In a first half which was fundamentally indistinguishable from a Big Ten game, the Kansas State Wildcats enter halftime with a 10-6 lead over the TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth.
Inexplicably, this game has been a ground-pounding punt-fest. The Wildcat defense has been nails, holding TCU — who started Foster Sawyer at quarterback rather than Kenny Hill — to two field goals. K-State has run the ball very well, and a terrible Winston Dimel fumble while the Cats were blasting their way downfield may be the difference between 10-6 and 17-3.
K-State already has 192 yards rushing, 95 from Jesse Ertz (who scored on a 32-yard run) and 64 from Justin Silmon.
