Camouflage was prominent Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium during the Wildcats 41-7 victory over Iowa State.

It was Fort Riley day and the Wildcats payed tribute to the troops by having camouflage powercat decals on their helmets which is something that you wouldn’t normaly see out of a Bill Snyder led team. Coach Snyder generally doesn’t change the teams uniform away from it’s either home or away uniforms.

Snyder said that the idea to add the camouflage decals was brought to him by his son Sean Snyder, Associate Head Coach and Special teams Coordinator, and the teams equipment manager,”I thought it was a good a idea, I’m not all that fuddy duddy.”

Senior Safety Ty Zimmerman grew up around the military in Junction City and said being able to honor the military was huge,”I’ve had friends who’s families have been in the service and friends that are in the service right now so it’s definately a special time for us today and I’m glad they could come out and enjoy it.”

K-State’s defense started it off for the wildcats stopping the cyclones on the first drive of the game when ISU went for it on fourth down at the KSU 35 yard line and came up two yards short. The Wildcat offense took over on their own 27 yard line and 7 plays later John Hubert found the endzone on a 9 yard run.

The Wildcats added another field goal in the first quarter and Daniel Sams added a another Touchdown with :41 seconds left in the first half to go up 17-0 heading into half time.

K-State came out in the second half and put together a 9 play drive that ended in a 42 yard field goal by Jack Cantele. The Wildcats didn’t score again until 10:57 left in the 4th quarter on a 3 yard run by Hubert. K-State scored two more times in the 4th quarter going up 41-0.

Iowa State’s only time in the red zone came after the Cyclones recovered a Robert Rose fumble on the KSU 10 yard line. The Cyclones scored on the next play off of a 10 yard run by DeVondrick Nealy.

The Wildcats picked up their second conference victory and moved back to even on the season at 4-4. They travel to Texas Tech next weekend to take on the Red Raiders.
