Kansas State vs Kansas Game Preview
Why Kansas State Will Win
And there’s the Kansas we’re all used to.
After looking brilliant at times against Oklahoma in the stunning 35-23 loss to a team that’s probably going to end up in the College Football Playoff, it all came crashing back to reality in a 55-3 loss to Oklahoma State.
The defense was bad, the offense worse, and the team that’s the worst in the nation in a few areas – most specifically, third down defense – showed just how far things still have to go.
Kansas State has been okay over the last two weeks – it basically got two coaches fired.
Matt Wells was sacked by Texas Tech after losing a tight battle to the Wildcats, and the Gary Patterson ended at TCU after lat week’s loss.
What is Kansas State doing better now after a three-game losing streak? It’s simple … it played mediocre teams and the D stepped up.
5-0 when holding teams to 340 yards or fewer, 0-3 when it doesn’t, it now gets a Kansas State that only got to 340 three times, and …

The Oklahoma game might have been an aberration, but it should be able to come up with enough third down conversions to keep things moving a little bit – Kansas State struggles to get off the field.
Yes, the Jayhawk D can’t come up with enough meaningful stops, again, this isn’t a K-State offense with a ton of firepower. It doesn’t generate a whole lot of first downs and usually plays low scoring, close battles.

What’s Going To Happen
No, Kansas State isn’t going to make this three in a row – Kansas head coach Lance Leipold won’t be fired after this.
Kansas will be far, far better than it was against Oklahoma State – the Cowboy D is a killer – but it’ll sputter just enough in the second half to allow Kansas State to go on a run.
Once again, the Jayhawk defense won’t be able to last.
