MANHATTAN – Kansas State did not need any defensive touchdowns Saturday.
Charlotte, a Conference-USA opponent playing just its fifth season of football, was completely outmanned. With 493 yards overall and touchdowns on each of the first two possessions, the No. 19 Wildcats pasted the 49ers 55-7 in Snyder Family Stadium.
Still, do not dare suggest to the K-State defense that it should forget about scoring.
Since 1999, K-State leads the nation in non-offensive touchdowns and defense plays a part.
Anyone curious about what was so special in 1999, and why the non-offensive scoring derby is first associated with that season, was offered a reminder in Saturday’s rout.
