Kansas State 9/26 7:00 ESPN2

[Lobot]

K-State is coming off a 31-20 win at home against Tulane which took them to 3-0. Colin Klein has taken over as HC for the WIldcats. The offense he runs is a leftover from the Bill Snyder tenure when Klein was the QB of the team.

You can see that offense in the stats for KSU from the Tulane game . QB Avery Johnson went 21/28 for 227 yards in the air another 152 on the ground. Containing Johnson is very obviously the key to the game particularly on the ground. The next leading rusher for K-State in that game went for 24 yards. Johnson is the team's leading rusher on the season.

It has the potential to be a bloodbath for UC. Their ability to contain running QBs is questionable at best. KSU has one of the best dual threat QBs.

Opening line is KSU -6.5 . It's been a while since K-State was at Nippert. None of these guys know a thing about the place. FAFO

We will see how well the coaches scout KSU and how well the prepare. I hope that it will be better than MU.

Wow! Nipp at nite and KSU still favored by 6.5! I think the home crowd will affect this game! I think the Cats win outright by a FG.

I want to see four quarters of good play and good coaching before getting my hopes up of defeating anyone decent in the Big XII.

While I don't feel very confident, I can appreciate your enthusiasm. I hope you're right!

Go Bearcats!

Hopefully being thin at the QB position, Johnson will not attempt that many runs. He had 2 INT against Washington State.
"Avery Johnson is available, but the Wildcats may be one injury report away from real trouble. Junior Blake Barnett is out, while backup Dillon Duff and fifth-year Minnesota transfer Jacob Knuth are both listed as “questionable” on the latest availability report. Kansas State is not sounding alarms, but the possibility of being down three quarterbacks is enough to make this one worth watching closely."
