Snyder back to work for unbeaten, No. 6 Kansas St

"Coach tells us all the time, 'Keep playing,'" Klein said. "Sometimes good things are going to happen, sometimes bad things are going to happen. You just have to keep playing."

As poorly as the Wildcats played in the first half, they were dominant in the second.

As well as the Jayhawks played in the first half, well, you get the picture.

Kansas quarterback Dayne Crist was 7 of 8 for 77 yards and a touchdown on the game's opening drive, but was 9 of 21 for 112 yards with three interceptions after it. He lost a fumble, was sacked five times and gave way to redshirt freshman Michael Cummings late in the game.

Jayhawks coach Charlie Weis said not to put much stock into the move at quarterback, but he also indicated that after another lopsided defeat, changes could be necessary.

"I think I've got to be objective and look at every position," Weis said, "and quarterback's got to be included with everything else."

Crist is completing exactly half of his passes, with three TDs and seven interceptions.

Perhaps even more troubling for Kansas (1-4, 0-2) was that Tony Pierson left the game early and never returned. The Jayhawks' leading rusher and second-leading receiver was scheduled to have tests for an undisclosed injury, and Weis said he wasn't sure of his status.

"Tony's one of our few home-run hitters," Weis said. "He goes down, and it isn't like you haven't practiced other guys to do the same jobs, but they're not the same player."

Kansas State has been fortunate when it comes to injuries this season, and that remained the case Saturday, when Klein and most of the starters sat the fourth quarter to be safe.

There was no need to play them in a game so far out of hand.

The Wildcats had already proven once more they're the pre-eminent team in the Sunflower State, piling up at least 50 points for the third straight year and winning their fourth Governor's Cup in a row. Now, they'll turn their attention to bigger things still to come.

Snyder was already at it Sunday morning.
