Defense carries Kansas State to 21-16 home victory over Texas Tech

If this turns out to be Bill Snyder’s final home game as Kansas State’s football coach, he will remember it fondly.

The Wildcats put together a defensive masterpiece and defeated the Texas Tech Red Raiders 21-6 on a cold Saturday afternoon at Snyder Family Stadium.

It was far from a perfect outing, as K-State only managed one touchdown in front of a crowd that was easily the smallest of the season. Still, it was one of the team’s strongest efforts of the year.

K-State (5-6, 3-5 Big 12) kept its bowl hopes alive and made Texas Tech (5-6, 3-5) look like a Big Ten team, holding its high-octane offense without a touchdown for the first time since early last season.
