It may not have been exactly how Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder drew it up in the week leading up to the game but the then No. 20 Wildcats' 24-17 victory over Missouri was huge for so many different reasons. It was K-State’s first victory over Missouri in five seasons. The Cats are now 5-0 for the first time since 2000 — a season in which K-State won the Big 12 North and finished with 11 victories. Whether or not it will be another historic season remains to be seen, but right now the Wildcats are taking care of business and putting themselves in a position for a great 2011.
