Kansas State beat South Dakota 34-0 to kick off its 2022 campaign.
It’s hard to say much about a game where the Wildcats comfortably beat an opponent they were meant to beat. The outcome itself was never in doubt and it was nice to come away with an emphatic win.
But it’s also true that a win like this isn’t an especially useful data point. We didn’t necessarily learn anything new about the team. In his first game for Kansas State, Adrian Martinez was adequate to the task. He didn’t set the world on fire with his passing game, but he ran well, and importantly, he didn’t throw an interception and even his one fumble on a blindside blitz wasn’t a disaster.
