Ertz runs, passes Cats past TCU
FORT WORTH, Texas — Kansas State hasn’t changed many games with pass plays this year.
But that’s what happened on Saturday at TCU.
K-State quarterback Jesse Ertz found Byron Pringle on a cross route to the middle of the field, and Pringle took off to the races for an 83-yard touchdown reception to put the Wildcats ahead 17-6 in the opening minutes of the second half.
The Wildcat run game took care of the rest, and K-State finished off the regular season with a 30-6 win over the Horned Frogs. It’s the first time TCU was held without a touchdown since 2006.
The Ertz-Pringle connection came on the Wildcats’ first possession of the second half, after leading 10-6 at the intermission.
