The Wildcats are 3-3 after losing 38-17 to Oklahoma on Saturday. They’ll host Texas this week while the Cyclones have a bye.

As I’m sure you’ll remember, Kansas State won last season’s matchup 38-35 after the Cyclones gave up a 21-point second half lead in Manhattan. The Wildcats have won the last eight meetings between the two teams.
