WACO -- Alex Barnes rushed 120 of his 129 yards and all four touchdowns in the second half, and Kansas State doubled up Baylor 42-21 on Saturday.
The win was the first for the Wildcats (6-4, 4-3 Big 12) in Waco since 2002 and made them bowl eligible for the seventh straight season. Baylor (6-4, 3-4) dropped its fourth straight after a 6-0 start.
"You always have to finish," Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. "Sometimes we have, sometimes we haven't. You take two ballgames that have gone down to the wire, that shouldn't have, that go down to the last snap of the ballgame.
