Annihilating Appalachians

K-State's had a great season so far, but today was considered to be one of the biggest games of the season and one of the toughest challenges, as we played at West Virginia.  Morgantown is known as one of the toughest places to play, especially at night.  WVU has an explosive offense and the leading Heisman contender in quarterback Geno Smith.  They did lose last week at Texas Tech, but if K-State (ranked #4) is going to have a chance at winning the league, we really needed to win today, but WVU was a top 5 team before their game at Tech, so it wasn't going to be easy.  Except it was.  Really easy.  Really, really easy.  K-State dominated the game from beginning to end, hammering West Virginia 55-14.  It was never close.  West Virginia didn't even score an offensive touchdown until garbage time in the fourth quarter.  Geno Smith hadn't thrown an interception all season but threw two in this game.  Collin Klein accounted for 7 touchdowns and only had two incomplete passes, and vaulted himself to the front of the Heisman race.  I watched the game with the Keeler brothers at Tony's house, along with the newly-nicknamed Hunter Boo Boo.  Next week: a showdown with Texas Tech in Manhattan.
