MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) Kansas State has to replace one of the most prolific quarterbacks in school history, not to mention a wide receiver now playing in the NFL and a handful of other starters.

No surprise that few people outside the Vanier Football Complex expect much of the Wildcats.

Then again, expectations beyond the Flint Hills have typically been low for the program that Bill Snyder built into one of the best in college football. But year after year, the Wildcats seem to surpass even the most optimistic of prognosticators, challenging for Big 12 superiority with what is typically a hodge-podge roster of unheralded recruits and walk-ons.
