Kansas State beat UCF 44-31 in front of a sellout crowd at Bill Snyder Family Stadium last night. It was a spot of redemption for the Wildcats after last week’s disappointment, and a bit of a rude welcome to the Big 12 for the Knights, who played well but couldn’t string together enough consistency in the second half to pull the upset.
As Jon Morse notes in his recap, this game was mostly DJ Giddens doing his thing, whether running the ball or catching it. He had 293 yards of offense (207 yards rushing, 86 yards receiving) along with four touchdowns, a stellar single-game performance outdone at K-State only by some guy named Darren Sproles.
