NEW ORLEANS — One of the biggest football games in Kansas State history ended in disappointment on Saturday inside the Superdome.
The Alabama Crimson Tide flexed their blue-blood muscles and dismantled the Wildcats, 45-20, for a blowout victory in front of 60,437 at the Sugar Bowl.
K-State jumped out to a 10-0 lead, and the thousands of purple-clad fans who made the trek to New Orleans for this game were delirious with excitement as it looked like the Wildcats might pull off an upset for the ages. But that nice start could not be sustained. Alabama proved why it is one of the most dominant teams in all of college football by scoring the next 35 points and coasting to the win.
