For much of the season, Kansas State has struggled to find a rhythm, often floundering on offense with the game on the line. Yesterday, all that came to a quick and definitive end. Kansas State is a running team. Forget about balance. Forget about the complex passing game. The Wildcats are just going to run the ball right down the field.
Consider this, for example. Yesterday against Baylor, Kansas State only attempted 25 passes, but as a team, the Wildcats had 51 carries for 237 yards. Everyone who could run the ball ran it yesterday. Jesse Ertz had 17 carries for a paltry 46 yards, but that included an electric 40-yard run where Ertz turned a bad play into a highlight reel moment.
