Kansas State kick returner takes out Bill Snyder

Good on you, Coach.

“He needed it, and I told him I needed it more than he does”, Strong said.

A 76-year-old coach getting hit by one of his players might usually be cause for concern… but what if that 76-year-old coach is Bill Snyder?

“It doesn’t feel that long… but man…”, junior quarterback Joe Hubener said.

K-State went on to score its only touchdown of the game a few minutes later. After the Red River debacle, many fans wondered how Oklahoma’s mental state would be as they prepared to face the well-coached Wildcats in Manhattan, a team with, just like Texas, a run-first philosophy.

K-State running back Charles Jones continued a hot streak of recent play, rushing for 122 yards.

In the space of a week, the Oklahoma football season went from the lowest lows to the highest highs.

“I think the biggest thing that allowed that to happen was young guys realizing that there was a reason for them to be confident if they did things that they hadn’t done up to that point of time”, Snyder said.

Senior left tackle Cody Whitehair said the season doesn’t get any bigger for the Wildcats than this weekend’s game at Texas, where K-State last won in 2011. “I haven’t experienced that here”.

“I think the biggest thing we compared it to is that a couple years ago the football team started 2-4”, Davis said. That team turned it around, and they took it upon themselves to turn it around. “We have to take it upon ourselves as players to turn it around”.
