A couple of stats from last night's game:
K-State rushed for 261 yards
Texas rushed for 140 yards
K-State passed for 9 yards
Texas passed for 272 yards
Obviously, Texas smoked us in total yardage. K-State didn't need to march all the way down the field, though, to be successful in this game, because Texas couldn't do anything right, all game. Nothing seemed to go their way. There were times when I almost felt sorry for them. The cards were simply stacked against them. Their quarterback didn't help the matter. Gilbert passed 5 interceptions in last night's game. 5 interceptions!!! Some qb's don't have 5 interceptions in a season! I was shocked when we got the third one, after that all I could say as I watched was, "Really?! Really?!" I'm sure many Texas fans were sharing those words, but in much more frustrated tone of voice. After a frustrating early game for Texas fans, Texas finally scored a touchdown and got on the board, only to have a holding penalty take their points away. They failed to convert again on that run. Texas' qb Gilbert managed to complete more passes into K-State hands than K-State's surprise starter Collin Klein did. It was just an amazing game for us, and Texas just couldn't get it together. Reminded me a lot of the KU game earlier this season. For more recap and game highlights see espn.com. Go State!!
Oh yeah, by the way, we STILL own Texas! :)

It was a fun game to watch, unless you are or "were" a Texas fan. So what did you get to eat? I will watch today's BB game and see if Frank will get them to play better as a team. They have some new talent that I thought played okay in the first game but in whole they didn't play as a team which should come along with coaching and practice.
