By the Associated Press:
Spencer Sanders completed 22 of 34 passes for 344 yards and two touchdowns, leading Oklahoma State to a 31-20 victory over No. 25 Kansas State on Saturday night.
Jaylen Warren rushed for 123 yards on 27 carries and added 81 yards on four receptions for Oklahoma State (4-0, 1-0 Big 12). Sanders also scored a rushing touchdown as Oklahoma State’s defense stifled Kansas State’s potential comeback attempt.
Kansas State had been ranked 20th in the country in total defense, and that showed in the second half.
“I thought our defensive line played much better in the second half than we did in the first half,” added Kansas State coach Chris Klieman. “I thought our linebackers and our skills kids in the secondary were able to get off blocks and make some tackles. It’s a good running back we faced, and Sanders was really tough today.”
Deuce Vaughn, who entered the game leading the Big 12 and ranked eighth in the nation with 371 rushing yards, gained just 22 yards on 13 carries for Kansas State (3-1, 0-1). Vaughn did collect a team-high 73 yards and a TD on five receptions.
The Wildcats are at home next Saturday to take on 4th ranked Oklahoma.
