AMES, Iowa — Kansas State’s offense didn’t finish in style, managing only nine total yards in the fourth quarter, but up to that point the Wildcats showed some flair and continued to expand the playbook.
Quarterback Jesse Ertz displayed his dual-threat skills, rushing for a career-high 106 yards — 54 on one first-quarter breakaway — while completing 18 of 28 passes for 151 yards and one touchdown in his eighth career start.
“Personally, we just try to improve each week,” Ertz said. “I made some mistakes, and that’s obvious, but whatever we have to do to get a win … I’m happy with that.
