Morgan Burns destroyed Kansas in the first quarter. The rest of the team held on.
On a cold and damp afternoon in Lawrence, Kansas, the Kansas State Wildcats (5-7, 2-6 Big 12) may have managed to stumble into a bowl game with a resounding 45-14 win over the rival Kansas Jayhawks, who completed a winless 2015 with the loss.
There are only 75 teams with the required six wins to achieve automatic bowl eligibility. There are only three 5-6 teams left, with K-State being one. Even if South Alabama upsets Appalachian State and Georgia State upsets Georgia Southern next week, there would still be only 77 bowl-eligible teams to fill 80 spots.
