inside the 20-yard line in the conference opener at Oklahoma as he earned Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week honors. Of his league-leading 14 inside the 20 in Big 12 play, seven were downed inside the 10, including five that were downed at the five-yard line or in. An Honorable Mention All-Big 12 pick, Doerr is in his fourth year as the Wildcats regular punter and ranks in the top 10 in career attempts (198; 5th), yardage (8,153; 5th) and average (41.18; 8th).

CANTELE CAN Senior placekicker Anthony Cantele will go down as one of the best in school history for both a single season and a career. A Second Team All-Big 12 kicker by both the coaches and the Associated Press, Cantele has connected on 18-of-21 field goals and has been true on all 62 extra-point attempts. Cantele ranks fourth in school history, leads the Big 12 and is tied for third nationally among players with 21 or more attempts with a field-goal percentage of 85.7. A Lou Groza Award semifinalist, Cantele holds the school record for consecutive extra points made at 90 and counting, while he is second in career field goal percentage (.783), fourth in career extra points (116), fifth in career points (230) and sixth in career field goals made (36). The Wichita, Kan., product needs one field goal against Oregon to tie for fourth for a career in school history, two to tie for third and three to tie for second.

Head Coach

BILL SNYDER

21st Season at K-State

currently ranked

11th Nationally in Wins among active FBS coaches 2011, 2012 National Coach of the Year 2011, 2012 Big 12 Coach of the Year The 2009 season saw one of the greatest legends in college football return to the sidelines in hopes of revitalizing a program that he once built, piece by piece, into a national force. And, after three seasons back in charge, Bill Snyder is well on his way to doing just that. The architect of the “greatest turnaround in the history of college football” Bill Snyder returned to lead the Kansas State football program in 2009 after 17 ultra-successful seasons as the head coach from 1989-2005. And, following a 7-5 campaign in 2010 and a berth in the inaugural Pinstripe Bowl, the Wildcats climbed to heights only previously seen under Snyder as the Wildcats went 10-3 in 2011, finished No. 8 in the final BCS standings and earned their first Cotton Bowl invitation since 2001. The bar was raised again in 2012 as Snyder led the Wildcats to their third conference championship in school history and the since 2003. Kansas State, which won its first 10 games of the season and finished 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. He will lead K-State into the second BCS bowl game in school history in search of a school-record 12th victory. Along the way, the Wildcats defeated a school-record six ranked opponents. For his efforts in 2012, Snyder was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year by both the league’s coaches and Associated Press, while he was a finalist for the Bear Bryant, Eddie Robinson, Liberty Mutual and Maxwell Coach of the Year awards. 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

16 2013 TOSTITOS FIESTA BOWL

two-game skid to a pair of nationally-ranked teams, the Wildcats got back into the win column with a thrilling fourovertime victory over Texas A&M 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 national coaching honors from Sporting News, Rivals.com and CBSSports.com, and the Big 12 Coach of the Year by the AP and Big 12 Coaches. He also tutored 11 players to All-Big 12 honors, including Defensive Newcomer of the Year Arthur Brown and Offensive Freshman of the Year and Walter Camp All-American Tyler Lockett. 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 170-84-1 (.669) record during his tenure with the Wildcats, including a 97-65-1 (.598) mark in Big 8/12 games. His 170 victories are the 11th-most among active FBS coaches and are more than triple the man in second place on K-State’s all-time coaching victories list. 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. K-State would then dominate rival Kansas and closed out the home schedule with a convincing 39-14 win over Texas to become bowl-eligible. 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, KState was just one win away from advancing to the Big 12 Championship game as the Wildcats played at Nebraska in

COACHING STAFF the season finale with a championship game berth on the line. Not bad for a program that was picked by most preseason publications to finish fifth or even sixth in the 2009 Big 12 North race. K-State claimed more First Team All-Big 12 selections on offense than any other school with four last season. Big 12 Newcomer of the Year Daniel Thomas led the league in rushing in his first year at the position, while Nick Stringer, Jeron Mastrud and Brandon Banks also garnered first team All-Big 12 accolades. But to fully understand the turnaround ushered in by Snyder at Kansas State one must only consider that the Wildcats were in the midst of an 0-26-1 run when he was hired. 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 Wildcats. 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 21 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 Bryant/FWAA National Coach of the Year Award in 1993 and 1995 before winning in 1998; a finalist for the Football News National Coach of the Year Award in 1995 and 1998; and a finalist for the AFCA 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). The Houston Chronicle named him the 1996 Big 12 Coach of the Year, while he earned 1997 and 1998 Big 12 Coach of the Year honors from the Kansas City Star. Snyder also was the 1998 Big 12 Coach of the Year by the AP and by a vote of league coaches before earning the league coaches’ support again in 2002. The 2003 season brought more honors, including Big 12 Coach of the Year accolades from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and ESPN.com. The list of accomplishments Snyder has amassed in his 21 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 regular season with seven straight wins, a fourth Big 12 North Division 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 Associated 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 returned for the 2004 campaign. And though the little tank produced yet another record-breaking season capped by his third-straight selection to an All-Big 12 team, the lack of experience was one reason K-State struggled through a 4-7 rebuilding campaign. The 2002 season was one of the best in Kansas State history, 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. 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 turnarounds 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 attention from those who best know the game. Six Kansas 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. The Wildcats started the 2000 season ranked in the Top 10 for just the second time in school history and made a fourweek run into the Top 5 that saw K-State climb as high as No. 2 in the nation. 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, and PK Jamie Rheem, DT Mario Fatafehi and WR 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 consecutive 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.

COACHING STAFF

In 1998, Snyder led K-State to its second straight 11-win season and a No. 4 ranking in the final regular season 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 Conference North Division 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. Michael Bishop became the first Wildcat to be a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, and a total of six K-Staters 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-record seven conference games, finishing second in the North to undefeated and 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 Conference 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 Southwestern Bell 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 place behind national champion Nebraska. Following a 54-21 blitzing of WAC champion Colorado State in the 1995 Holiday Bowl, the Wildcats finished the season ranked sixth in the USA Today/CNN coaches poll and seventh in the Associated Press poll. Both rankings were the highest ever attained by a Kansas State football team to that point. In 1995, the Wildcats finished tied for second in the Big Eight and their 5-2 league mark gave K-State two consecutive 5-2 Big Eight seasons. In the last three years of the Big Eight, the Wildcats defeated or tied every team in the league except Nebraska. Since the inception of the Big 12 in 1996, K-State is 53-27 in league games under Snyder (10 seasons). 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 produced 45 different All-Americans during his 17 years as head coach, including nine consensus first-team All-Americans: in 1992 (P Sean Snyder), 1993 (FS Jaime Mendez), 1995 (CB Chris Canty), 1996 (Canty), 1997 (PK Martin Gramatica), 1998 (PR David Allen), 1999 (LB Mark Simoneau) and 2002 (CB Terence Newman). 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. Quarterback Michael Bishop became the first K-State player to be named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy (finishing as runner-up) while winning the Davey O’Brien Award. The foundation for K-State’s turnaround was laid in 1989 during Snyder’s first season in Manhattan. Although the season yielded just a 1-10 record, it became evident to everyone involved in the program that something special was happening. 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 victories 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 KState’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. That team was second in the Big Ten with 416 yards of offense per game. Snyder also served as quarterback coach at Iowa and helped develop some of the best quarterbacks 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 graduate assistant at USC under John McKay before returning to become head coach at Indio High School 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 on the football staff and head swimming coach at Austin College in Sherman, Texas. He joined the University of North Texas staff in 1976 and helped author an impressive turnaround with a three-year record of 26-7. He left UNT for Iowa in 1979. During his three-year hiatus, Snyder remained involved with the university and is currently a member of the Missouri and Kansas Halls of Fame, the K-State and Austin College Athletics Halls of Fame while also being inducted into the Holiday Bowl Hall of Fame. The long-time mentor also remained active in the community as he currently is the Chairman of the Kansas Mentors Council and the Kansas Leadership Council, a member of the Board of Directors for Kansas Leadership Center, the Board of Trustees for the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, the KSU Leadership Studies Advancement Council, the Terry C. Johnson Cancer Research Center Advisory Council, the Manhattan Community Foundation Board of Trustees, the KSU Foundation Board of Trustees and is the Honorary Co-Chairman of the Kansas Masonic Partnership for Life. Snyder, 73, 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.

