http://www.kansascity.com/sports/story/279578.htmlDid K-State senior middle linebacker Justin Roland let the “Wildcat” out of the bag?
Roland said Monday that the Wildcats, ranked No. 14 nationally in total defense, could get a boost Sept. 29 when they play at Texas.
“We get Josh Moore back next week. That will help a bunch,” Roland said.
If that’s true, it’s news. Moore, a sophomore cornerback, has not played in 2007 because of an undisclosed academic issue.
•K-State linebacker/defensive end Ian Campbell calls teammate Jordy Nelson “The People’s Champ.” It’s doubtful anyone who loves K-State would dispute Campbell.
Nelson set single-game school records Saturday in receptions (15) and receiving yards (209) in the 61-10 thrashing of Missouri State. “He (Nelson) is pretty humble all the time,” Campbell said, “but I think deep down he knows that he is (The People’s Champ). He can’t deny that he isn’t.”
Nelson, on his memorable effort, said: “I guess it all came together one night, and things happened.”
Nelson has been nominated for the USA Today player of the week. You can vote online at

•K-State learned its game at Texas starts at 2:30 p.m. and will be televised by ABC … Punter Tim Reyer leads the Big 12 with a 44.6 average (that’s No. 15 in the country) … Coach Ron Prince turns 38 today. Any big plans, Coach? “Not for me. I’m trying to stop having them (birthdays),” he said.
