On Saturday, Kansas State defeated in-state rival Kansas 29-27 to extend its win streak to four games. In the win, the Wildcats’ offense was spectacular, amassing 482 total yards of offense while only committing one turnover.

Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson completed 19-of-his-34 pass attempts for 253 yards and two touchdowns without throwing an interception. Running back DJ Giddens led the way in the ground game, boasting a team-high 102 rushing yards on 18 carries.

However, perhaps no Wildcat was more pivotal to the team’s win than kicker Chris Tennant, who drilled a 51-yard field goal to give Kansas State the lead with 1:42 left in the fourth quarter. Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman never doubted Tennant.

“The last month of watching Chris Tennant, I knew that was going in,” Klieman said. “I had no doubt in my mind. There was nobody on our sideline that had any doubt. It was exciting for him to be able to do that, being a senior from Kansas.”

Kansas State isn’t the only team coming off a win. On Saturday, the Cougars defeated Utah 17-14 with a last-second field goal. In the win, Houston’s backfield was extraordinary, notching 230 yards and 4.7 yards per carry.

J’Marion Burnette particularly excelled, recording a game-high 81 rushing yards on only eight carries. Of course, Houston’s offense wasn’t solely responsible for the win. The Cougars’ defense squeezed two turnovers out of the Utes, as well.

Houston head coach Willie Fritz was proud of his team’s resiliency in the nail-biting win.

“There was a whole bunch of ups and downs in the game,” Fritz said. “There was a couple of opportunities for us to score on fourth and goal from the one and we didn’t get it done. A lot of guys would cave in during that time, but we found a way to win.”
