Any Other Result

 

• The line for this game is Kansas State by 26.5 points.

• Kansas State will try to hand coach Bill Snyder a milestone victory when the Wildcats host rival Kansas on Saturday. Snyder can become this sixth FBS coach to win 200 victories at one school but he’s not focused on that.

• Redshirt freshman quarterback Carter Stanley (657 yards, four TDs, four INTs) has thrown for 391 yards, two interceptions and a touchdown in back-to-back starts. Steven Sims Jr., who leads the team with 67 catches for 818 yards, has seven touchdowns receptions – the most at Kansas since 2009. Senior safety Fish Smithson leads the Jayhawks with 82 tackles and recorded his fourth interception last week against Texas.

• Running back Alex Barnes (339 yards, five TDs) took his turn leading the Kansas State rushing attack with 129 yards and four scores against Baylor. Kansas State’s ground attack – led by quarterback Jesse Ertz (676 yards, nine TDs this season) and Charles Jones (555 yards, two scores) – has rushed for 582 yards and 10 scores in its past two games. The Wildcats, who lead the Big 12 with a plus-nine turnover margin, lead the conference in rushing defense (110.8).

• Snyder’s 199 victories rank first in FBS among active coaches at their current school and second overall behind Nick Saban’s 202.

• Kansas sophomore DE Dorance Armstrong Jr. (17 tackles for loss, 10 sacks) and Kansas State senior DE Jordan Willis (13.5 tackles for loss, nine sacks) rank 1-2 in the Big 12 in tackles for loss and sacks.

• The Wildcats have rushed for at least 200 yards in four straight conference games, their longest such streak since 2003.
