Kansas State fans were definitely feeling themselves on Saturday during the Wildcats’ shut out win of the Texas Longhorns in Manhattan. During the contest, fans could be heard chanting, “We own Texas!”
That chant is rooted in reality. K-State has beaten Texas six of the last seven times they’ve played including Saturday. With the 23-0 win, the Wildcats handed the Longhorns their first shutout loss since 2004. Texas was held to just 12 first downs and 196 total yards in the game. The last time they were shut out was in the 2004 Red River Rivalry game when Adrian Peterson was playing for Oklahoma.
Between this and the 45-42 upset over Texas in 2006, Kansas State fans sure have a reason for doing the chant. They also have the top team in the Big 12 — they’re 6-1 and 4-0 in conference play, while Texas is 3-5 and 2-3 in conference.
