The rest of the Big 12 is finding out what the Texas Longhorns already knew about Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein.
He might just be the toughest guy in the country to tackle and it's almost impossible to keep him out of the end zone.
Klein scored twice in a 39-14 Kansas State romp over Texas last season and the teams meet against Saturday night in Austin.
Klein is in the midst of a breakout year. His 24 rushing touchdowns this season lead the nation and he needs just three more to tie the Big 12 record set by Texas' Ricky Williams in 1998.
The No. 16 Wildcats (8-2, 5-2 Big 12) have won three in a row over the Longhorns (6-3, 3-3).
