A Bill Snyder protege as a former Kansas State assistant, Oklahoma's Bobby Stoops is 7-1 all-time against his mentor in their battles as head coaches. ... Snyder's only win thus far was a dandy, coming on Dec. 6, 2003, in the Big 12 championship game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. The Wildcats crushed the third-ranked Sooners 35-7, shredding their top-ranked defense for over 500 yards in total offense, including Darren Sproles rushing for 235 yards — perhaps the greatest win in Kansas State football history. It also threw the national title picture into chaos, while the Wildcats earned a berth in the Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State after clinching their first conference championship since winning the Big 6 in 1934.
