Player of the game

Alex Barnes: Without usual starter Skylar Thompson at quarterback the Wildcats didn’t have much of a passing attack to speak of, and the Jayhawks knew it. So KU defenders focused on stopping K-State’s ground game. But Barnes still rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries. He was K-State’s offense on Saturday.
