Belt context

Where this game sits in the lineage

Kansas State came in 14 days into reign #284, which began with a win over Texas Tech, with one defense already behind it; this was its second defense. It was the last defense: Baylor took the belt in the very next belt game, on November 17, 2012.

For TCU this was its 7th shot at the belt; it had held the belt once before.

It was the first of 3 meetings between the two with the belt on the line; all-time TCU leads 2–1. Every meeting →

Recap

Kansas State's defense dominated early, with Collin Klein scoring on a short 7-yard run in the first quarter and Anthony Cantele adding field goals to build a 13-0 lead by halftime. Klein struck again in the third quarter with a 34-yard rushing touchdown to extend the lead to 20-0, but TCU finally got on the board late in the fourth quarter with a field goal and a touchdown pass from Trevone Boykin to Brandon Carter. Despite the late TCU scoring, Kansas State's early offensive execution and defensive pressure proved too much to overcome, securing a belt-retaining 23-10 victory.
