After two weeks of quarterbacks Blake Barnett and Dillon Duff trading reps, here is where both QBs sit on the stat sheet.

Barnett has played far more snaps than Duff, but Duff ended the game against the Cowboys showing some promise. Who do you want under center in Fort Worth this Saturday?

🏅POWERCAT PERFORMANCES🏅

K-State's dominant win over TCU in 2023 saw junior running back DJ Giddens put up a monster performance!

The Junction City native averaged over nine yards per carry, going for 85 yards on the ground and capping off the opening drive with a two yard rushing touchdown!

On top of the ground game, Giddens added 75 yards and another touchdown through the air, taking a 61 yard reception to the house to give K-State a 21-3 lead in the first quarter!!!

Where were you when Giddens balled out against the Frogs?

[Kansas State Nation @ksstatenation]

On this day in 2000, K-State football got their second win in 32 years against the Nebraska Cornhuskers in a 29-28 upset on Wagner Field!

The Cats sat at 16th in the nation while the Huskers entered Manhattan at number four, fighting for BCS Bowl contention. K-State's Jonathan Beasley threw for 234 yards and scoring two touchdowns through the air. His top target, Quincy Morgan, accounted for 199 of those yards and both touchdowns, including the game winning TD late in the fourth.

With this win, the Cats propelled themselves into the top 10, beating Missouri the following week but falling to Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship. Where were you when the Cats shocked the Huskers in Manhattan?

🏅POWERCAT PERFORMANCES🏅

In K-State's 30-6 win over the Horned Frogs in 2026, wide receiver Byron Pringle was catching everything for the Cats!

Pringle caught six of QB Jesse Ertz's nine completions, going for 126 yards and grabbing the lone passing touchdown of the game. The sophomore ended the season with the third most scrimmage yards, trailing only Ertz and RB Charles Jones.

Where were you when Pringle destroyed TCU?

🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY RODNEY FIELDS JR🎉

As a sophomore, Fields has been a pivotal member of the run game for the Cats. Throw nine games, Fields has averaged over five yards per carry, scoring six touchdowns!

The Oklahoma State transfer entered Manhattan and immediately became a permanent member of the offense. Happy birthday, Rodney!!

🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROCK VICE🎉

As a first-year Wildcat, Vice has done a little bit of everything for K-State's offense. As a multi-level threat, Vice has made over 50% of his threes over the past couple of games as a center!

Transferring from Murray State, Vice has been a high energy, efficient big who can pass the ball exceptionally well. Happy birthday, Brock!!!
