K-State offense has lost its grip with early season fumbles

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Through three games, it’s not hard to figure out Kansas State’s Achilles heel in 2018.

The Wildcats already have fumbled seven times with opponents capitalizing on four of those mistakes. K-State only lost five fumbles all of last season. In 2012, when the Wildcats were among the nation’s best teams, they lost just three fumbles over the course of a 13-game season.

A lack of ball security isn’t something veteran coach Bill Snyder is used to seeing from his squad.

“One that we lost was a great defensive play and perhaps unavoidable,” Snyder said.