2012 REVIEW

CHAMPIONS OF THE BIG 12 For the second straight season, K-State quieted the preseason prognosticators - and in a big way in 2012. An 11-1 record, which included a 10-0 start and the school’s first-ever No. 1 ranking in the BCS standings. A Big 12 Championship. A Heisman Trophy finalist. A National Coach of the Year. And 20 All-Big 12 performers. All coming after being picked to finish sixth in the Big 12 Conference race. Early on, K-State navigated its way to a 3-0 start which included a big 52-14 win over Miami in Manhattan. Then, the Cats made their biggest statement early in the season. K-State went into Norman and knocked off the No. 4 Sooners, the highest ranked opponent a Wildcat team had ever defeated on the road, to shoot up the national rankings. Wins over KU at home and gutty road wins at nationally-ranked Iowa State and West Virginia propelled the Cats to 7-0 and a No. 3 national ranking. Collin Klein’s 323 yards passing and seven total touchdowns launched the senior into the Heisman Trophy spotlight, which would culminate with a trip to New York City for the Colorado native as K-State’s second-ever Heisman finalist. Home wins over Texas Tech and Oklahoma State then followed before a gutty road win at TCU would propel the Cats to 10-0 and the No.1 spot in the BCS standings. The reality of a perfect season came to a halt the following week in Waco, Texas, as Baylor would hand the Cats their first loss of the season. But, K-State still had plenty to play for, and December 1 would provide Bill Snyder and company the opportunity to clinch the 2012 Big 12 Championship and a Fiesta Bowl berth at home and on Senior Night as K-State hosted Texas. And following a back and forth first half that cool December evening, that’s exactly what these Cats did.

Kansas State’s second-half game plan was relatively simple: Put the ball in the hands of its Heisman Trophy candidate and go win a Big 12 championship. That’s exactly what happened as K-State’s No. 7 led a second-half charge for a 42-24 victory over the Longhorns, and with it, tubs, and tubs, and tubs of chips and salsa at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl against the Oregon Ducks. The final gun sounded at 10:26 on the night of Dec. 1, and by 10:29 p.m. the 100-yards of turf at Bill Snyder Family Stadium was covered by a sea of purple celebrating only the third conference championship in the history of the program that started in 1896. Instead of the normal senior farewell lap around the stadium, on this title night the entire team took center stage as the Big 12 Conference trophy was presented to coach Bill Snyder near the north end zone. To the sounds of “We Are The Champions” by Queen, on this night K-State stood as King of Big 12 Conference football. It was a mob-moment that Tyler Lockett said, “I’ll remember for a lifetime.” Athletics Director John Currie addressed the crowd by saying, “Coach Bill Snyder said he came back to calm the waters, but tonight he created a purple tidal wave.” After presenting the Big 12 trophy to B.J. Finney, who then handed it off to Arthur Brown, Snyder thanked the players and coaches, plus the K-State fan base as “… family. You’re a big part of this.” He would add, “It’s not just the championship itself, but what it meant to so many different people.” Taking his turn at the microphone, Klein said, “I thank God for bringing this family together. That’s the coaches, the brotherhood of players and the best fans in the country.” Klein then hoisted the crystal trophy above his head to twinkle in the Manhattan December night sky.

Junior running back John Hubert rushed for 152 yards, thanks in part to this 95-yard run. It was the second-longest run in school history and the longest in Bill Snyder Family Stadium history, topping a 91-yarder by Ell Roberson vs. Nebraska in 2002.

MANHATTAN, Kan. - All week, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder harped on his team about starting fast. He wanted the No. 22 Wildcats to put away Missouri State early in their season opener, and give the backups some valuable repetitions before next week’s showdown with Miami. Well, it was 9-6 at halftime Saturday night, and Snyder began thinking to himself, “I’m going to go out and tell them I want a very slow start next week and see what happens.” Maybe they’ll start off the way they finished. Collin Klein threw a pair of second-half touchdown passes, John Hubert ran 95 yards for a fourth-quarter score and the Wildcats piled up 42 unanswered points in 51-9 victory. The late binge made for a score that was widely expected, even though Kansas State struggled to get there. Hubert finished with 152 yards rushing, Braden Wilson and Daniel Sams added touchdown runs, and Tramaine Thompson returned a punt 89 yards to complete the late scoring surge. Missouri transfer Ashton Glaser was 22 of 44 for 257 yards for the Bears, who won just two games last season. It was the 20th straight season-opening win for Snyder, who returned to the sideline four years ago after a brief retirement to rescue a once-proud program that had fallen back on hard times. The Wildcats surprised just about everyone by winning 10 games last season. Expectations are much higher this year - the Wildcats will get everyone’s best shot - and that began with Missouri State, which had a healthy advantage in total offense most of the night. The Bears were done in by a couple of major mistakes, though: Wide receiver Julian Burton fumbled just short of the goal line to waste a touchdown chance in the first quarter, and a dropped pass mid-

way through the fourth wiped out another likely score. The Wildcats hardly blitzed on defense and ran a vanilla offense, and that was part of the reason the game was close into the second half. The run-first Klein didn’t take off on a designed running play until midway through the second quarter, and he finished with just 54 yards rushing. The Wildcats started to roll with 7:06 left in the third quarter, when Klein hit Thompson in the corner of the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown pass. Klein’s running ability then set up Wilson’s four-yard touchdown run a few minutes later to make it 23-9. The Wildcats quickly got the ball back and Hubert scooted free for a 95-yard touchdown, the secondlongest in school history.Klein added a short touchdown pass to Chris Harper before giving way to Sams, the freshman backup, and he scooted 46 yards for another touchdown. Thompson capped the scoring with his dynamic punt return in the closing minutes to make the score appear much more lopsided.

Tramaine Thompson capped the scoring with an 89-yard punt return touchdown. It was the longest by a Wildcat since 2007.

Senior quarterback Collin Klein accounted for four touchdowns - including three on the ground - leading K-State to a victory over Miami. Klein, who also threw for 210 yards, earned Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors.

MANHATTAN, Kan. - Collin Klein threw for 210 yards and ran for 71 more, accounting for four touchdowns and leading No. 21 Kansas State to a 52-13 rout of Miami. John Hubert added 106 yards rushing and a touchdown, and Daniel Sams added two scores on the ground as the Wildcats rolled up 498 yards of total offense while holding Miami to 262. The blowout stood in stark contrast to last season’s meeting in Coral Gables, Fla., when Kansas State needed a dramatic goal-line stand in the closing minutes to secure a 28-24 victory. Stephen Morris threw for 215 yards for Miami, but was sacked five times. The Canes lost three fumbles and managed just 40 yards rushing - an average of 1.4 per attempt. K-State linebacker Arthur Brown, who began his career at Miami, ground a bit of dirt in their wounds. The Butkus Award candidate recovered a fumble in the first quarter to set up a short TD drive, then helped cause a turnover-on-downs with a third-quarter sack. The Wildcats improved to 6-0 at home against BCS non-conference opponents under Bill Snyder. The Hurricanes’ performance was summed up by a 5-second span in the fourth quarter: Morris fumbled the ball away while getting sacked, and Sams sprinted 15 yards on the next play to give Kansas State a 456 lead with 10:51 remaining in the game. Miami scored its only touchdown in the closing minutes, when backup quarterback Ryan Williams completed a short scoring pass following a long kickoff return. The Canes, opening with consecutive road games for the first time since 2005, looked like an inexperienced bunch against the senior-laden Wildcats. They had 14 players appear in their first game a week ago, including 12 freshmen from a roster that has 42 firstyear guys. The Canes’ defense never gave them a

chance to come back this time. K-State scored on its first four possessions, the streak ending when Anthony Cantele missed a field goal. Klein had touchdown runs of 1 and 6 yards, and hit Curry Sexton down the seam for a 27-yard scoring strike before the Hurricanes knew what hit them. Jake Wieclaw’s second field goal as the first half expired trimmed the Wildcats’ lead to 24-6. Klein added his third touchdown run early in the third quarter, and after the Wildcats held Miami on fourth down deep in their own territory, the gritty senior led Kansas State on a 97-yard drive highlighted by a 58-yard pass to backup tight end Zach Trujillo. This time it was Hubert capping the drive with a touchdown run. Klein’s day was done after that, and when Miami fumbled on its next possession, Sams took over the offense. The elusive freshman needed one play to scoot 15 yards for a touchdown, and then added an 11-yard scoring run late in the fourth quarter to punctuate the victory.

Wide receiver Curry Sexton hauled in his first career touchdown catch, a 27-yarder, to give K-State a 24-3 lead. 2012 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS 55

Sophomore wide receiver Tramaine Thompson hauled in five receptions for a career-high 102 yards and two touchdowns. It was the first 100-yard receiving game by a Wildcat since Texas A&M in 2011, while it was the first two-TD game since Sept. 11, 2010.

