Kansas State beat Texas Tech 31-21 yesterday to move to 2-0 and to the top of the conference standings, along with Iowa State and Oklahoma State. The game was closer than the scoreline suggests, and owed much to late-game heroics from a trio of players new to Kansas State football.
As Jon Morse notes in the BotC recap, two freshmen, Deuce Vaughn and Will Howard teamed up to win the game for the Wildcats. For his part, Vaughn racked up 113 rushing yards and two touchdowns, and has performed well beyond expectation.
