Kansas State receiver Jordy Nelson (27) is pressured by Baylor cornerback Alton Widemon (20) after making a catch. K-State pummeled Baylor, 51-13, Saturday in Manhattan.

Manhattan ? Jordy Nelson came to Kansas State hoping to snag passes from other teams quarterbacks. Now, two-thirds of the way through his senior season, the former defensive back continues to rewrite the Wildcats’ receiving records.

Nelson had eight catches for 105 yards and a touchdown in Kansas State’s 51-13 victory over Baylor on Saturday, breaking the school mark for receptions in a season. He also ran back a punt 92 yards for the Wildcats’ last touchdown in the game’s closing seconds.

“I’ll reflect on that later,” Nelson said. “Right now, it’s all about winning the game, and we were able to do that.”

Nelson’s eight-yard catch from backup Carson Coffman was his 76th this year, breaking Darnell McDonald’s mark of 75 in 1988. Earlier this year, he set a single-game record with 15 catches for 109 yards in a 61-10 victory over Missouri State.

“It’s something I never really thought I’d do, coming here as a safety,” he said. “Even throughout the season, I didn’t know I was that close, to have the opportunity to do it today. It just happened.”

Josh Freeman threw for 247 yards – including touchdown passes on three straight possessions to open the second half – and had two one-yard TD carries for the Wildcats, who pulled away from a 10-point halftime lead to hand Baylor its eighth straight conference loss.

Leon Patton had 115 yards on 17 carries for Kansas State, and Daniel Gonzalez caught seven passes for 104 yards and a touchdown.

Baylor committed seven turnovers and managed just 13 yards rushing against K-State’s defense, which gave up 329 yards on the ground in last week’s 41-39 loss at Oklahoma State.