MANHATTAN, Kan. - Quarterback Collin Klein threw for 230 yards and accounted for three touchdowns, kick returner Tyler Lockett returned a kickoff 96 yards for another score and No. 15 Kansas State eased past pesky North Texas 35-21. Wide receiver Tramaine Thompson caught five passes for 102 yards and two scores, and John Hubert added a touchdown on the ground for Kansas State, which struggled to put away the tougher-than-expected Mean Green. North Texas scratched and clawed its way within 14-13 late in the third quarter before Klein and Thompson hooked up for their second touchdown. Hubert and Klein added fourth-quarter scoring runs to finally give Kansas State breathing room. Derek Thompson was 25 of 28 for 208 yards and a late TD pass for the Mean Green, who converted the 2-point conversion to get within two touchdowns with 2:31 remaining in the game. An onside kick was recovered by the Wildcats, allowing them to run out the clock. Using a ball-control offense devised by former Iowa State coach Dan McCarney - no stranger to matching wits with Kansas State’s Bill Snyder - North Texas managed to keep Klein, Hubert and the rest of the Wildcats’ potent offense standing on the sideline most of the night. The Mean Green held their Big 12 opponent to 143 yards rushing - Kansas State entered the game sixth nationally at better than 300 per game - while holding the ball an astonishing 37 minutes, 4 seconds, which prevented the Wildcats from getting into much rhythm. The Mean Green’s Brelan Chancellor capped an 11play, 55-yard drive with a 6-yard scoring run midway through the first quarter, for the fleetest of moments hushing a sellout crowd. They were back on their feet on the ensuing kickoff, when Lockett started up field, angled to his left and

then found a seam down the sideline for his third career kick return touchdown. The game was tied at 7 when North Texas had a promising drive end with a blocked field goal attempt. The Wildcats capitalized on the miscue, moseying downfield in five plays before Klein went over the top to Thompson, whose 38-yard touchdown catch gave Kansas State the lead. The Mean Green had a chance to pull even on the first drive of the second half, using nearly half of the third quarter in moving 88 yards. Antoinne Jimmerson’s short TD run capped the 14-play drive, but the extra point was wide right and Kansas State clung to a one-point lead. Klein hit Thompson a few minutes later, this time from 21 yards, and Hubert and Klein tacked on TD runs in the fourth quarter that finally allowed the purple-clad Kansas State fans to relax.

Tyler Lockett returned a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown. It was Lockett’s third career kickoff return touchdown.

Justin Tuggle sacked Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones and forced Jones to fumble, which was recovered by Jarell Childs in the end zone. It was one of two touchdowns scored by the Wildcats off Sooner turnovers in the five-point victory.

NORMAN, Okla. - John Hubert ran for 130 yards and a touchdown, Jarell Childs scooped up a fumble and returned it for a score and No. 15 Kansas State beat No. 6 Oklahoma 24-19. Collin Klein picked up 228 yards of total offense and ran for the go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter in a solid performance that outshined and error-filled night by Sooners quarterback Landry Jones. Jones threw for 298 yards and a late TD to get OU within five but also fumbled and threw an interception that put Kansas State in position to go ahead. The Wildcats waited for Oklahoma’s players to leave the field and then celebrated with their fans after earning redemption for a 58-17 blowout loss last season that ended their undefeated run. Jones, who threw for a school-record 505 yards in last year’s game on the Wildcats’ home field, had returned to Oklahoma instead of entering the NFL draft in part for one last shot at a national championship. That could be in jeopardy already, after another loss on a home field where the Sooners seemed invincible not so long ago. K-State coach Bill Snyder, the mentor to Sooners counterpart Bob Stoops, scored another marquee win against his former pupil. His only other win had come in the 2003 Big 12 championship game, with the Wildcats losing in the other eight meetings. A handful of critical mistakes by the Sooners’ quarterbacks did them in. Jones’ first big gaffe came as he rolled to his right near his own goal line and was hit by Justin Tuggle, with the ball squirting free. Childs picked it up and scored to give K-State an early 7-3 lead and a big shot of momentum. Oklahoma was within a yard of pulling even when Blake Bell, Jones’ backup who runs a power set called the “Belldozer,” fumbled away a snap to snuff out a promising drive.

Jones averted disaster with another bad decision in the third quarter, when he flipped the ball toward Roy Finch on a shuffle pass even though Finch was already past him. Jones scurried toward the loose ball and tried in vain to recover it, but the Sooners got it back after a review showed it was in fact an ill-advised pass instead of a botched handoff. Given a second chance, Jones completed his next six passes on the drive and put Oklahoma in position for Bell’s 3-yard touchdown run to make it 13-10 with 5 minutes left in the third quarter. After faking a handoff, Jones overshot Kenny Stills and K-State’s Ty Zimmerman zoomed in to intercept the errant throw and give the Wildcats the ball at the Oklahoma 38. Klein cashed it in seven plays later, going 5 yards on a quarterback keeper to put Kansas State up to stay at 17-13. Jones badly underthrew Brennan Clay with the pass rush closing in to close Oklahoma’s next drive and Hubert provided some breathing room with a 9-yard TD run through traffic up the middle.

John Hubert rushed for 130 yards - including a long of 36 - and one touchdown against Oklahoma. 2012 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS 57

John Hubert registered a career-high four rushing touchdowns to go along with 101 yards. His four scores were tied for the third most in a single game in school history, while he teamed with Collin Klein (116) for two 100-yard games for the first time since 2010.

MANHATTAN, Kan. - John Hubert ran for 101 yards and four touchdowns on just 10 carries, Collin Klein had two touchdowns running and throwing and No. 7 Kansas State routed Kansas 56-16. Klein finished with 129 yards passing and 116 yards rushing to help the Wildcats pile up more than 50 points for the third straight year against their biggest rival. They’ve won four straight against the Jayhawks since Bill Snyder returned to the sideline. The longtime K-State coach probably had some choice words for his team at halftime, when a slew of mistakes resulted in a 21-14 lead. But the Wildcats scored four touchdowns in the third quarter, three in a span of about 5 minutes, to put the game away. Kansas’ Dayne Crist threw for 189 yards and a touchdown, but he also threw three interceptions and lost a fumble. Just about everything that could go right for Kansas in the first half did. It started with a time-gobbling, 86-yard drive that kept Klein and Co. on the sideline for a good chunk of the first quarter, and ended in a 19-yard touchdown pass to Tony Pierson. Crist was 7-of-8 passing for 77 yards on the series. Kansas State answered with a 74-yard drive of its own. Hubert did almost all the work, and his 20-yard touchdown run over a gaping right side knotted the game late in the quarter. That’s when Kansas got sneaky - or downright audacious. Held to three-and-presumably-out, Kansas coach Charlie Weis told Ron Doherty to execute what amounted to a punter draw that went for a first down. The Jayhawks marched to the Kansas State 23 before they were held again, but this time they faked a field goal, and holder Blake Jablonski threw a pass to defensive end Toben Opurum - a former running back to set up Sims’ short TD run.

Kansas State needed only four plays and just over a minute to answer again. Klein scooted for 27 yards and two plays later hit Tyler Lockett in stride for a 34yard touchdown reception. After holding Kansas to three-and-out - this time the Jayhawks did punt - the Wildcats needed only three plays to score. Angelo Pease ran for 28 yards, Klein went for 31 and then the fullback-like quarterback barreled in from a yard out to make it 21-14 with 9:35 left in the half. The game quickly got out of hand in the third quarter. Klein’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Travis Tannahill made it 28-14, and after Kansas managed a safety, Tre Parmelee fumbled the ensuing kickoff to give the Wildcats the ball back. Hubert made one cut and ran untouched 32 yards for another touchdown and a 3516 lead. Crist was picked off again on the Jayhawks’ next possession and, three plays later, Hubert scored from a yard out. Klein added another touchdown run minutes later to make it 49-16.

Collin Klein accounted for four rushing touchdowns (two rushing, two passing) while rushing for 116 yards.

Collin Klein rushed for 105 yards and three touchdowns to lead K-State to its first win in Ames since 2003. Klein improved his career rushing touchdown total to 43, the new school record by a quarterback.

