Kansas State will look to remain unbeaten on Saturday when it hosts Tulane in the final nonconference game of the season. The Wildcats, under head coach Collin Klein, have opened the year with two commanding victories, outscoring their opponents 105-10. A win would move K-State to 3-0.
Offensively, the Wildcats have leaned on a potent rushing attack that ranks among the nation's best, spearheaded by running backs Rodney Fields Jr. and Joe Jackson. Defensively, K-State has been equally stingy, allowing just 288 total yards in its most recent outing.
Tulane enters the matchup with a 1-1 record and is adjusting to a new chapter after reaching the College Football Playoff a season ago.
Game Recap
First Quarter
15:00 – K-State wins the coin toss and elects to defer.
10:39 – The Wildcats force a three-and-out on Tulane's opening drive, with the defense swarming to the ball much like it did last Saturday. On offense, Avery Johnson completed two passes to Jaron Tibbs, but the drive stalled and ended in a punt after an incomplete pass on third down.
7:55 – For the first time this season, the K-State defense surrenders a touchdown. Tulane generated explosive plays through the air and on the ground, culminating in a 9-yard scoring run by quarterback Kadin Semonza to give the Green Wave a 7-0 lead.
