Less than three full days after he coordinated the offense as the interim coordinator Kansas State’s blow-out win over LSU in the Texas Bowl, Collin Klein has been named the full-time offensive coordinator by head coach Chris Klieman.
This move became expected after K-State’s offense looked better than it had all season in the Texas Bowl, where the Wildcats racked up 442 yards of offense on 62 plays (good for 7.1 ypp), and Deuce Vaughn set school records for points in a bowl game in the 42-20 demolishing. There was also high praise from Klieman for how well-prepared the unit looked in the practices leading up to the game.
