The Kansas State Wildcats have played an interesting season thus far. The wins seem to have a few strategic losses peppered in between giving less than optimistic fans cause for concern during this 2009 football season. At the start of the season, they took home a win against Massachusetts 21-17 but followed up with two losses in a week's time to Louisiana 15-17 and UCLA 9-23, the latter of which was just not a good game for the Wildcats. They were back on their A-game against Tennessee Tech with a fantastic win that was nearly a shut of 49-7 and a close, tight game against Iowa State that the Wildcats won by just one point. Texas Tech came prepared for the next game and defeated the Wildcats 14-66. Texas A&M was a near complete reversal and the Wildcats beat Texas A&M 62-14. Colorado barely pulled down six points and was unable to get any more points in as the Wildcats took home another win from Manhattan, KS 20-6. The weeks ahead in the season promise to be some interesting games as the Kansas State Wildcats take on Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska all in away games. Overall team statistics show the Wildcats have been scoring an average of 26.8 points per game with rushing and passing at 85 and 46 respectively. As far as individual statistics go, at the top of the list is Daniel Thomas who has been giving it a great shot every time he hits the field. Following close behind in the top five player rankings are K. Valentine, Grant Gregory, Jarell Childs and Carson Coffman. Coaches and anxious fans alike are watching these players and the rest of the team to see how the rest of the season continues to unfold for the Wildcats.
