The Wildcats didn't need a whole lot of resilience in the first meeting with Missouri since it bolted for the SEC - and left the Big 12 in a precarious lurch - prior to the 2012 season. In fact, the only resistance Kansas State faced all day came from the weather, which included torrential downpours and an hour-long delay for lightning in the first half.
Kansas State led 14-3 at that point. It was 20-3 at halftime. The margin of victory, 40-12, was enough to raise eyebrows around the country, though the folks that follow the Wildcats closely know that this could turn out to be a special season in Manhattan.
''We have a good football team, but we have a lot of guys with a chip on their shoulder,'' said Wildcats coach Chris Klieman, whose team plays Tulane on Saturday before a showdown with the Sooners. ''We think we can be a really good team.''
