With an additional 19-yard reception, he finished with 312 total yards, the second-highest single-game mark in school history. He is the first K-State player to top 300 all-purpose yards since 2014.

K-State’s offensive line helped produce 472 rushing yards, breaking a 71-year-old school record. The Wildcats averaged 11.2 yards per carry and totaled 574 yards of offense, tied for the eighth most in program history.
