Syracuse 18, Kansas St. 35
Michael Bishop threw four touchdown passes and ran for another score as Kansas State closed out the best season in school history with a 35-18 victory over Syracuse in the Fiesta Bowl at Tempe, Arizona.

Syracuse QB Donovan McNabb lost all Heisman chances early on but has passed for 20 TDs and run for six more. You figure out how a team with RB Dee Brown and WR Kevin Johnson has only 11 field goals in 12 games this season. K-State QB Michael Bishop has his team on a seven-game win streak, throwing for 13 scores and running for nine. The Wildcat secondary heads up the No. 4 defense in the country, yielding only 256.8 yards per game.

Two things Kansas State must do: run the ball well and keep punts away from Quentin Spotwood, who has returned four punts for touchdowns this season. The only two games the Wildcats haven't won convincingly - a 56-26 loss to Nebraska and a 23-20 win over (gulp) Ohio - are the only two games where Kansas State hasn't rushed for 100 yards. Not for a lack of trying, either - in both games, the Wildcats had at least 40 rushes, but couldn't reach the century mark.

In Syracuse's eight-game win streak, the Orangemen have won by an average margin of 40-11.