AMES, Iowa - Quarterback Collin Klein ran for 105 yards and three touchdowns and No. 6/5 Kansas State held off Iowa State, 27-21, for its fifth consecutive win over the Cyclones. Klein also threw for 187 yards for the Wildcats, who remain unbeaten heading into next week’s showdown with West Virginia. K-State grinded out 177 yards on 52 attempts on the ground, as junior running back John Hubert added 79 yards on 22 carries. Sophomore wide receiver Tyler Lockett posted a team-best 55 yards receiving on two catches, while senior wide receiver Chris Harper had a team-high four catches for 51 yards. Kansas State held the Cyclones to just 231 yards of offense and 12 first downs. Iowa State still had a chance for the game-winning drive from its own 3yard line with 2:17 left, but the Wildcats stopped the Cyclones on downs. Sophomore defensive back Randall Evans had a team-high nine tackles for K-State, while junior safety Ty Zimmerman had an interception to go with six tackles. The Wildcats held the ball for nearly 41 minutes and converted eight of 17 third downs. The win was a vintage performance by Klein, who outgained the Cyclones by himself and showed why he’s among the nation’s best quarterbacks on the run. One play in particular told the story of the day. Facing third-and-long deep in Iowa State territory, Klein hung in a collapsing pocket long enough for the right side of the field to open up. He bounced out of trouble and, with defenders going the other way, darted 12 yards to put Kansas State up 24-14 with 49 seconds left in the third quarter. But Iowa State simply wouldn’t go away. The Cyclones, helped immensely by a pass interference call on the Wildcats at the goal line, answered with a 2yard TD run by Jeff Woody to get within 24-21 with 12:34 to go.

The problem was Iowa State’s defense had already been on the field for 30 minutes by then, and the Cats wisely chose to wear the Cyclones out on the ground. Though Kansas State had to settle for a 25-yard field goal from Anthony Cantele, they burned over eight minutes driving down the field. Iowa State had just two more chances. It was stuffed on fourth down both times. Iowa State jumped ahead 7-3 on Shontrelle Johnson’s 2-yard TD run to open the second quarter. Klein answered, bullying his way through a pile of defenders for a critical fourth-down conversion at the Iowa State 3-yard line. Klein punched it in from 2 yards out to make it 10-7, Kansas State, with 8:18 left in the first half. Barnett shook off a bad interception at the Kansas State goal line with a 30-yard TD pass to a wide-open Ernst Brun in the flat. But Klein's skills as a runner helped buy him enough room to toss a 45-yard completion to Tyler Lockett, and his 6-yard TD run put the Wildcats ahead 17-14 at halftime.

Ty Zimmerman picked off his third pass in as many games at the goal line to halt a potential Iowa State scoring drive. 2012 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS 59

AP Collin Klein threw for a career-high 323 yards and three touchdowns on 19-of-21 aim to lead K-State to its highest point total on the road against a ranked team in school history. Klein accounted for seven touchdowns as he also ran for four.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Collin Klein ran for four touchdowns and threw three TD passes as fourthranked Kansas State got little resistance from West Virginia in a 55-14 victory that turned a matchup of Heisman Trophy contenders into a campaign ad for the Wildcats’ quarterback. Klein was 19 for 21 for a career-high 323 yards and ran for 41 yards for the Wildcats, while Geno Smith threw his first two interceptions of the season and finished 21 for 32 for 143 yards. Kansas State scored on its first eight possessions, making it 52-7 with 2:25 minutes left in the third quarter when Klein hit Tyler Lockett over the middle for a 20-yard score. Milan-Puskar Stadium was already half empty by that point, and a long line cars was creeping out of the parking lot. The first meeting since 1931 of the new Big 12 rivals was so lopsided that by the time it was finished it was hard to even remember that this matchup started as a battle for first in the conference. With the Mountaineers seemingly determined to at least stop the run early, Klein completed his first seven passes, including a 10-yard touchdown that Lockett made a stretching, toe-dragging catch on in the back corner of the end zone. That made it 10-0 in the first. The K-State running game went to work on the third drive and Klein finished that off with a 1-yard plunge. Klein made it 24-0 on the next Kansas State drive, taking an option keeper 8 yards. That gave him 39 rushing touchdowns over the last two seasons to break an FBS record held by Eric Crouch of Nebraska and Stacey Robinson of Northern Illinois. Tavon Austin finally put a little life back into the sellout crowd when he took the ensuing kickoff back 100 yards for a score with 4:12 left in the first half. The bad news for West Virginia was that it gave the Wildcats more than enough time to get the ball back

in the end zone -- which they did. Klein hit Lockett deep for 44 yards and a few plays later he finished off the drive with another 1-yard dive. The first half onslaught went like this for Kansas State: five possessions, 346 yards, four touchdowns and a field goal. The offense was unstoppable and the defense was just as good, holding Smith to 62 yards by flooding the secondary with defenders and taking away the down field throws. The second half began with a little history. Smith, who had completed a NCAA record 273 straight pass attempts without recording an interception, saw his first pass of the second half tipped in the air by Wildcat defensive back Randall Evans and the ball landed in the hands on linebacker Arthur Brown. Two plays later, Klein found Chris Harper in the back of the end zone for a 21-yard touchdown that put Kansas State ahead 38-7. Two possessions later, K-State got to a Smith pass again as Ty Zimmerman picked off his fourth pass in as many games, the most under Bill Snyder.

AP Sophomore Tyler Lockett hauled in two touchdown passes as part of his 9-catch, 194-yard evening.

Senior linebacker Arthur Brown intercepted a tipped ball and returned in 37 yards for a touchdown. It was his third career interception and second in as many weeks as he also grabbed a tipped pass thrown by West Virginia’s Geno Smith.

MANHATTAN, Kan. - Collin Klein accounted for four touchdowns, linebacker Arthur Brown returned an interception 37 yards for another score and No. 4 KState roughed up No. 15 Texas Tech 55-24. Klein was 19 of 26 for 233 yards and two touchdowns, and had 83 yards and two more scores on the ground - bolstering his credentials for the Heisman Trophy. Most of the offense came in the second half as the Wildcats blew open a 13-10 game to improve to 8-0 for the first time since 1999. Seth Doege threw for 331 yards and two touchdowns for the Red Raiders, but also had a costly interception. Doege had thrown for 13 touchdowns in wins over West Virginia and TCU the last two weeks to jump into the Heisman conversation. Of course, Klein is a major part of that discussion. The senior quarterback moved into seventh in Big 12 history with 49 touchdowns rushing. And his vastly improved passing game has helped the Wildcats pile up big points on offense this year. The Red Raiders’ second-half meltdown was similar to last year’s matchup in Lubbock, when they blew a 28-20 lead against Kansas State by turning it over three times in the fourth quarter. Things started off well enough for Texas Tech. Doege completed six of his first eight passes. An encroachment penalty kept the drive alive, and Doege finished it off with a 32-yard TD toss to Eric Ward. The Wildcats, meanwhile, couldn’t get anything going. Klein was sacked to end their first series, and had a pass tipped on third down to end their second. By the end of the quarter, Kansas State had just 19 yards of offense. The defense provided a jolt late in the quarter when Meshak Williams delivered a crushing blindside hit on Doege, popping the ball loose. Jarrell Childs went the other way for what appeared to be a TD return, but an illegal block brought the ball back to the Tech 14.

K-State had to settle for an Anthony Cantele field goal. Ryan Bustin matched it with a 37-yarder to cap the Red Raiders’ next possession, but Hubert capped off K-State’s ensuing drive by winning a race to the pylon after getting stood up at the line of scrimmage. Bustin had a 50-yard field goal blocked on Texas Tech’s next series, and K-State’s quick-strike offense set up a 19-yarder by Cantele for the halftime lead. It was a sign that everything was starting to go right for the Wildcats. Four straight plays of 10-plus yards to start the second half led to a 21-yard TD toss from Klein to Tramaine Thompson. And after Ward fumbled on the Red Raiders’ first offensive play of the third quarter, Klein needed only two plays to scamper in from 16 yards out for a 27-10 lead. Sadale Foster’s touchdown run gave the Red Raiders some flickering hope, but Klein added a 22yard TD run, Hubert had a 15-yarder early in the fourth quarter, and Brown's pick-six snuffed it out completely. Pease added his score midway through the quarter to cap the scoring binge.

Quarterback Collin Klein was 19-of-26 for 233 yards and 2 TDs in the air and also scored two more on the ground. 2012 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS 61

Senior Allen Chapman recorded three interceptions, including one he returned 29 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. Chapman’s three picks were tied for second place in a single game in school history.

