Quarterback Carter Stanley finished 12–29 in passing with 84 yards, but the Jayhawks managed to score in the fourth quarter to avoid being shut out. The game ended with TCU scoring 51 to the Jayhawks' 14.[3]

Both Texas Christian and Kansas State entered the game having a week off from the regular season schedule.[4] TCU featured quarterback Alex Delton , a former player for Kansas State who transferred to TCU during the off-season.[5] But when the game time came around, Delton only completed two passes for a total of six yards and the bulk of the passing was completed by freshman Max Duggan, who put up 29 passes with 16 completions for a total of 132 yards passing.[6]
Kansas State gained an early 7–0 lead and never trailed the rest of the way. TCU head coach Gary Patterson said, “I think you have an 80 percent chance of getting beat if you have a punt blocked.” Kansas State did block a punt in this game, as did Iowa State in the previous game for TCU that they also lost.[7] The final score of the game was Kansas State 24, Texas Christian 17.[6]
