So we lost to Vanderbilt... but that didn't stop us from kicking Iowa State in the nuts

K-State began the 2017 season in the Top 25 and were labeled by many prognosticators as a dark horse Big 12 title candidate. Injuries to multiple quarterbacks led to a sputtering offense in the early portion of the Big 12 slate. While the Wildcats were taken out of Big 12 title contention early, Snyder and Company, yet again, managed to rally the troops. The 'Cats won five out of their final six games:

- K-State's ninth straight win in the Sunflower Showdown; Mike Lee now 0-2 in this game, for those of you scoring at home

- Skylar Thompson helps lead KSU to an OT victory over Texas Tech in Lubbock

- Snyder picks up his first EVER win over a Top 10 foe on the road as K-State holds on for dear life in Stillwater against Oklahoma State

- A walk-off win over Iowa State on Senior Day in BSFS

- 'Cats mow down UCLA in the Cactus Bowl; Snyder picks up back-to-back bowl wins for the first time since the '99 Holiday Bowl and '00 Cotton Bowl
