Baylor's Aerial Assault Poses Tough Test for Kansas State's Struggling Defense
3 Oct
Summary
- Kansas State started season 1-3 but has chance to make noise against Arizona
- Baylor suffered tough losses but aims to bounce back with strong ground and air game
- Kansas State's run defense has been inconsistent, allowing over 200 yards in last 3 games
As of October 4th, 2025, the Kansas State Wildcats are seeking to build on a recent win over UCF and make some noise in the Big 12 standings. The team started the season with a disastrous 1-3 record, but a victory over UCF last week may have provided the spark they needed.
However, the Wildcats now face a formidable opponent in the Baylor Bears. Baylor suffered tough losses to Auburn and Arizona State earlier in the season, but they bounced back with a win over Oklahoma State. The Bears' offense has been a major strength, with quarterback Sawyer Robertson leading the nation in passing yards per game.
Kansas State's defense has been a concern, as they have consistently struggled to stop the run, allowing over 200 yards in each of their last three games. This could spell trouble against a Baylor team that has been effective on the ground and is now unleashing a potent aerial attack.
The Wildcats will need to find a way to disrupt Baylor's passing game and slow down their offense if they hope to pull off the upset. With four road games in the next six, this matchup could be a crucial turning point for Kansas State's season.
