Filed under: , , , Kansas State and UCLA engaged in a ground war all afternoon, but a few quick air strikes nearly decided the game. K-State ended up with a 31-22 victory.

K-State QB Carson Coffman hit Brodrick Smith on a short play-action touchdown pass to give the Wildcats a 24-16 lead with two minutes left. But the Bruins came right back, with QB Kevin Prince getting UCLA into the end zone on two long pass plays. The ensuing two-point
conversion attempt, however, failed.

The Wildcats' ground attack finished the job, with RB Daniel Thomas capping a career game with his second touchdown, this one a 35-yard breakout which sealed the game. Thomas ended up with 234 yards on the day, as K-State relied on its rushing attack, turning to the run 53 times in 70 plays from scrimmage.

Prince had a rough game overall, completing just nine of 26 passes and tossing two interceptions. Before the closing TD drive, Prince had less than 60 yards through the air. His counterpart Coffman wasn't particularly prolific either, finishing the game with 67 yards. But he was efficient, completing 11-of-16 in support of the Wildcats' run game. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments...(Read Full Article)

Filed under: For the first time in 34 years, Florida State played a game without Bobby Bowden manning the sidelines. Jimbo Fisher made his debut as Bowden's replacement and the results on Saturday were quite stellar, as the 'Noles thrashed Samford 59-6.

Heisman candidate Christian Ponder attempted just 14 passes in his one half of work, but made the most of his limited action. He completed 12 of those tosses for 158 yards and four touchdowns. He did throw an interception, though, putting a slight black mark on an otherwise sparkling day.

Sophomore running back Ty Jones also starred for the Seminoles, going for 108 yards and a touchdown on just eight carries.

Even the special teams got into the action for No. 20 Florida State, as Greg Reid took a punt 73 yards to paydirt in the second quarter.

Fisher and his Seminoles face a much tougher test next weekend, as they travel to Norman, Okla. to square off against the No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners.
