Collin Klein enters Heisman Trophy conversation on national level with early West Virginia performance

Stay connected for news and updates

It's early in the broadcast, but Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein is a one-man show against the West Virginia Mountaineers. The quarterback already has two rushing touchdowns and one deep touchdown throw to Tyler Lockett, and the No. 4 ranked Wildcats are killing the Mountaineers 24-0 in the second quarter. It's too early to call a victory, especially against such a powerful offense of WVU, but it's not too early to say that Klein picked the biggest stage of all to explode.

Check out his early numbers: 11 of 12 passing for 168 yards and 1 touchdown in the second quarter. 6 rushes for 29 yards and 2 rushing TDs.

Those are the sort of numbers coming against a top ranked contender that catapults a player into the national consciousness. While Klein has been listed alongside other Heisman favorites by sportswriters, especially those in the Midwest, Klein will become a household name for football fans after this game.

If K-State can put this away and Klein keeps up this type of impact, expect plenty of "Klein is a Heisman frontrunner" columns to come out.