MANHATTAN, Kan. - No. 2 Kansas State used 199 yards in kickoff returns and three interceptions by senior Allen Chapman to post a 44-30 win over No. 24 Oklahoma State at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The win kept the Wildcats’ unbeaten, as the squad moved to 9-0 for the first time since 1999. Senior quarterback Collin Klein threw for 245 yards and ran for 64 more before sneaking in for his 50th career rushing touchdown with 9:47 left in the third quarter. He was replaced by back-up Daniel Sams, who finished the game with 45 yards on 5-of-6 passing and 20 yards rushing. Oklahoma State’s Wes Lunt left with an injury after throwing his third interception in the third quarter. The freshman quarterback, who missed six weeks with a knee injury earlier this year, threw for 184 yards and a touchdown before giving way to Clint Chelf. By that point, the Wildcats simply had to protect a 38-17 lead. Chapman became the first Wildcat with three interceptions in game since Chris Canty also had three against Akron on Sept. 23, 1995. He returned one for 29 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. John Hubert had a pair of TD runs, and Tyler Lockett returned a kickoff 100 yards for another score. Chelf finished 16 of 27 for 233 yards and a touchdown for the Cowboys. This one was just about as wild as last season’s matchup in Stillwater, when the Cowboys held on in the final minutes after the teams combined for 32 fourth-quarter points. Oklahoma State struck first when Lunt hit Austin Hays for a 54-yard touchdown reception, but the Wildcats came back with 17 unanswered points - Hubert’s two touchdown runs were sandwiched around the first of Anthony Cantele's three field goals. Quinn Sharp added the first of his three field goals to get the Cowboys within 17-10 before the fireworks really started: Lockett fielded the ensuing kickoff deep

in his end zone and went the distance for his fourth career TD return, and Desmond Roland answered by fielding a short kickoff by Kansas State and going 80 yards for another touchdown return. Chapman’s picksix made it 31-17 at halftime. The Cowboys had the ball to start the second half, and Lunt appeared to get hurt while throwing an interception to Nigel Malone and never returned. The Wildcats marched 93 yards before Klein’s touchdown plunge from a yard out made it 38-17. Daniel Sams played the rest of the way for K-State. Sharp and Cantele traded field goals before Chelf hit Charlie Moore for a 13-yard touchdown to get OSU within 41-27. The two kickers traded field goals again before Cantele missed from 24 yards to give Oklahoma State the ball with 4 1/2 minutes left in the game. The Cowboys marched to the K-State 8, but Chapman picked off Chelf in the end zone for his final interception of the night. The three picks were one shy of Jaime Mendez’s school record set against Temple on Sept. 26, 1992.

Tyler Lockett returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. It was his fourth career kickoff-return score.

Collin Klein rushed for two touchdowns, including this 34-yarder that gave K-State a 20-0 lead in the third quarter. It was his 52nd career rushing touchdown, which moved him into sole possession of fourth place in Big 12 history.

FORT WORTH, Texas - No. 2 Kansas State used a stellar defensive effort to earn a 23-10 win at TCU and move to 10-0 for the first time since 1998. The win gave the Wildcats back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time since 2002 and 2003 and moved them to 7-0 in league play for just the second time in school history. In their first meeting with TCU as a Big 12 member, the Wildcats forced a pair of turnovers and registered a season-high six sacks to hold the Horned Frogs to a season-low 10 points. K-State nearly had the shutout before TCU registered a field goal with 6:59 left in the fourth quarter and a touchdown with just 47 seconds left. It was the fewest points scored by the Frogs since also tallying 10 against Boise State in 2010 Fiesta Bowl and the fewest at home under head coach Gary Patterson. Senior quarterback Collin Klein ran for two touchdowns to extend his school career record to 52 and move into sole possession of fourth place in Big 12 history. He accounted for 50 yards on 15 carries, while he added 145 yards passing on 12-of-21 attempts. Senior placekicker Anthony Cantele accounted for the rest of the Wildcats’ points with field goals of 41, 20 and 27 yards. He missed on a 48-yarder just before halftime after an interception by safety Ty Zimmerman. Klein opened the game with just his third interception of the season, as freshman defensive end Devonte Fields made a diving catch for his first career pick. However, the Horned Frogs failed to take advantage by going three-and-out. By time they got the ball back, TCU was trailing for good and on way to its third consecutive home loss, all to Big 12 teams. Klein’s next play was a 62-yard pass to wide receiver Chris Harper, who got an extra 15 yards or so on the play dragging defenders after making the catch

near midfield. That drive ended with Klein’s 7-yard touchdown run. When TCU punted again, wide receiver Tremaine Thompson had a 33-yard punt return to the Frogs 41. The first of Cantele’s three field goals, a 41-yarder, made it 10-0. Klein’s had two rushing touchdowns in the contest to give him 19 for the season, which ties for third place in school history. Patterson, TCU’s winningest coach with 115 wins in 12 seasons, started his coaching career as a KState graduate assistant in 1982, long before Snyder got there, and was part of the Wildcats’ first bowl team. He played there the previous two seasons, as a safety and linebacker who played a lot on scout teams and a little on special teams. Kansas State had a 13-0 lead after Cantele made a 20-yard field goal with 28 seconds left in the first half. That came after Deante Gray tried to field a punt that sailed over his head, and it was recovered at the Frogs 5.

Ty Zimmerman picked off his 10th career pass against the Horned Frogs. He is now tied for sixth in school history. 2012 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS 63

Senior wide receiver Chris Harper hauled in 11 receptions for 123 yards and a touchdown. His 11 catches were tied for seventh in school history and were the most by a Wildcat since 2008. Harper moved to 10th in school history in career receptions.

WACO, Texas - Baylor used a 24-point third-quarter to break open a tight game, as the Bears earned their first win over a No. 1 team in school history with a 5224 victory over Kansas State at Floyd Casey Stadium. Wide receiver Glasco Martin ran for three touchdowns, running back Lache Seastrunk had 185 yards rushing with an 80-yard score and Baylor moved within one win of bowl eligibility, while handing K-State its first loss after it won its first 10 games of 2012. Senior quarterback Collin Klein became the first quarterback at a Bowl Championship Series (BCS) school to record 20 rushing touchdowns and 10 passing touchdowns in back-to-back seasons. He threw 286 yards on 50 pass attempts, but did throw a career-high three interceptions while under constant pressure most of the night. Nick Florence, the successor to Heisman winner Robert Griffin III, threw for 238 yards. Both of his touchdowns came in the first half when the Bears jumped out to a 28-7 lead. It was on the same weekend last November, on another Saturday night in Waco, when Griffin and Baylor upset then fifth-ranked Oklahoma after two teams ahead of the Sooners had already lost that day. Kansas State has Thanksgiving week off before playing their regular season finale Dec. 1 at home against No. 18 Texas. If the Wildcats beat Texas, they will be guaranteed at least a share of the Big 12 title and get the league's automatic BCS spot. Klein, who finished 27-of-50 passing, had thrown only three interceptions the first 10 games. After Martin’s 2-yard touchdown put Baylor up 287 with 2:54 left in the first half, Kansas State scored 10 consecutive points before the break - and then got the ball to start the second half, only to have Klein throw his second interception. There was a classic 13-yard run by Klein to start the second half, then two deep incompletions before

he was picked off by Sam Holl, who returned it to the Kansas State 38. Four plays later, after a Florence 13yard keeper, Martin scored on a 4-yard run to make it 35-17. The Wildcats then got a 50-yard kickoff return from Tramaine Thompson, but Klein had three consecutive incompletions leading to a punt that pinned Baylor at its 1. Florence threw an interception, Randall Evans grabbing the ball at the 1 but immediately getting dragged down by intended receiver Terrance Williams. Klein plunged in from a yard out on the next play, but that would be the last score for the Wildcats. On the first play after Klein was picked off in the end zone late in the third quarter, Seastrunk took a handoff and raced 80 yards for the score. Chris Harper had 11 catches for 123 yards. His 11 receptions were tied for the seventh most in school history.

Wide receiver Torell Miller hauled in his first career touchdown pass to get K-State on the board.

Collin Klein accounted for three touchdowns in his final home game in a K-State uniform. Klein led the Wildcats to a 35-point second half as they clinched their third conference championship in school history and first since 2003.

MANHATTAN, Kan. - Senior quarterback Collin Klein threw for a touchdown and ran for two scores and No. 7 Kansas State beat No. 23 Texas 42-24 for its second Big 12 Championship and a trip to the Fiesta Bowl. The Wildcats had never played for a conference championship in their last game at home, and had never had a player end the regular season in such close contention for the Heisman Trophy as Klein. Neither of his main competitors, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel nor Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o, played this weekend. So Klein, a multitalented senior, had the stage all to himself, one last chance to burnish his credentials for what would be Kansas State's first Heisman. In front of their sixth sellout in seven home games, the Wildcats tied their team record for victories in a season and matched Oklahoma’s Big 12 record. Kansas State has beaten Texas five in a row. The Sooners beat TCU earlier Saturday and immediately donned caps and T-shirts declaring themselves Big 12 champs. But Kansas State’s 24-19 win at Oklahoma on Sept. 22 gives them the tiebreaker and sends them into the Fiesta Bowl. After a slow start, Klein wound up hitting 8 of 14 passes for 184 yards and added 108 yards rushing on 23 carries. John Hubert scored three touchdowns. Texas led 10-7 at halftime. But with Klein hitting a 29-yard pass and Hubert breaking free for 28 yards, Kansas State soared 75 yards in seven plays, with Hubert scoring from the 2. Hubert also had a 2-yard TD run with 47 seconds left in the third quarter and scored on a 1-yard run for a 35-17 lead with a little more than 3 minutes to go after Drew Liddle recovered Texas’ muffed punt. A few minutes later, Allen Chapman intercepted Case McCoy’s pass and ran it back 35 yards, setting up Klein’s 9-yard TD run for a 42-17 lead with 1:53 left.

