Tech notes: K-State run game less prolific, still a worry for Red Raiders

Kansas State has beaten Texas Tech four years in a row, scoring 41, 55, 49 and 45 points.

The Wildcats rank only 71st in the FBS in rushing offense this season, but the Red Raiders still expect to see quarterback Joe Hubener and running backs Charles Jones and Justin Silmon carrying the ball a lot against them on Saturday at Jones Stadium.

Hubener leads K-State in rushing with 411 yards, followed by Jones with 378 and Silmon with 311.

“They’re a ball-control offense,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said Tuesday. “They’re happy with taking 3 yards a pop, letting the (play) clock run down to one second left.
