In their last game against Texas Tech Red Raiders, the Wildcats secured a narrow victory with a score of 30-27. Their performance was marked by strong punting, averaging 52 yards per punt and placing two inside the 20-yard line. The defense managed to sack the quarterback twice and intercepted two passes, one of which led to a touchdown. On offense, they had an average gain of over five yards per play but were penalized nine times for 72 yards.


The previous home game saw the Wildcats fall short against West Virginia Mountaineers with a score of 24-20. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; they achieved a red zone efficiency of 100 percent and converted nearly half of their third-down attempts. However, turnovers proved costly as they gave up two interceptions.


Looking further back to their away game against Texas Longhorns resulted in another close defeat with a scoreline reading 27-24 for Texas. The defense recorded two sacks and one interception returned for eleven yards while special teams contributed with a kick return touchdown.


Kansas State's recent performances suggest that they are capable of making big plays on both sides of the ball but need to maintain discipline to minimize penalties and turnovers. With home-field advantage at Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium known for its vibrant atmosphere that often energizes the home team while challenging visitors, it could be an influential factor.


Fans can catch all the action on December 1st at Fox Sports 1 network as these conference rivals go head-to-head in what promises to be an exciting college football showdown.