McCoy threw a 14-yard TD pass to Jaxon Shipley in the second quarter and a 9-yard pass to Malcom Brown less than 1 minute left in the game. Brown also scored on a 2-yard run in the second quarter. McCoy hit 26-of-34 passes for 314 yards, with two interceptions. He was sacked four times by a swarming Kansas State defense. The Wildcats’ lone touchdown of the first half came on a 1-yard run by Klein and after an embarrassing lapse by defensive back Nigel Malone. With perfect timing, Malone jumped in front of McCoy’s intended receiver on Texas’ second possession, made the interception and sped 30 yards into the end zone. But the ball only traveled the 29. The play was initially ruled a touchdown, but upon review, it was determined Malone had let go of the ball and allowed it drop to the ground just as he was about to step across the goal line. So it was placed on the 1 and Klein plowed into the end zone for his 21st rushing TD of the season and No. 54 for his career.

John Hubert ran for 66 yards and three touchdowns. It was his fourth multi-touchdown game of the season. 2012 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS 65

Following a 33-10 victory over Colorado on November 20, 1982, Kansas State head coach Jim Dickey and the Wildcats celebrate their first ever bowl invitation as the Independence Bowl was on hand to invite the Cats to Shreveport, La.

SHREVEPORT, La. - Wisconsin quarterback Randy Wright tossed two touchdown passes as the Badgers overcame an early Kansas State lead for a hard-earned 14-3 victory over the Wildcats in the seventh annual Independence Bowl. The game, played in cold and wet conditions before an announced crowd of 49,523, marked the first-ever Bowl appearance by Kansas State. A 23 mile-per-hour wind dropped temperatures to 10 below zero and kept many fans away. After a scoreless first quarter, K-State took the game’s first lead with 7:10 left in the second period when Steve Willis booted a 29-yard field goal after defensive end Bob Daniels recovered a fumble at the Badger 18-yard line. The Wildcats’ lead was short-lived, however. On Wisconsin’s ensuing drive following the field goal, the Badgers marched 79 yards in eight plays, scoring a touchdown on a 16-yard pass from Wright to Michael Jones to give UW a 7-3 halftime lead. Wisconsin struck again midway through the third quarter, when game offensive MVP Wright connected with Tim Stracka on an 87-yard touchdown pass for a 14-3 Badger advantage. K-State drove deep into Wisconsin territory on its next two possessions, but was unable to score. One opportunity ended when a Wildcat pass was intercepted in the Badger end

zone, while a second was stymied at the Wisconsin 26-yard line, when K-State could not convert on fourth down. Darrell Ray Dickey completed 13 of 35 passes for 127 yards and one interception on the game for 1982 Big Eight Coach of the Year Jim Dickey’s Wildcat squad. The 35 pass attempts stood as a Kansas State bowl record until 2004, when Ell Roberson’s 51 attempts in the 2004 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl vs. Ohio State.

Darrell Ray Dickey set the then-school mark for pass attempts in the 1982 Independence Bowl with 35 against Wisconsin.

TUCSON, Ariz. - It’s probable that not even Bill Snyder could have scripted the events of Dec. 29, 1993, any better as K-State put the finishing touches on one of its finest football seasons in school history with a breathtaking 52-17 total domination of Wyoming. Wyoming took a quick 3-0 lead on a 35yard field goal, but the rest, as they say, is history. K-State put its high-powered offense into overdrive and scored on its first three possessions. J.J. Smith put K-State on the board with a two-yard TD run as the Wildcats drove 68 yards in just six plays to take a 6-3 lead. Tate Wright added a 22yard field goal, and on its third possession, K-State drove 76 yards in only eight plays to take a 16-3 lead on Chad May’s two-yard TD plunge. With 1:07 left in the first half, Wyoming punted deep in its own territory. All-American Andre Coleman fielded the ball at his own 32, sidestepped two defenders and then raced untouched down the far sideline for a touchdown to put K-State ahead 24-10 at the half. Coleman and company began the second half right where they left off and quickly broke the Cowboys’ spirit with a 61-yard touchdown catch just 54 seconds into the third quarter. Freshman All-American Kevin Lockett then put K-State ahead 38-10 midway through the third quarter with a 30-yard touchdown reception. Reserve running back Leon Ed-

wards later added a 13-yard touchdown run, and cornerback Kenny McEntyre provided the game’s crowning moment with a 37-yard interception return for a touchdown with just over six minutes left in the game. The final numbers were staggering, as the Kansas State offense rolled up 502 yards and averaging 7.5 yards per play.

Tyson Schwieger and the K-State offense rolled up 502 yards in the Wildcats’ 52-17 Copper Bowl victory over Wyoming. 2012 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS 83

HONOLULU, Hawaii - Kansas State played Boston College to a defensive standoff much of the afternoon at Aloha Stadium, but the Wildcat offense never got on track and fell 12-7 in the 1994 Aloha Bowl. The Eagles sacked K-State quarterback Chad May eight times, including a four-hit effort by end Mike Mamula, who was named the game’s most valuable player. Couple that with a ground game that gained just 30 yards and K-State netted just 124 altogether in finishing 9-3. The Eagles couldn’t distance themselves from the Wildcats despite a 51-yard bolt by David Green on the game’s second play. That carry led to an early 7-0 cushion for the Eagles but would be the only touchdown of the day. K-State’s lone score came with eight seconds left in the first quarter when Joe Gordon crashed the middle of BC’s line and blocked a punt by Jeff Beckley. Chris Sublette recovered the ball on the first hop in the end zone and the game was tied, 7-7. However, BC would answer with its own end zone patrol later in the half when Mamula applied the biggest of his hits on May for a safety with 2:37 left. The Wildcats reached the BC 19 on their ensuing drive, but Eric Shorter intercepted a dropped pass in the flat on third-and-15 with 19 seconds left in the half. Still, a defense that featured punter Eric Hardy, Gordon and a pair of 10-tackle per-

formances from Chuck Marlowe and Mario Smith kept the Wildcats within striking distance until the end. BC could only tack on a 35-yard field goal by David Gordon with 1:18 remaining in the second half.

Joe Gordon was chosen as K-State’s MVP in the Aloha Bowl after he blocked a punt leading to the Wildcats’ only score.

A 2005 inductee into the Holiday Bowl Hall of Fame, quarterback Brian Kavanagh was the game’s Offensive MVP in 1995. Kavanagh came off the bench to go 18-of-24 through the air for 242 yards and four touchdowns.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - For the second time in three years, Kansas State ran roughshod over the Western Athletic Conference’s best as the Wildcats outran, outplayed and outscored Colorado State for a 54-21 win in front of more than 51,000 fans at the 1995 Plymouth Holiday Bowl at Jack Murphy Stadium. K-State began the scoring on an Eric Hickson 4-yard run with 11:21 left in the first quarter. After CSU responded with a touchdown to knot the score at 7-7, it was all Kansas State. The Wildcats outscored the Rams, 19-0, in the second quarter by virtue of an interception return by safety Mario Smith and a blocked punt. Brian Kavanagh, who would earn the game’s Offensive MVP award, came in for the injured Matt Miller in the second quarter and immediately put the ball in the end zone. Kavanagh completed 18-of-24 passes for 242 yards and a Holiday Bowl-record tying four touchdowns. The junior signal-caller tossed scoring strikes to Brian Lojka, Tyson Schwieger, Kevin Lockett and Mitch Running. Including Miller’s statistics before he was hurt, the Wildcat quarterbacks combined to complete 24 of 32 passes for 324 yards and four touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, Smith earned MVP honors by picking off two passes, registering two passes broken up, making four tackles and generally creating

havoc among the Ram receivers. The nation’s top-ranked defense held the potent CSU offense to 301 yards, while forcing four turnovers. Individually, Hickson ran for 103 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries, while catching six passes. Running caught six passes for 126 yards and a TD. Freshman punter James Garcia averaged 45.0 yards on three punts.

