Trevone Boykin accounts for 4 TDs as TCU trounces K-State

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Trevone Boykin had no need for any apologies this time. Boykin did an acrobatic flip on the second of his three touchdown runs and threw for 219 yards and another score to lead No. 6 TCU to a 41-20 victory over Kansas State (No. 7 CFP, No. 9 AP) on Saturday night in a game with huge Big 12 and playoff implications. A week earlier, Boykin was apologizing in the locker room for what he considered a subpar performance in a one-point win at West Virginia. "We just talked about winning. We just talked about beating Kansas State," coach Gary Patterson said. "All that stuff doesn't matter. He's a mature kid. He's grown up and understands what you've got to do." Against Kansas State, the dual-threat junior set a career high with 123 yards rushing on 17 carries and completed 23 of 34 passes.
