Kansas State running back Deuce Vaughn has been a star for the No. 10 Wildcats all season, and Saturday in the Big 12 championship game against No. 3 TCU, he showed up in a big way for his team.
For the eighth time this season, Vaughn broke the 100-yard mark, and he did it in huge part thanks to this monster 44-yard touchdown run to give Kansas State a 28-17 lead early in the fourth quarter before it won, 31-28, in overtime.
On 2nd-and-5 at TCU’s 44, the junior running back got the handoff, and, thanks to some stellar blocking, was able to avoid the chaos at the line of scrimmage fairly easily.
Vaughn then made a Horned Frogs defender miss and literally fall flag while grabbing the first down. But he just kept going, embarrassing TCU’s defense on this play. But the real jaw-dropping moment was when he made another defender miss with an ankle-breaking move seen more often in basketball before cruising into the end zone.
