K-State posts commanding victory over Volunteers.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
DALLAS _ Late in the frigid Cotton Bowl, a frustrated and weary Tennessee linebacker offered Kansas State guard Andy Eby a piece of advice.
"You might as well keep running that play," he told Eby, "because we can't stop it."
The play was the option engineered by K-State quarterback Jonathan Beasley, and the Wildcats did keep running it.
The option, combined with dashes by tailback Josh Scobey and an occasional big-play pass from Beasley to Quincy Morgan stunned a vaunted Volunteer defense for 507 yards of offense and produced a commanding 35-21 victory for the Wildcats on Monday.
No. 11 K-State nearly doubled Tennessee in the number of offensive snaps as it won its 11th game of the season for the fourth straight year.
"Only two teams have done that in the history of college football," KSU coach Bill Snyder said. "To me, that is as significant as anything that happened today."
The game didn't lack for significant happenings. KSU, 11-3, rushed for 297 yards against a UT defense that had allowed 74 per game in the Southeastern Conference.
