<table> </table> MANHATTAN, Kan. | Ian Campbell is frustrated.</p><p>Campbell, a Kansas State senior defensive end and a two-time All-Big 12 selection, failed to record a single tackle in Saturday&#8217;s 58-28 loss to Texas Tech &#8212; only the second time in his three seasons as a full-time starter that&#8217;s happened. So now he&#8217;s talking about football being a business, and how it&#8217;s his business, and how business is always personal, and on and on&#8230;</p><p>&#8220;I think you can&#8217;t put so much of yourself into something and not take it personally,&#8221; he says.</p><p>He&#8217;s tired of talking, especially when answers aren&#8217;t readily available, but what else can he do? He&#8217;s also aware of the importance of being accountable, especially when times are tough.</p><p>That&#8217;s what leaders do.</p><p>&#8220;I think we have great leadership,&#8221; K-State coach Ron Prince said Monday. &#8220;I think Ian is as great as you can find.&#8221;</p><p>For some reason, though, that hasn&#8217;t translated into more victories for the team and better efforts from the defense, and Campbell is beating himself up trying to figure out why.</p><p>&#8220;I want to put things on my shoulders,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Obviously, I didn&#8217;t want to have two losses after five games. I want us to perform a little better, but as a leader on this team, I will do whatever I need to do to make us successful.</p><p>&#8220;It is very important for myself as an individual to provide better production for this team.&#8221;</p><p>In five games, Campbell has 14 tackles, including 2 1/2 sacks. Last week, Prince explained it was a matter of Campbell simply making plays, so it&#8217;s not hard to imagine how dejected Campbell feels after being blanked in 90 snaps against the Red Raiders.</p><p>&#8220;I was very disappointed,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Schemewise, whatever they do, it doesn&#8217;t matter. If I take that many snaps, I need to have better production, whether it&#8217;s tackles or getting in the quarterback&#8217;s face. I missed one tackle. I should have tried to wrangle (quarterback Graham) Harrell better when I got hold of him. I should have batted down a few balls. &#8230;&#8221;</p><p>He says the coaches&#8217; postgame message was to not have misguided effort, and Prince was quick to note Monday that Campbell and the Wildcats&#8217; collective effort against Tech wasn&#8217;t the issue. Clearly, though, everything needs to be better Saturday at Texas A&amp;M.</p><p>&#8220;Four and two would be a big deal,&#8221; Campbell says. &#8220;Four and two isn&#8217;t a bad ballclub. Three and two isn&#8217;t a bad ballclub.&#8221;</p><p>He should know.</p><p>Campbell redshirted in 2004, when K-State finished 4-7. He played sparingly the next season, when the Wildcats were 5-6. His breakout season came in 2006, the first of his all-conference selections and when he recorded 11 1/2 sacks. K-State was 7-6 that year.</p><p>And then last season, the Wildcats took a step back, ending with a 5-7 mark. Although Campbell&#8217;s statistics slipped, he was again an all-conference selection.</p><p>K-State has gone 24-28 during his time in Manhattan, so when Campbell says he and the Wildcats need to learn how to win, he&#8217;s not kidding.</p><p>So he&#8217;s talking, with plans on addressing his teammates, mostly the veterans, in the coming days, anything that might help fix the situation.</p><p>Even though he&#8217;s still frustrated.</p><p>&#8220;(Ian) is a guy who plays hard,&#8221; Prince said. &#8220;(His) play backs up any words (he) might have.&#8221;
