Ertz runs for career-high 170 yards as K-State tops TCU 30-6

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Jesse Ertz and Kansas State rushed to the end of coach Bill Snyder's 25th regular season, and to another bowl game. Ertz ran for a career-high 170 yards with a touchdown and Justin Silmon had 133 yards rushing with two touchdowns as the Wildcats won 30-6 at TCU on a drizzly Saturday. "We just did what we do. I don't think there was any secret or anything new we threw at them," said Ertz, the junior quarterback who also had an 83-yard scoring pass. "I'm just looking to go 9-4 and finish out strong." Coach Bill Snyder got his 201st victory in 25 seasons with the Wildcats (8-4, 6-3 Big 12), who next will play in their 20th bowl game -- the 19th under Snyder. Kansas State appears headed to the Houston Bowl to play an SEC team after winning five of its last six games. "To finish it out strong ... get that eighth win, it was very important for us," Silmon said.
