10: #14 Kansas State Wildcats 41, #6 Kansas Jayhawks 7 (October 28, 1995; Manhattan, KS)

The 10th top game in the countdown is the 1995 meeting between Kansas State and Kansas at KSU Stadium in Manhattan. This was the first and still the only meeting in the Sunflower Showdown in which both teams were ranked in the Top 25. KU was 7-0, K-State was 6-1 and the Wildcats built an early lead and never looked back. It's always a must to beat the Jayhawks, and this was just one of the 11 straight wins the Wildcats put up in the series. K-State gained 335 yards on the ground and had two 100 yard rushers. Eric Hickson led KSU with 121 yards on just 15 carries, while Mike Lawrence ran 20 times for 118 yards. The Wildcats gained 454 yards of total offense, while the defense held KU to just 155 offensive yards. Kevin Lockett had a great game as well, catching five passes for 58 yards, including two touchdown receptions from Matt Miller. Again, it was KU's first loss of the 1995 season, and it was a big loss. Final score 41-7.

Coming tomorrow...K-State goes bowling
