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.
