Instead of a trouncing, the Stanford Cardinal had trouble putting away a feisty Kansas State Wildcat team late in Friday nights 26-13 win, as the defense for both teams showed up in a big way.
Early on the Cardinal offense looked explosive as Ryan Burns looked fantastic running the offense and ended with 156 yards. He hit Michael Rector for 40 yards and a touchdown and did not see his first incompletion till late in the second quarter. Then a strange switch at quarterback to give Chryst a drive effectively killed the offensive momentum and the Cardinal petered out for most of the game.
