GROUP C - Day Three

Kansas State - 52 vs. South Alabama - 0
Reser Stadium - Corvallis, OR

Corvallis, OR - On the first play from scrimmage, South Alabama (0-1-0/0PTs) running back Demetre Baker caught a screen pass for a 40-yard gain. The crowd, pulling for an upset, went wild as it appeared as though the Jaguars were going to give Kansas State (1-0-0/3PTs) a run for their money.

In football, though, it is how you start and not how you finish. South Alabama knows this, as they only managed to gain 74-yards the rest of the game in a 52-0 beatdown at the hands of Kansas State. Quarterback Daniel Sams lead the charge for the Wildcats as he gained 316-all purpose yards and accounted for 6 of the teams 7 touchdowns.

"You never want to say anything came easy for you," said sophomore Daniel Sams. "With that said, everything just fell into place all afternoon. If there something I wanted to do in the air, or on the ground, I really just had my way."

The Kansas State offense managed to score a touchdown on almost every one of their drives. A late second half field-goal, with 39-seconds remaining, broke up a possible all-touchdown day for the Wildcats. Even with the "disappointment" of only grabbing a field goal, Kansas State quickly got the ball back and scored a touchdown on a 50-yard screen pass from Daniel Sams to John Hubert as time expired.

"They were just flat out better than us and that is the honest truth," said South Alabama head coach Joey Jones. "Now, we aren't going to roll over and admit to defeat to [Ohio State and Missouri], but we have to realize how we stack up and drastically adjust our gameplan."

Even with a possible new approach next game, Jones cannot run away from the staggering numbers that showed how outmatched his Jaguars were. Kansas State gained a total of 363 more yards and 15 more first downs than South Alabama.

While Sams now joins Washington's Bishop Sankey as the most impressive player so far in the National Cup, the young quarterback knows what lies ahead.

"Ohio State. Missouri. These teams are no jokes," said Sam. "While playing this well is outstanding, I also know that it'll put a lot more attention on me from the eyes of their defenses. If I don't play a smart game and spread the ball, we could be in for some trouble."

A win in their next game against Ohio State (0-0-1/1PT) would guarantee Kansas State a spot in the knockout round, though, the task will not be small considering the game in Lexington will be a virtual home game for the Buckeyes. While there is always pressure to win, Kansas State can also enter the game knowing that, not only are they in sole possession of first place in Group C but, they have a huge advantage with a plus-52 point differential. Meanwhile, South Alabama will have to pick up the pieces and hope to get as much out of their matchup against Missouri (0-0-1/1PT), in Gainesville, Florida, as they can.
