The K-State Wildcats improved to 3-0 Saturday, overcoming a slow start at Bill Snyder Family Stadium to earn a 31-20 victory over the Tulane Green Wave.

 

Head coach Collin Klein says his defense gave up some yardage to Tulane, but he was proud of how the Wildcats forced the Green Wave to settle for field goals, which he believes played an important role in the outcome.

 

K-State will hit the road for the first time this season when the Wildcats travel to Cincinnati this Saturday to begin Big 12 play. Coverage will be on the Mighty 690.

 

Meanwhile, the Kansas Jayhawks dropped to 1-2 after falling to Arizona State 24-17 in London, England.

 

Kansas struggled to get its offense going until the fourth quarter, but couldn’t do enough to overcome the Sun Devils. Head coach Lance Leipold says consistency remains an issue on that side of the ball, though the Jayhawks have shown flashes of success.

 

The Jayhawks will have a bye week to work on areas that need improvement before returning home to face Middle Tennessee on October 3, ahead of the start of Big 12 play.
