MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - "High and tight" is a popular

expression on the Kansas State practice field.

Quarterback Collin Klein is usually referring to the way coaches

instruct players to hang onto the football, high enough to make it

hard for defenders to pull it out.

The prevalence of the "high and tight" mantra is one reason

the No. 6 Wildcats lead the Big 12 with a plus-10 turnover margin.

Kansas State (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) has only lost two interceptions and

just one fumble while forcing 13 turnovers by its opponents.

The Wildcats have scored 59 points off turnovers. Opponents have

been shut out. Kansas State visits Iowa State on Saturday.
