Bill Snyder orchestrated a massive turnaround in his first stint at Kansas State's coach, transforming a team with more losses than any other into a national title contender. After a rough start, his second reclamation project seems to be going well, too. Daniel Thomas ran for 185 yards and a touchdown, and the Wildcats harassed Todd Reesing into three turnovers to remain in control of the Big...

The Kansas State records for kickoff returns belong to Brandon Banks.

He has a trio of Kansas State and Big 12 records—five career kickoff returns for touchdowns, four returns in a single season, and two in a single game. And the list of heroics is growing after his 98-yard return against Oklahoma last week.

In his two-year career, Banks, only 5-7 and 150 pounds, has accounted for 3,378 all-purpose yards, which ranks fourth in KSU history behind four-year Wildcats in Darren Sproles (2001-04, 6,812), Aaron Lockett (1998-01, 4,023) and Andre Coleman (1990-93, 3,443).

In Banks' career, he's touched the ball 188 times for 3,378 yards, or 17.9 yards per touch.

He averaged 17.8 yards per touch last season, and is at 18.0 yards this year.

Jones' 4 TDs lift Oklahoma past K-State 42-30 (AP)

Landry Jones learned earlier in the week that Sam Bradford wouldn't be returning this season, leaving Jones as the full-time, rather than fill-in, starting quarterback for No. 22 Oklahoma. His comfort level is increasing with every start, and that's one reason Oklahoma's offense is beginning to catch up to its defense.
