We played really well late in the third quarter and in the fourth quarter.” 'We needed to stand up in the second half and show that people aren’t going to push us around at home. We got out of rhythm on offense and didn’t tackle well on defense. We got up 13-0 and then played poorly in the second quarter. “We got off to a great start in the first half. “I’m proud of our guys’ resolve in the second half,” Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said. Trey Wolff kicked a 51-yard field goal for Tech before the break, then tied the score at 20-20 with a 39-yard field goal midway through the third quarter. After gaining just 48 yards of total offense, the Red Raiders went 86 yards on nine plays, capped by a 6-yard touchdown pass from Smith to Nehemiah Martinez. Tech cut the lead to 13-7 with 1:24 left in the first half. You can’t come in and do that against a really good K-State team.”

But we’ve just got to do a better job playing cleaner early. “The guys fought back, got the score tied. “We’ve got to find a way to play better early on the road,” Tech coach Joey McGuire said. The Wildcats also got a pair of field goals from Chris Tennant after drives stalled. Me and Khalid are going to take down every offense we come (against).” “That’s what’s going to happen all season. “We proved we’re a physical team and we’re not backing down on any competition,” Anudike-Uzomah said. But he was sacked six times, three each by Felix Anudike-Uzomah and Khalid Duke. They opened up some big holes.”ĭonovan Smith was 34-for-48 passing for 359 yards and two TDs for Texas Tech (3-2, 1-1). “That’s a testament to the O-linemen and the guys blocking downfield.

“One of the things we talked about at halftime was we had to have some people step up and make some explosive plays,” Vaughn said. Martinez and Vaughn combined for three runs of at least 50 yards, plus another that was nullified by a holding penalty. He was 12-for-19 passing for 116 yards for Kansas State (4-1, 2-0 Big 12), while Deuce Vaughn had 170 rushing yards for the Wildcats, who extended their winning streak against the Red Raiders to seven games. Martinez rushed for 171 yards and three touchdowns and threw for another score to lead No.
