Jul 01, 2005 | Football
MANHATTAN, Kan. Relive the excitement of Kansas State posting its first back-to-back home wins in school history against Nebraska this Saturday at 1 p.m., when Powercat Passport webcasts the Wildcats’ exhilarating 29-28 victory over the Cornhuskers from the 2000 season as the ninth-most popular game of the Bill Snyder era as voted by the fans. The game, which ended with the turf of Wagner Field covered in snow, all but sewed up Kansas State’s third straight share of the Big 12 North Division title and features a pair of Jonathan Beasley to Quincy Morgan touchdown passes, a Josh Scobey TD run and three field goals by Jamie Rheem on offense.
One of the stoutest defensive efforts ever turned in by the Wildcats and three separate comebacks help K-State forge victory over the highest ranked team it had ever beaten the then No. 4-ranked Huskers.
This Saturday’s webcast of the 2000 Kansas State vs. Nebraska game is the second of a 10-game countdown to the start of the 2005 season on Powercat Passport, the premium multimedia service of k-statesports.com.
Over 2,000 fan ballots were received in online voting that began on April 27th. The Wildcats’ victory over Tennessee in the 2001 Cotton Bowl was chosen at the fans’ No. 10 pick and was webcats last week on Powercat Passport.
The weekly countdown of the 10 most popular games of the Bill Snyder era will continue each Saturday through August 27th, when the fans' pick as the No. 1 game is webcast.
Each week’s game will be announced on Friday afternoon on k-statesports.com.
