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
