Burkhart's Breakdown: Better lucky than good

By Jeff Burkhart 

How many times can I recycle the ‘well, they did it again’ lead? It’s unprecedented, especially at a school that has had the kind of fortune that Kansas State has had over the years. It seems like this season is retribution for every close loss K-State coach Bill Snyder endured in his first go-around… or, maybe it’s atoning for the Ron Prince Era. I don’t know. What I do know is that Kansas State (9-2, 6-2) is on its way to having its best season in almost a decade after a 17-13 win over Texas (6-4, 3-4) at Darrell K. Royal Memorial Stadium in Austin on Saturday.  

However, don’t be fooled by the outcome. The positives for K-State in this game were few and far between.
