Kansas State to host 112th Sunflower Showdown Saturday

Kansas State and Kansas face off Saturday afternoon in the 112th edition of the Sunflower Showdown.

Kansas leads the all time series, 64-42-5, but Kansas State has won 18 of theKSU FOOTBALL TEAM last 23 meetings, and is on a perfect 5-0 run since Snyder returned to the sidelines in 2009.

Although Kansas has struggled over the last five seasons, going 17-54, don’t let that make you think Kansas State will take the Jayhawks lightly on Saturday.

“You’ve heard me say so many times, and you’ve seen it happen week in and week out, anybody can beat anybody on any given day if they prepare as well as they can, play well,” said Coach Bill Snyder. “That’s always been our approach, no matter who the opponent is.”

After having the Governors cup in the lobby of the Vanier Complex for the past five years Snyder was asked Tuesday if he could imagine not seeing that trophy when he walked into the complex next week.

“I haven’t thought about it that way, which doesn’t mean anything, don’t read into that. I would hate for it to happen, I can assure you of that.”

Saturday will also mark the home finale for 21 Wildcat seniors. The 2014 senior class has led K-state to a 37-12 record over the past four seasons, which includes four bowl games and a conference title back in 2012.

Kick off is scheduled for 3 p.m. from Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The game will be televised nationally on Fox Sports 1.
