Player of the game: Meshak Williams. He single-handedly kept K-State close in the first half.

Reason to hope: K-State will start November with an undefeated record, and the three toughest games on its schedule are behind it.

Reason to mope: If the Wildcats continue to start slow in games, they will give lesser opponents hope.

Looking ahead: Oklahoma State, which convincingly beat TCU on Saturday, comes to Snyder Family Stadium. The Cowboys beat the Wildcats last year, and only have one conference loss. The game will be important for both sides.
