MANHATTAN (AP) — After one of the worst rushing performances in the Bill Snyder era, Kansas State would be hard-pressed to find a better opponent to get back on track.Not only are the No. 11 Wildcats preparing to face their bitter in-state rival, they’ll also be facing a Kansas team that just allowed Oklahoma’s Semaje Perine to run for 427 yards, breaking the Bowl Subdivision record that was held oh-so-briefly by Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon.Of course, Snyder doesn’t necessarily see the beauty in that.“What the Oklahoma situation could do in many cases is provide overconfidence to a player or a group of players and that would put us in jeopardy, I can assure you,” Snyder said. “I would hope our players would not fall into that trap.”Kansas State ran 29 times for just a single yard in a 26-20 victory at West Virginia last week.
