The Wildcats won this past Saturday against the Texas Tech Red Raiders and, once again, it was a slugfest with the toughest team winning out in the end.  This week, K-State’s special teams really contributed in this game with 2 blocked field goals (both by Guidry) and a 100-yd kickoff return for a touchdown (Lockett).

The Cats rose in the polls to #12 and will be traveling to Lawrence this weekend for the Sunflower Showdown against the Jayhawks.  KU has not won a conference game this year and it seems unlikely that they will at all.  Therefore, we have a really great chance to return undefeated to Manhattan the following week against #3 Oklahoma Sooners.  It has been announced that the game will be at 2:30 and televised nationally on ESPN.  What a turnaround for a team that barely won its first game against Eastern Kentucky!

Here’s hoping for a big victory on Saturday – a birthday gift, indeed.
