MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) Kansas State coach Bill Snyder spent his 76th birthday doing what he has for most of the past three decades: Trying to figure out how to slow down an opponent.

This year happened to be No. 2 TCU, a tougher one than most.

''If you fall behind with a team like that, it is pretty difficult to get back on the table,'' Snyder said grimly this week, ''and that is what happens to a lot of teams.''

It is certainly what happened to Texas, which was routed 50-7 by the Horned Frogs (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) last weekend.
