MANHATTAN — Kansas State football did what it was supposed to do when opening the season against a lesser opponent and setting the tone for the start of the season.
The Wildcats won the game 71-3 against Nicholls to open the Collin Klein era on Saturday, Sept. 5, at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. It was the first time K-State had scored 70 or more points in a game since scoring 76 against Ball State in 2000.
Here's how we graded the Wildcats' performance.
The Wildcats cruised, and quarterback Avery Johnson played a clean game, while they showed some promise in their ability to run the ball. The much-discussed banged-up offensive line held up. The only negative was Jay Harris' lost fumble.
It was great on paper, but you do wonder how it would have looked if Nicholls had a quarterback who could throw an accurate ball. Nicholls missed several wide-open receivers throughout the evening. Can't complain too much after Darien Whitaker created a turnover off of a strip sack.
