Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman, 58, is expected to announce his retirement after seven seasons in Manhattan, ending a tenure that produced a 54-37 record, six bowl trips, and a Big 12 title.

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.

Wildcats erased a double-digit deficit and led late behind Abdi Bashir Jr.’s 26-point outburst, but a foul with under a second left lifted Nebraska to an 86-85 Hall of Fame Classic win.
