Who are the top 2013 NFL Draft prospects to watch in the third 2013 BCS bowl game between the Oregon Ducks and Kansas State Wildcats in the 2013 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl?
This marquee matchup should be one of the best games of the 2012-2013 bowl season. Each of these teams present extremely potent offenses and lost on the same weekend, opening the door for Nick Saban and Alabama...
2013 NFL Draft: Fiesta Bowl Scouting Preview - Kansas State vs. Oregon
In a match-up that, before the last few weeks of the college football regular season, was supposed to be the National Championship game, the well-coached Kansas State Wildcats (Bill Snyder is one of the best coaches all-time) face the likely NFL-bound, Chip Kelly Oregon Ducks and their high powered, devastating offense.
While this game doesn't feature as many high profile...
Chris Harper: 'No Hard Feelings'
Tempe, Az. - Kansas State Wideout Chris Harper will start tonight for the Wildcats and will face his former teammates from Oregon. Chris talks about meeting and playing against his former teammates in the Fiesta.
Past meets present for K-State's Harper
MANHATTAN, Kan. Weston Schartz was Elmer Fudd angry, his face contorted and red, smoke shooting from his ears the way steam leaves a copper kettle. He was so cheesed that he clicked on the tweet and printed it out. Printed it out and saved it.
This was two autumns ago, and the Twitter miscreant, one of the local Wichita wiseapples, had asked in so many words what was going through...
Fiesta Bowl: Ifo on Sunday
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ., -- Oregon sophomore cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu responds to questions about Kansas State and playing against Chris Harper a former Duck now with the Wildcats.
For K-State, there's still so, so much to play for
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The last time we saw the Kansas State football team, Baylor quarterback Nick Florence had done his best Dean Wormer bit, marching straight into the Delta house and dropping the big one. After two months of complete indifference, the Bears even decided to play defense, orchestrating a little napalm tap dance all over the Wildcats' No. 1 ranking in the Bowl Championship...
K-State receiver ready to exact some revenge
MANHATTAN, Kan. Weston Schartz was Elmer Fudd angry, his face contorted and red, smoke shooting from his ears the way steam leaves a copper kettle. He was so cheesed that he clicked on the tweet and printed it out. Printed it out and saved it.

K-State success brings back past failure
MANHATTAN, Kan. The Aggies taketh away, the Aggies giveth. Eventually.
Its quite fitting, Brice Libel says, chuckling, that Texas A&M is the one that potentially put us back into that.
Libel was a wide receiver and special teams whiz on the last Kansas State football team, the only other K-State football team, to be 10-0. That was 1998, a Walt Disney script with a Stephen...

K-State-Oklahoma State preview
(AP) - All that Kansas State can do now is try to achieve perfection. That's all the third-ranked Wildcats control.
Kansas State has already beaten two ranked teams on the road in Oklahoma and West Virginia, and it blitzed then-No. 15 Texas Tech 55-24 last Saturday to remain undefeated.
The problem is that top-ranked Alabama, No. 2 Oregon and fourth-ranked Notre Dame are also...
Oklahoma State out to end K-State's perfect season
Oklahoma State remembers how it felt to be knocked from the BCS title hunt late in a season.
It happened to the Cowboys just late year.
They were ranked No. 2 in the country when they visited Iowa State in mid-November, and two overtimes later they headed home with a 37-31 loss that eventually relegated Oklahoma State to the Fiesta Bowl - rather than playing for a national championship...
The man behind 'The Mask' at Kansas State
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Women throw themselves at him. Angry West Virginians want to string him up by his toenails.
A stroll through a parking lot leads to marriage proposals. A scroll through Facebook turns up death threats.
Life with The Mask is a lot of things. But boring? Boring isnt one of them.
"It's cool how it went from nothing and then, within a couple of days, it...

No. 3 Kansas State hoping perfection is enough
(Eds: Updates with quotes, details. With AP Photos.) By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer All that Kansas State can do now is try to achieve perfection. That's all the third-ranked Wildcats control.
The rest of their fate belongs in the hands of other teams, their coaches who vote in the polls, and some whirring computers that will crunch a bunch of numbers and spit out what they...
For K-State, BCS politicking is now underway
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- After he was done stomping, Chris Harper got busy stumping.
"Because they play that fast offense and everybody sees the helmets going past really fast, everyone thinks they're faster than what they are," the Kansas State's senior receiver said Saturday when asked about the Oregon Ducks, his former program and -- here's a twist -- one of the...
K-State-vs-West Va. has it all for football fans
Death by Maserati or death by combine? Kansas State prefers to kill its victims slowly run, punt, eat up clock; by the fourth quarter, you've either bled to death or combusted out of sheer frustration. West Virginia strikes quickly, surgically, a swarm of piranhas in cleats.
In one corner, an offense plucked straight out of a video game, instant gratification, basketball on...
Kansas State QB Collin Klien's behind-the-back pass fails miserably (Video)
Kansas State Wildcats quarterback Collin Klein tried a behind-the-back pass to running back Chris Harper with 3rd and goal on the 1-yard-line during the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Miami Hurricanes. It was a risky play, and it didn't go very well.
Klein's "pass" was a backward lateral that was out of the reach of wide receiver Chris...
Missouri State - Kansas State Preview
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) Kansas State needs not look far for a cautionary tale about overlooking an opponent.
Last season's opener would do just fine.
Eastern Kentucky sauntered into town and felt right at home. Didn't matter that the Colonels weren't Oklahoma or Oklahoma State, or even Baylor. By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, they were leading the big boys...
K-State need not look far for cautionary tale
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder has made sure to remind his team about last season's opener, and the peril that comes with overlooking an opponent.
The Wildcats needed a late touchdown pass from Collin Klein to Chris Harper to knock off Eastern Kentucky. They proceeded to win 10 games and go to the Cotton Bowl, but the season might have had a very different outcome had the opener...
Cotton Bowl better than the BCS?
IRVING, Texas For years the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic has been operated on the level of a BCS bowl. In terms of tradition, organization, hospitality and facilities, the Cotton Bowl is the equal of the Rose, Sugar, Orange and Fiesta.
This year, the Cotton Bowl's matchup is even better than a BCS bowl.
Friday's game pits two teams in the Top 10 of the final BCS rankings...
Kansas State nearly pulls upset in Stillwater
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -- Kansas State's bid for a perfect season came crashing down with one awful half last week.
The Wildcats weren't done fighting after just one loss, though.
K-State responded with a valiant effort Saturday night, falling just short of shaking up the races for the Big 12 and national titles in a wild 52-45 loss to No. 3 Oklahoma State.
