The 19th-ranked Kansas State Wildcats were not exactly hospitable in Brad Lambert's return to his alma mater. The 49ers head coach, who played for KSU from 1984-87, watched the home team race to a 21-0 first quarter lead on its way to a 55-7 victory in front of a crowd of 50,807.
The Wildcats (2-0) went 75 yards on the opening drive to go ahead, 7-0 and QB Jesse Ertz rushed for a 35-yard touchdown on the second possession to push the lead to 14-0. A Pick Six by Kendall Adams, the second the 49ers have thrown on the young season, gave KSU the 21-0 cushion.
