The 1970 Kansas State Wildcats football team represented Kansas State University in the 1970 NCAA University Division football season.[1] The team's head football coach was Vince Gibson. The Wildcats played their home games in KSU Stadium.
Senior quarterback Lynn Dickey led the team to a third straight season as the top-rated passing offense in the Big Eight Conference. Kansas State also led the conference in total defense, and posted its first win against a top-ten team, beating #8 Colorado. The Wildcats went into the final conference game of the season against Nebraska ranked #20 and playing for the Big Eight championship. The #4-ranked Cornhuskers throttled Kansas State 51–13 in the game. Kansas State did not return to the national rankings again until the 1993 season.
The team finished with a winning record in conference play for the first time since 1953. After the season Gibson was named coach of the year by the Big Eight.
