Kansas State is one of the best defensive teams in the Big 12. You could argue they’re about as good as Iowa State if not better.

Nobody mistakes any Oklahoma State running back for an elite rusher, but a defensive performance like that is worthy of attention.
Texas has seemingly unlimited firepower, but Kansas State should force the Longhorns to make difficult plays on Saturday. Here’s how Steve Sarkisian could attack the opposing defense this week.
