Penalties on Texas, a near-complete inability to stop K-State on third down, and some gutsy playcalling by the Wildcat offense are the story of the day so far as K-State heads into the locker room with a 21-7 lead.
K-State struck first on the opening drive, aided by what seemed like a hundred offsides penalties on Texas and a holding call in the end zone. One of those offsides calls resulted in a 31-yard pickup as Jesse Ertz took advantage of the free play to hit Deante Burton on the sideline. Some luck was in play as well; a tipped pass resulted in Isaiah Zuber diving to grab a wounded duck for a seven-yard gain.
