Kansas State
W 71-3 vs Nicholls · Sat, Sep 5 · 1-0 overall
Misery Index · Euphoric
Klien era opens with 71 points, a flawless postgame mic drop, and 394 push-ups that may have killed Willie.
What happened
Kansas State opened the Klein era by dismantling Nicholls 71-3, which is less a football game than a public works project, and the fanbase spent the evening counting touchdowns instead of worrying. The turning point was whenever the scoreboard operator gave up resisting. Willie the Wildcat absorbed the collateral damage: 394 push-ups, which one fan noted meant "Willie might be dead." At 1-0, with "the best game and best post game interview you could have asked for," nobody in Manhattan is asking harder questions yet.
