Jesse Ertz latest K-State QB to play hurt and win

Watching a quarterback play hurt is nothing new for Kansas State football fans.

Collin Klein shrugged off myriad injuries during his two seasons as a starter, Jake Waters delayed surgery on his right shoulder to finish out his senior year and now Jesse Ertz is throwing through pain.

It’s practically a rite of passage.

“That is just how Kansas State is,” backup quarterback Joe Hubener said this week. “We preach toughness day in, day out. If you’ve got bumps and bruises, you have got to fight through it.”

Healthy or not, the Wildcats trust their quarterbacks to get the job done.
