Fourth quarter

Key play: TCU scored its only touchdown in the game’s final minute.

Player of the game: Meshak Williams. The defensive end was the most dominant player up front, and caused a lot of trouble for TCU’s offense.

Reason to hope: K-State may be the top-ranked team in the BCS standings on Sunday and it will be favored in its final two games.

Reason to mope: If Ty Zimmerman and Tyler Lockett, who both needed help leaving the field after injuries in the second half, miss any games, K-State will be down two important starters.

Looking ahead: K-State heads to Baylor next week. The Bears have a high-powered offense, but one of the worst defenses in the nation.
