Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman ran for two scores and threw for two more and K-State returned two blocked punts for touchdowns for the first time in school history in a 69-10 rout of Montana State. Kansas State also scored on a fumble recovery while ringing up their most points since a school-record 76-0 pounding of Ball State in 2000. Freeman hit 16 of 21 passes for 288 yards, including two 36-yard touchdown strikes, before being lifted midway through the third quarter in favor of back-up Carson Coffman. While rolling up 481 total yards, the Wildcats averaged 7.3 yards per play. -

Kansas State traveled to Louisville, Kentucky for the first time in the program's history and did not fare well. Kansas State was favored by 4 going into the game.

Josh Freeman went 22-42, threw for 313 yards, 3 TD's, and two interceptions. K-State scored on a spectacular 86 yard punt return by Deon Murphy but it wasn't enough. Receiver Brandon Banks continued to shine as he caught seven balls for 153 yards and two TD's. The defense was clearly the issue, giving up 578 yards to the Cardinals, including 303 rushing yards. Freeman broke the Kansas State career completions record of 501 held by Lynn Dickey (1968-70).-

Kansas State was favored by 21 points going into the game.

The Wildcats took on Louisiana-Lafeyette for first time since the 2004 season. The Wildcats won that game by a score of 40-20. The last time K-State lost at home to an unranked non-conference opponent was in 1989 against Northern Illinois, Bill Snyder's first year in Manhattan.

Josh Freeman broke K-State’s career yardage record and threw three TD's to help the Wildcats beat Louisiana-Lafeyette 45-37.

Freeman was 21-of-28 for 272 yards and has 6,238 career yards to eclipse Lynn Dickey for number 1 all-time on the Kansas State list. With 35 touchdowns passes, he’s two short of Ell Roberson’s school record.

Freeman, a 6-foot-6, 250-pound junior who has started every game since his freshman year, also ran for two TDs. He threw TDs of 12 and 3 yards to Deon Murphy in the first half and connected with Brandon Banks on a 53-yard scoring play that made it 42-23 with 1:49 left in the third.

Lamark Brown, who has been a wide receiver since coming to K-State, started at running back and had 137 yards, including a 3-yard TD that put Kansas State on top 35-17 in the third quarter.

Coming into the game, K-State had lost the last 3 of 4 to the Red Raiders. Their last win against Texas Tech was in 2000 in Manhattan. Texas Tech was favored by 7.

K-State was completely outmatched in the game, with the defense giving up 626 yards. It was the third consecutive game that the Wildcats gave up more than 600 yards on defense.

Graham Harrell threw six touchdown passes and shattered the Texas Tech record for career yards passing, leading the No. 7 Red Raiders past Kansas State 58-28 in the teams' Big 12 Conference opener.

Lyle Leong snared three touchdown passes from Harrell, who was 38-for-51 for 454 yards. Texas Tech (5-0, 1-0 Big 12), with its highest ranking in 32 years, scored on seven straight possessions and did not attempt a punt until Taylor Potts replaced Harrell late in the fourth quarter.cite web|title=Box Score: Texas Tech, Kansas State|publisher=ESPN.com|date=2008-10-04|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=282782306|accessdate=2008-10-06]

Heisman candidate Michael Crabtree had nine catches for 107 yards and two TDs.

The Red Raiders, leading the nation in total offense (572.8 yards per game), and passing (426.2), had 417 and 316 while putting up a 38-14 halftime lead.

The six TD passes tied the career-best for Harrell, who spread his passes around to 10 different receivers. The three-year starter ran his career total to 12,709 yards, erasing the record of 12,429 yards by Kliff Kingsbury from 1999-02.

Facing fourth-and-inches from their own 29 late in the first quarter, the Red Raiders sent Shannon Woods on a sweep. But he was stuffed, and four plays later, Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman scored on a 1-yard run, knotting the game 14-all.

A moment later, Texas Tech’s Richard Jones recovered Lamark Brown’s fumble on the Kansas State 34 and Baron Batch made it 58-21 on a 9-yard run.

On successive possessions in the second quarter, Harrell led quick-hitting drives of 53, 70 and 54 yards. Freeman, in the meantime, went cold, misfiring on 9 of 10 passes, several of which Tech defenders got their hands on.

The Kansas State junior, who a week earlier had become his own school’s career passing leader, was 13-for-28 for 170 yards, including a 33-yard TD pass to Ernie Pierce. Pierce also scored on an 18-yard return of a blocked punt late in the game.
