What would happen if Kansas State used Alex Barnes like a workhorse running back?
It’s a question K-State football fans have been asking all season, and they finally got their answer during a 42-21 Wildcats victory over Baylor on Saturday at McLane Stadium.
Barnes, a bruising yet seldom-used rusher, took control of K-State’s backfield in the second half and erupted for 129 yards and four touchdowns. He hurdled a defender for his first score, bulldozed a defender for his second, slipped through a crowd for his third and easily crossed the goal line on his fourth.
