David Bailey, who already leads the nation in sacks, took down K-State QB Avery Johnson for a loss of seven yards, giving the Wildcats a 4th and 16 on their own 19yd line.4:59 left in the game. Romello Height sacked Johnson on the KSU 10, resulting in a John Curry fumble return- better known as a “scoop and score”!
The No.9 Red Raiders have a chance to add to their sack count once more this upcoming Saturday as they host the No. 8 BYU Cougars. Kickoff set for 11 a.m. and is the featured matchup for ESPN’s College GameDay.
