KSU's Klieman emotional, defiant after close loss
""We're down so many players, and I know a lot of people thought we'd come over here and lay down, and that maybe the kids had cashed it in," Klieman said. "Because I've heard it enough. I've heard I have cashed it in, I've heard the players have cashed it in, we need to get new leadership here, we need to get new players, new coaches. I'm tired of it. I gotta be honest with you, I'm tired of it. I've given my friggin' [...] life for this place for seven years. I've given everything for seven years. And I think I deserve a little bit of respect. I'm frustrated like everybody else is, but I love those kids. And I'll go to friggin' battle with those kids any day.""
""The Wildcats rushed for a school-record 472 yards, second-most by any FBS team this season, and held a 12-point lead with 7 minutes remaining. The Utes rallied back, starting with an interception return on a 2-point conversion attempt, and scored 14 points in the game's final three minutes to win. The Wildcats' offense put up 574 total yards against the Big 12's No. 2 scoring defense and got a record-setting performance from running back Joe Jackson, who broke the program's single-game rushing mark with 293 yards and three touchdowns.""
