everything fell apart. He wound up throwing for 280 yards and two touchdowns but also was picked off twice, the second on a desperation heave after the Bison had taken the lead.
• That sealed the biggest win in North Dakota State's history.
• When the final gun sounded, the Bison raced to midfield to celebrate and then headed to the corner of the end zone that was painted yellow by their fans -- a strong contingent in the crowd of 53,351, the second-largest ever to see a game at Kansas State.
• "We've had a lot of these types of wins," Bohl said, "but never over a program like this."
• Sam Ojuri had 10 carries for 127 yards, and John Crockett also ran for 50 yards for the Bison. Ryan Smith caught eight passes for 72 yards and a touchdown.
• It was a glum way for the Wildcats to wrap up a festive day on campus.
• The school dedicated a $90 million renovation to the west side of its stadium in a ceremony attended by Gov. Sam Brownback and Sens. Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran. Along with a ribbon-cutting, the school also unveiled an 8-foot bronze statue of its beloved coach.
• Snyder even made the rare decision to leave his team on game day for a few hours to attend the ceremony, but joked that if the Wildcats stumbled "it's all going to be on my shoulders."
• Then again, perhaps the 73-year-old Snyder wasn't joking at all.
• Kansas State struggled early on with Waters taking over for departed Heisman Trophy finalist Collin Klein under center. The Bison took advantage of the lull -- and a 49-yard punt return by Christian Dudzik -- to take a 7-0 lead on Jensen's 5-yard pass to Smith late in the first quarter.
• The Wildcats finally got on the board when Waters completed four straight passes, capped by a 45-yard touchdown toss to Thompson early in the second quarter. But both teams squandered chances to seize a halftime lead -- Waters was picked off deep in his own territory, only for the Kevin Vaadeland to drop a TD catch and Adam Keller to clang a field-goal attempt off the left upright.
• Kansas State threatened to break the game open in the third quarter.
• Waters followed a couple short completions with a 56-yard touchdown pass to Lockett, who had run right past Williams to get open. On the ensuing series, backup QB Daniel Sams made his season debut on third-and-3 at the Bison 17 and ran almost untouched for a touchdown that made it 21-7.
• North Dakota State was on the ropes when Jensen engineered a 12-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that he capped with a 9-yard pass to Vaadeland. The Bison twice converted short third downs.
