Kansas State survives a rash of mistakes, beats Kansas 35-24 for 18th straight win over the Jayhawks

Manhattan, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State secured a 35-24 victory over Kansas on Saturday, extending their streak of 18 consecutive wins over bitter rivals. Quarterback Joe Jackson led the way for Kansas State, rushing for 159 yards and a touchdown and passing for 203 yards and another score. Wide receiver Avery Johnson also contributed 132 yards on the ground and an additional touchdown.

Both Kansas State and Kansas made numerous mistakes throughout the game, with Kansas suffering a critical fumble and two failed fourth-down attempts. Kansas had a chance to tie the game in the fourth quarter, but a facemask penalty on guard Amir Herring negated a crucial touchdown run, resulting in a punt instead. Kansas State capitalized on the turnover, running the clock down and sealing the game with a 39-yard touchdown run by Johnson on third-and-long, which set up Luis Rodriguez's game-winning 35-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining on the clock.

Kansas had previously not beaten Kansas State since 2008, a span that spanned seven different coaches for the Jayhawks.
