He redshirted in 2012, helped on special teams in 2013, and finally entered the mix at wide receiver last season. By that time, after helping MHS to two more…

It took exactly one play for Kansas State to lose its flexibility at the quarterback position. On the first play of the 2015 season, sophomore starter Jesse Ertz sustained a knee injury that will keep him out “for quite some time,” coach Bill Snyder said on the weekly Big 12 teleconference Monday. Joe Hubener will take his place when K-State visits Texas-San Antonio this week. Ertz ran the ball for five yards to lead off K-State’s 34-0 victory over South Dakota, and was on the field for one more play before limping to the sideline. After several minutes, he was taken…

It took 12 seconds for Kansas State to take the lead for good against South Dakota. From that point on, how the Wildcats’ season opener is viewed depends on perspective. K-State routed the Coyotes 34-0 Saturday night in a game that featured a hearty helping of good, bad and ugly. “We need to make better things happen than what we showed tonight,” K-State coach Bill Snyder said. The game started as well as it possibly could have. Morgan Burns returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, sending the sold out crowd at Bill Snyder Family Stadium into frenzy.…
