From the Bleacher Report:
Kansas State QB Jake Waters Proves He Has Skills to Beat Auburn
With a Thursday night matchup against the Auburn Tigers looming for Kansas State, Saturday’s contest against Iowa State had all the makings of the perfect trap game.
And for most of the game, it looked as though the Cyclones, coming off a deflating loss to North Dakota State last week, would upend the Wildcats, who are projected as one of the front-runners in the Big 12.
Instead, a stellar final drive by quarterback Jake Waters—who had a career day in his home state of Iowa—that capped off a 15-point comeback and set the stage for Waters to lead the Wildcats to a possible upset over the Tigers.
Waters, who's been under a mountain of pressure in the Little Apple since his backup last year, Daniel Sams, transferred to McNeese State, was the unquestioned superstar on Saturday.
K-State's gunslinger had arguably the best game of his career against the Cyclones, accounting for two of the team's four touchdowns, both on the ground, and racking up 377 total yards. He also had a career rushing day, picking up 138 yards on mostly designed quarterback draws.
It was Waters' game-winning touchdown run with 90 seconds left in the game that capped off a 32-28 win for the Wildcats.
