Point Spread: 1.50 | -107.00 Kansas State (Home)
Result: Loss
Kansas State lost 3 games this season, all to teams who were ranked no lower than 6th. In other words, only elite teams have been able to subdue the Wildcats this season.
Kansas State's Jake Waters looks to continue the strong finish to his college career, having completed 73.9 percent of his passes for an average of 331.3 yards in his last three games. The dual-threat quarterback has thrown for 3,163 yards and 20 touchdowns with six interceptions while rushing for 471 yards and eight scores.
Kansas State's offesnse relies heavily on the pass, not that they can't run the ball, as Charles Jones and DeMarcus Robinson have been productive in spots. Jones has 13 TD runs on just 521 yards rushing. Waters himself has run it in 8 times. But at under 4 yards per run team-wide, their strength is the aerial attack, with dynamic Tyler Lockett and Curry Sexton. Lockett has 1351 yards on 91 catches, while Sexton has 955 yards receiving. Both players are top-notch and very dependable.
Defensively, Kansas State is pretty tough. They allowed only an average of 21.8 points per game, while being particularly stout against the run, allowing an average of 124 yards per game. When averaging 36 points per game offensively, I like them as a small dog here.
Kansas St is well coached by Synder.K-State is just as physical as Stanford. This is NOT a good matchup for the Bruins.
K-State does not beat itself
They have committed just 11 turnovers this season, tied for second-fewest in the FBS.
The Wildcats have allowed 32 points off turnovers, eight-fewest in the FBS.
Kansas State has committed 11 defensive penalties this season, second-fewest in the FBS.
If K State controls the ball it is lights out for the Bruins. Head Coach Bill Synder is a guy who can coach a team. Very disciplined. His only losses are to Auburn and he should have won that and Baylor and TCU on the road. Bill Snyder will have his team ready for this bowl game this evening.
