The Kansas State Wildcats held the Texas Longhorns scoreless Saturday 23-0 as the Wildcats improved to 6-1 and 4-0 in the Big 12.

Kansas State’s Defense held Texas to under 200 yards of total offense, while recovering one fumble and holding them to a three and out on their first three possessions. Coach Bill Snyder said after the game that holding the Longhorns to a three and out on their first three possessions was major.

“That’s something that we try to get indoctrinated to the best we possibly can,” said Snyder. “Probably had some other opportunities to put a couple of pass interceptions on the ground, we can’t do that. There’s mistakes that are there but collectively we played well, played aggressively, pursued well, tackling was improved over last week. I was pleased.”

Offensively Kansas State put up 367 total yards offense, 224 yards passing and 143 yards rushing. The Wildcats only scored two touchdowns, a three yard run by DeMarcus Robinson in the second quarter and a one yard run by Charles Jones in the fourth quarter. Matthew McCrane kicked three field goals in the game including K-States first two scores, his longest was a 38 yard kick in the third quarter.

The win made Kansas State bowl eligible for the fifth consecutive season, and the 16th time under Snyder.
