BY DREW DAVISON

TCU lost players to ejection and injury. The defense gave up big plays and didn’t register a sack until the fourth quarter. The offense went three-and-out almost half the time. The special teams had a field goal blocked. And the list goes on.

All of it paved the way for Kansas State to leave with a 21-14 victory over TCU on Saturday afternoon at Amon G. Carter Stadium.

"K-State true freshman Will Howard made his first college start at QB with senior Skylar Thompson sidelined with an injury.'

Makes it even worse when you think about it.

"Patterson wasn’t ready to break down his offensive efforts afterward, saying: “I don’t know until I watch the film. I’ll tell ya later."

To roughly quote the wonderful Dan Jenkins: "Why do Coaches always have to "look at the film"? Ask any player and they'll tell you that they lost because somebody fumbled the football or some dumbass missed a block."

He must be a masochist to want to break down that game's film.
