Kansas State is entering this game with a 6-2 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 6th home game of the season as they are 4-1 in their home games this year. This will also be the 6th conference matchup on their conference schedule this season as they are 4-1. They won against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in their last game at home 48-0. Will Howard started that game at QB and he completed 21/37 passes for 296 yards and 4 touchdowns. Deuce Vaughn led the team in rushing with 158 yards and 1 TD on 22 carries. Malik Knowles led the team in receiving with 113 yards on 8 receptions. Nick Allen led the defense in that game with 6 solo tackles and 2 assisted tackles. Brendan Mott, Felix Anudike, and Krew Jackson each led the defense in sacks with 1 while Krew Jackson came away with the only interception for them in that game.

The current betting odds have Kansas State listed as a 2.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. KSU has been having a great season as they are 2nd place in the Big 12 and this is a huge game for them as there are no other 4-1 teams in their conference so they can really spread the gap between them and 3rd place with a win here and they will be that much closer to the Big 12 title game. This game is also very important to Texas though as a win for them would tie KSU in conference record at 4-2 and even give Texas the H2H against them. Texas just had their bye week so they are really prepared for this game but they blew a late lead to Oklahoma State in their last game losing it when this KSU team is going to have a ton of confidence from their last win as they shut out that same Oklahoma State team 48-0 here at home. Kansas State is going to be looking to deliver the same fate to Texas here and they have been a really good team in their home games. Texas has only played 2 games on the road this season and both were losses where they blew a lead in the game. The best way to place a bet here is on Kansas State to cover the spread in this game.

“My biggest thing for Quinn is ... that playing quarterback, when you win you probably get too much credit and when you lose you probably get too much blame. And you have to be careful to ride that emotional roller coaster of the highs and the lows of the perception from the outside." - Steve Sarkisian on his starting QB after his team’s loss against Oklahoma State in their last game.

 

 

“We have flipped the page. We’ve got the next one on the docket, and it’s Texas coming off of an open week. I know they’re extremely well-coached. They’ve got great talent, but they’ll have some things for us that I’m sure we haven’t seen that we’ll have to adapt and adjust.” - Chris Klieman on his team’s upcoming game against Texas here.
