Collin Klein injury: Kansas State QB might be out vs. TCU

The Kansas State WIldcats continue to defeat one ranked opponent after another in a magical season that has the Big 12 leaders dreaming of a national title. For now, however, they hope to have their quarterback and leader, Collin Klein, back in time for next week after he left their victory over Oklahoma State with an undisclosed injury. \

"Obviously he was injured or we wouldn't have taken him out," Snyder said while also noting that he was questionable for next week against TCU.

The Heisman Trophy candidate left during the third quarter of K-State's 44-30 victory over the Cowboys, and it's clear that they are not the same offense without him. Despite a solid, efficient performance from Daniel Sams, the team's second string quarterback, the Wildcats offense stalled and settled for field goals after Klein's exit.

"I thought Daniel did reasonably well," said Snyder. "He did not make any major mistakes, he ran out of bounds one time when we were trying to run the clock out. He does not have that figured out yet. Aside from that, he managed the game OK. He had Chris (Harper) on a deep ball in the end zone that he did not get up in the air enough, but aside from that I thought he played well."

Kansas State vs. Oklahoma State final: Wildcats win 44-30

The Kansas State Wildcats defeated the Oklahoma State Cowboys, 44-30. The stories of this game unfortunately revolved around injuries, as both starting quarterbacks exited the contest in the third quarter.

Cowboys quarterback Wes Lunt exited after taking a hard hit prior to throwing his third interception of the game. Heisman Trophy hopeful Collin Klein scored a rushing touchdown early in the third quarter, but Kansas State's star quarterback didn’t come back out for the team’s next offensive series.

Klein’s injury remains undisclosed, but he’s been seen shaking his wrist on the sidelines. Some have said that the Wildcats held their quarterback out as a precautionary measure given the team’s hefty lead.

Box Score Hero: Despite the many points put up by the Wildcats, there was not a standout player stats-wise since the team scored on offense, defense and special teams. Running back John Hubert only rushed for 38 yards on his nine carries, but two of them went for scores.

Rankings Ramifications: Though their loss was to the No. 2 team in the nation, Oklahoma State is likely to lose their top-25 BCS ranking. Kansas State should remain a top team, though the loss of Klein hurts in a big way.

But Did They Cover? Kansas State entered the game favored by 7.5 points, so they were able to cover the spread.