Free safety Mario Smith earned Defensive MVP honors after picking off two passes, breaking up two more and making four stops. 2012 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS 85

DALLAS, Texas - An estimated 45,000 Kansas State fans descended on Dallas to watch the Wildcats in their first-ever New Year’s Day Bowl and were witness to one of the most exciting games of the bowl season. After taking a 15-5 lead following a 72yard touchdown pass from Brian Kavanagh to Kevin Lockett, the Wildcats saw why BYU quarterback Steve Sarkisian was considered one of the nation’s best. The Cougar QB tossed two fourth-quarter touchdowns to lead No. 5 BYU to a 19-15 Cotton Bowl victory. Following Sarkisian’s 28-yard scoring strike to Kealaluhi with 3:39 remaining in the game, Kavanagh and Lockett led the Wildcats to a first down at the BYU 12-yard line with around one minute remaining. But, Kavanagh’s pass to Jimmy Dean was picked off at the 3-yard line by Omarr Morgan to preserve BYU’s 14th win. The game’s first score came when Cotton Bowl Defensive MVP Shay Muirbrook tackled Kavanagh in the end zone for a safety in the first quarter. After the free kick, BYU scored again on an Ethan Pochman 39-yard field goal. K-State had a hard time getting on track until the final play of the first half. Kavanagh heaved a Hail Mary into the end zone, where, after the ball was deflected by a BYU defender, K-State junior Andre Anderson scooped the ball in for a touchdown. Following the PAT that gave K-State a 7-5

lead, a penalty on BYU forced the teams to return from the locker room so that the Wildcats could try for two points. Mike Lawrence made it pay off by scoring to give KSU an 85 lead heading into halftime. K-State scored its second touchdown of the game when Kevin Lockett bounced off tacklers following a reception on a short slant pattern and raced 72 yards down the left sideline.

BYU’s Steve Sarkisian, now the head coach at Washington, tossed two fourth-quarter touchdowns to rally the Cougars.

After allowing Syracuse to jump out to a 3-0 lead on the first of Nate Trout's three field goals, Bishop led the Wildcats to three consecutive touchdowns in the second quarter. The first came following a failed fake field goal attempt by Syracuse, culminating in a 19-yard pass to McDonald. Bishop followed with a 12-yard TD dash on K-State's next possession, and wrapped up the firsthalf scoring with a 28-yard completion to Justin Swift on a tight end screen. Syracuse scored 12 points in the final 2:18 to close within 21-15 at the half. Following a scoreless third quarter, Bishop and the Wildcats put away the Orangemen with two big plays in the fourth.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The unranked Purdue Boilermakers shocked the No. 4 Kansas State Wildcats, 37-34, in the sixth annual Builders Square Alamo Bowl. More than 30,000 purple-clad fans cheered the Wildcats on in one of the most exciting bowl game finishes in school history. After a scoreless first quarter, both offenses finally got untracked, exploding for 71 points over the final three periods. Unfortunately for K-State, it was the Boilermakers who were the first to get things going, taking a 17-7 halftime lead courtesy of a pair of Drew Brees touchdown passes and a 25-yard Travis Dorsch field goal. Fumble recoveries in the end zone by both squads and another Dorsch field goal, this time with just four seconds to go in the third quarter had Purdue sporting a 27-13 lead heading into the final stanza. But the Wildcats put together a furious rally over the final 15 minutes. David Allen, who rushed for 83 yards on 13 carries, scored from three yards out to get things going before Michael Bishop found an open Darnell McDonald for an Alamo Bowl record 88-yard touchdown strike that pulled the Cats within a field goal at 30-27. Then, with just 1:24 left in the game, Bishop connected with tight end Justin Swift for a two-yard touchdown and a 34-30 K-State lead, its first and only of the game.

Brees then engineered a six-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 24-yard score to Isaac Jones to put the Boilermakers back on top for good at 37-34 with 30 seconds remaining. Pinned back on its own two-yard line, KState saw its hopes dashed when Bishop was intercepted to end the game.

David Allen rushed for 83 yards on 13 carries to lead K-State, including a score from three yards out in the fourth quarter.

K-State’s victory in the 1999 Holiday Bowl clinched the Wildcats’ third straight 11-win season, making K-State and Florida State the only two programs in the nation to accomplish that feat in each of the last three seasons.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Kansas State used a stiff defense and three rushing touchdowns by quarterback Jonathan Beasley to defeat Washington 24-20 in the 1999 Holiday Bowl. Trailing 20-17 late in the third quarter, the Wildcats embarked on a 20-play, 92-yard drive that took 9 minutes, 54 seconds off the clock to score the eventual game-winning touchdown. The drive was set up after senior Lamar Chapman picked off Marques Tuiasosopo. K-State took a 17-13 lead on its first possession of the second half, scoring on an 11-yard touchdown run by Beasley. The Huskies came back with a 73-yard touchdown drive when Maurice Shaw scored on a five-yard run. That score was the first against K-State in the third quarter during the entire season. Beasley completed 15-of-31 passes for 216 yards to go with three rushing touchdowns to earn Offensive MVP honors, while Darren Howard was named Defensive MVP after totaling nine tackles and three sacks. The first half was a back-and-forth affair that saw the Huskies take a 13-10 lead into the locker room. Washington drew first blood when John Anderson booted a 39 yard field goal just 3:32 into the contests. K-State quickly responded as Beasley drove the Cats 47 yards on the ensuing possession, calling his own number from one yard out to cap the eightplay drive.

Anderson hit on his second of two firsthalf field goal attempts to pull Washington with in a point heading into the second quarter. A Jamie Rheem field goal from 41 yards out pushed K-State's lead to 10-6, but the Huskies would put the half's final points on the board on a Pat Conniff three-yard touchdown run midway through the period.

Darren Howard was named Defensive MVP of the Holiday Bowl after collecting nine tackles and three sacks vs. Washington. 2012 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS 89

DALLAS, Texas - Jonathan Beasley threw two touchdowns and rushed for another in leading Kansas State to a 35-21 win over Tennessee in the 65th annual Southwestern Bell Cotton Bowl Classic. The victory gave the Wildcats back-to-back bowl wins for the first time in school history. Beasley, who was named the game's Offensive MVP, had touchdown passes of 56 and 10 yards to Quincy Morgan to key a rally in the second quarter. The touchdown throws, which came three minutes apart, turned a 7-7 tie into a 21-7 Wildcat lead. Tennessee pulled within seven points before halftime when Jabari Greer went 78 yards with an interception for a touchdown. But Kansas State got two touchdown runs from Josh Scobey early in the third quarter to regain its cushion. Scobey finished with 147 yards on a career-high 28 carries in the game, the most yards gained in a bowl game by a Wildcat in school history. Travis Henry 81-yard run late in the game was the final Volunteers' score. Henry finished as the game's leading rusher, gaining 180 yards on 17 carries. Beasley finished with 210 yards passing on a 13-for-27 performance. He also rushed for a career-best 98 yards on 17 carries. The senior put the Wildcats on the scoreboard first with a 14-yard run late in the first quarter. Senior defensive end Chris Johnson was the Defensive MVP after leading the Wild-

cats with four tackles, including two sacks of Tennessee QB Casey Clausen. The Wildcat defense held Clausen to just seven completions and forced three interceptions.

PHOENIX, Ariz. - Syracuse running back James Mungro rushed for 112 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Orangemen to a victory over Kansas State in the 2001 Insight.com Bowl played at Bank One Ballpark. Mungro scored on runs of 65, 1 and 1 yard to pace the Syracuse offense. The Orangemen added a late touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 52-yard pass from Robin Anderson to Johnnie Morant. The Syracuse defense did a good job in stopping Kansas State's running offense, which came into the bowl game ranked fifth in the nation. Despite allowing 46 yards on 10 carries to senior Josh Scobey, the Orangemen held K-State to just 33 net rushing yards. Junior Marc Dunn led the Wildcats with 151 yards passing in relief of starter Ell Roberson. Dunn completed 12 of 25 passes and suffered one interception. Roberson was 2-for-15 for 70 yards for the Wildcats, who were sacked five times by Syracuse. Mungro opened the scoring on his 65-yard run midway through the first quarter. Kansas State responded just two minutes later with a 29-yard field goal by freshman Joe Rheem. The drive was sparked by a 47yard pass from Roberson to Aaron Lockett and a 27-yard carry by Scobey. Syracuse took advantage of a fumble deep in Wildcat territory early in the second quarter. Mungro scored from the 1-yard line to

convert the turnover, but the extra-point was blocked by Josh Buhl. On the next play from scrimmage, Willie Ford got the first of his two interceptions to set up the Orangemen again. Two plays later, Mungro went over from the 1-yard line again, but Buhl also blocked the extra-point.

