After a heartbreaking loss to Iowa State last week, Texas hopes to rebound in a positive way when they travel to Manhattan, Kansas on Dec. 5 to face Kansas State.
The Wildcats have lost four consecutive games, while the Longhorns are seemingly deflated after being eliminated from Big 12 title contention. Will a win against Kansas State quiet down the coaching speculation at Texas?
Probably not. However, it will still be an exciting contest if you’re watching for other reasons.
It’s potentially one of the last few games that senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger will be competing in at the collegiate level. With three starters opting out for Texas, it also provides an opportunity for younger players to receive quality reps.
