Wildcat Felix Anudike-Uzomah set a new school and Big 12 record six sacks while also tying the NCAA single-game record. TCU had two opportunities to score inside the 5 yard line, but the Kansas State defense held—the first time for the year that the Horned Frogs did not score while in the red zone.[5]

Kansas State took the lead in the first quarter and held it for the entire game. TCU managed to pull within 7-3 in the second quarter, but Kansas State made it 14-3 on the next series with a 42-yard run by Deuce Vaughn.[6]

TCU managed a safety and also produced some quality plays, including Kendre Miller on a 61-yard carry to the 2-yard line—but TCU could not complete the final two yards in four plays for a score. Their only score by the offense was a field goal. TCU did hold Kansas State scoreless in the third quarter.[5]

On Sunday after the game, TCU fired head coach Gary Patterson and will have Jerry Kill take over on an interim basis.[7]
