Saturday was abject horror for Kansas State, but as we’ll see in a moment Sunday was no better. It’s going to be a rough September all around, since 12 days from now the Wildcats will have to visit Oklahoma after a terrible season opener. There are plenty of excuses to be made, but we’re all going to have to accept the awful truth: Oklahoma is going to have the same excuses at their disposal.
In the final analysis, as Dennis Dodd pointed out for CBS, it turns out that Arkansas State was missing nine starters, while K-State was only lacking five players from the entire two-deep at kickoff.
