On a bitter, windy day in Manhattan, Joe Jackson’s three TDs carried K-State past Colorado 24–14, scraping to 6–6 and just barely into bowl season.

Kansas State fell 43–20 to No. 13 Texas Tech after a four-turnover night in Manhattan. Avery Johnson ran for two touchdowns, but the Wildcats couldn’t overcome Behren Morton’s return and a dominant Red Raider defense.

Kansas State coach Chris Klieman praised his team after a convincing 42-17 win over Kansas, but the Wildcats quickly turn their focus to a huge home matchup against No. 13 Texas Tech. With star QB Behren Morton expected back for Tech and K-State missing RB Dylan Edwards, Saturday’s clash at Bill Snyder Family Stadium promises intensity as both teams fight to stay in Big 12 title contention.
