What an ugly, stupid, beautiful game the Wildcats provided last Saturday. It was the college football equivalent of a root canal, but if you have a rotten tooth the end result of a root canal is positive, despite the pain along the way. Getting to the final whistle wasn’t fun, but the end result puts K-State in position to attack the back half of the schedule following a perfectly timed week off. We’ve seen this type of game from K-State in the past, and the results haven’t always been positive (cough Tulane cough) but if you’re going to put together a conference championship winning season, you’re going to need to win a few games where you don’t play well.
