Kansas State vs Texas Tech Game Preview


Why Kansas State Will Win

Can the running game get going again?

It’s not all that hard with Kansas State. It has to be in control of games by running the ball, it can’t rely on the passing attacks, and it has to keep things moving to help a defense that’s bad on third downs.

Texas Tech doesn’t care about the time of possession, and that’s Step One for the Wildcats. Step Two is to make sure that ball control matters by running and running some more, and Texas Tech allowed over 300 rushing yards in two of the last four games.

Kansas State is 3-0 when running for 200 yards, and 0-3 when going under.

Why Texas Tech Will Win

Back to the third down thing – Kansas State has a hard time getting its defense off the field.

The offense doesn’t control third downs as much as it has to with a defense that allows offenses to convert 45% of their chances. After doing a good job early, K-State has allowed teams to convert 47% or more of their tries in each of the last four games.

The Texas Tech offense is a tad hit-or-miss, but when it converts its third down chances – it connected on 9-of-11 in the win over Kansas and it good on 49% of its chances on the year – it wins. The team is 4-0 when getting to 40%, and 0-2 when it doesn’t.

What’s Going To Happen

Texas Tech will hit its third down conversions.

The offense has started to run better. The passing game is still the main mode of transportation, but the offense has mixed it up a bit over the last two weeks with Henry Colombi under center with over 200 yards on the ground.

It’ll be a fun back-and-forth game with the home side being a bit more effective and stronger at doing what it does.

Why Texas Tech Will Win

Alan Bowman is back, but he’s not alone.

This isn’t the normal Texas Tech offense that wings it around the yard 60 times. It’s the Texas Tech offense that wings it around 52 times a game, but there’s a decent running game to go along with the all the big throws.

RB SaRodorck Thompson has been terrific, running for over 100 yards and two scores in each of the two games while also being used a bit as a receiver out of the backfield.

Bowman was hurt in each of the last two seasons, but the sophomore QB has been good so far and should be able to bomb away on a Kansas State defense that was ripped apart through the air by both Arkansas State and Oklahoma. However …

Why Kansas State Will Win

The Wildcats are picking off passes and making big plays. There weren’t enough of them against Arkansas State – the secondary gave up five touchdown passes – but the three picks of Spencer Rattler in the win over Oklahoma made all the difference.

Bowman has been strong so far for the Red Raiders, but he has thrown four picks – granted one was in desperation in the overtime loss to Texas – and he wasn’t razor-sharp last week.

On the offensive side. Skylar Thompson threw for 334 yards last week, was in command when he needed to be, and he’s playing like the veteran starter he is. He’s been great against the Red Raiders over the last two years.

What’s Going To Happen

Can the Kansas State secondary at least hold serve?

It’s going to get hit for over 300 yards through the air, but the defense will own the turnover battle. The team is +6 in turnover margin with no giveaways so far.