Kansas State’s defense held Syracuse to 222 total yards of offense, including 113 yards passing, and eight first downs. 2012 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS 91

With three rushing touchdowns, Ell Roberson tied Jonathan Beasley’s school record for rushing touchdowns in a bowl game. Roberson also went 11-of-28 through the air for 215 yards and the game-winning touchdown strike with 1:15 remaining.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Derrick Evans caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Ell Roberson with 1:15 left in the game to lift Kansas State to its first and final lead of the contest, as the Wildcats defeated Arizona State, 34-27, in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. Evans' catch completed a K-State comeback from deficits of 10-0, 20-7 and 27-20 against the Sun Devils. Roberson, voted the Offensive MVP of the game, rushed for 63 yards, including touchdowns of 32, 3 and 1 yards, and passed for 215 yards by completing 11 of 28 throws. Roberson's 32-yard score came with just 54 seconds left in the second half and pulled the Wildcats within 20-14. Just 31 seconds earlier, Mike Barth converted on a 39-yard field goal to give ASU its largest lead of the game at 20-7. K-State tied the game at 20-20 early in the fourth quarter when Roberson capped a 16-play, 65-yard drive with a 3-yard score. Arizona State quarterback Andrew Walter, who threw for 293 yards on 28-for-57 passing, found Mike Williams for a 10-yard score to put the Sun Devils back ahead on the next possession. But the Wildcats responded with an 80yard drive on its next opportunity, setting up Roberson's 1-yard touchdown dive that tied the game again at 27-27 with 6:41 left. The Wildcat defense forced a Sun Devil punt that Terence Newman returned 27 yards. From there, the Wildcats needed

seven plays to cover 59 yards to set up the game-winning touchdown. Arizona State converted two first downs on its final drive, but Rashad Washington batted down Walter's final pass to preserve the win.

Trailing 35-14 heading into the fourth quarter, Ayo Saba scored from three yards out to cap an eight-play, 46-yard drive and closed the game to 14 points. Ell Roberson's second rushing touchdown with just 2:47 to go pulled K-State within a touchdown, setting up a frantic finish. After recovering the ensuing on-sides kick, the Wildcats were flagged for being offsides, forcing a re-kick. This time the Buckeyes recovered at the K-State 36-yard line. But the Wildcats held and got the ball back with 1:12 to play at their own 10-yard. A 21-yard completion to Davin Dennis, who finished with a career-high seven receptions for 113 yards, moved the ball to the K-State 26. On the next play Roberson connected with Jermaine Moreira for 26 yards to the Ohio State 48 to get Kansas State within striking distance. However, Roberson's desperation pass from midfield was batted down at the 2, allowing Ohio State to escape with its second straight Fiesta Bowl victory. Roberson completed 20 passes on a career-high 51 attempts for 294 yards. His 51 attempts were the most ever by a Wildcat in

a bowl game, surpassing Darrell Dickey’s 34 in the 1982 Independence Bowl. Josh Buhl tied a K-State bowl game record with 13 total tackles, equaling Laird Veatch's total from the 1993 Copper Bowl and giving him a K-State single-season record of 184.

Ell Roberson set a K-State bowl record for passing attempts, hitting on 20-of-51 attempts for 294 yards and a pair of scores. 2012 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS 93

HOUSTON, Texas - Kansas State hung with No. 16 Rutgers for 30 minutes, but the Scarlet Knights scored 20 unanswered points in the second half to hand the Wildcats a 3710 loss in the inaugural Texas Bowl before 52,210 fans at Reliant Stadium. Rutgers was as good as advertised and kept K-State off balance all night long. Ray Rice, the Texas Bowl MVP, rushed for 170 yards and a touchdown and Tim Brown caught two TD passes, for the Scarlet Knights, who claimed their first bowl victory in 137 seasons of intercollegiate football. Brown’s two TD catches came in the opening period and staked Rutgers to a quick 14-0 lead. K-State answered with a 44-yard field goal by Jeff Snodgrass - his 17th of the season - and a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown by Yamon Figurs that was the longest in K-State bowl history to close the gap to 14-10 midway through the second quarter. But Jeremy Ito connected on a 37-yard field goal to close the half and linebacker Quintero Frierson returned an interception 27 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage of the second half to put Rutgers comfortably ahead 24-10. Rice sprinted 46-yards for his lone touchdown of the game on the Scarlet Knights’ next possession before Ito closed out the scoring with a pair of fourth-quarter field goals to provide the final margin. The Scarlet Knights’ seventh-ranked de-

fense proved to be too much and held Kansas State at bay all game long. The Wildcats mustered just 162 yards of total offense for its second fewest yards in a bowl game. Junior wide receiver Jordy Nelson led the Wildcat receivers, hauling in four receptions for 81 yards. On defense, senior linebacker Brandon Archer led all players with nine total tackles to finish his career with 268 stops for the 17th-most in school history.

Quarterback Josh Freeman finished the season with 1,780 passing yards in 2006, setting a K-State freshman record.

NEW YORK - The first Pinstripe Bowl turned into a home run derby. Delone Carter ran for 198 yards and two touchdowns, Marcus Sales caught three long TD passes and Syracuse got some help from a celebration penalty on Kansas State to beat the Wildcats 36-34 at Yankee Stadium. Adrian Hilburn slipped a tackle and raced to a 30-yard touchdown catch with 1:13 remaining to pull Kansas State within two. Hilburn saluted the crowd behind the visitor's dugout and was flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct, which pushed the 2-point conversion attempt back to the 17-yard line. Carson Coffman overthrew Aubrey Quarles in the end zone, and when K-State couldn’t come up with the onside kick, Syracuse only had to take a knee to win a bowl game for the first time since 2001. Daniel Thomas ran for three touchdowns for Kansas State, which was making its first bowl appearance since 2006. In a bowl season filled with blowouts so far, the first bowl game in New York in 48 years turned out to be a hit. The teams traded big plays right from the start - Thomas went 51 yards for a score on the second play from scrimmage - and scored touchdowns on the first five second-half possessions. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, sensing field goals would not be enough, called for a fake with about five minutes left in the fourth from the 10, but Syracuse stacked up Ryan Doerr on the run. Carter, who scored two second-half touch-

downs, broke free for a 60-yard run on the next play. It set up Ross Krautman's 40-yard field goal with 3:08 left that made it 36-28. Coffman, who played brilliantly in his last college game, led the Wildcats into Syracuse territory and connected with Hilburn near the sideline about 10 yards down field. After winning a footrace to the end zone, he dropped the ball, did a quick salute and turned to celebrate with his teammates. The flags came flying and the 2-point attempt turned into a desperation play.

Carson Coffman’s 74-percent completion percentage was the second-highest all-time by a Wildcat QB in a bowl game. 2012 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS 95

ARLINGTON, Texas - Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein tied the Big 12 single-season for rushing touchdowns and the NCAA single season record by a quarterback but the No. 8 Wildcats came up short in the 2012 AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic in a 29-16 loss to No. 6 Arkansas. Kansas State (10-3) was trying to match its school record with 11 victories, but still finished a surprising season in Snyder’s second Wildcats turnaround. K-State won 11 games six times during a seven-year span in Snyder's first tenure before his three-year retirement, and almost reached that mark again in his third season back. After being held to 15 yards on 12 carries in the first half, Klein finished the opening drive of the third quarter with a 6-yard TD run that got the Wildcats to 19-16. That came after Klein had a 15-yard run on the previous play. That matched the Big 12 record for rushing touchdowns held by 1998 Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams of Texas. The only other FBS quarterback with 27 rushing touchdowns in a season was Ricky Dobbs for Navy in 2009. Klein finished with 42 yards on 24 carries, while completing 16 of 30 passes for 173 yards. Arkansas’ Tyler Wilson was 20 of 31 for 216 yards. Jarius Wright had three catches for 88 yards and a 45-yard touchdown. The Cotton Bowl was the only non-BCS game with both teams in the top 10 of the Bowl Championship Series standings -- Arkansas came in sixth, Kansas State eighth. It also is the only bowl featuring the SEC vs. the Big 12, the top two conferences in the BCS computer rankings.

The Razorbacks didn’t even get a first down until 12 1/2 minutes left in the first half when Dennis Johnson opened a drive with a 28-yard run. That drive ended with the second of Zach Hocker’s three field goals, a 22-yarder. K-State blocked the extra point and Nigel Malone returned it for two points. It was 19-9 at halftime after Klein threw a 3yard TD pass to Andrew McDonald with 26 seconds left in the first half. That score was set up after Wilson was sacked by Adam Davis and fumbled at the Hogs’ 13.

Nigel Malone returned a Raphael Guidry blocked PAT for two points in the second quarter.
