K-State Eyes Historic 4-0 Start Against Cincy
27 Sep
Summary
- Kansas State Wildcats aim for a 4-0 start, a first for a new head coach.
- Wildcats hold a significant defensive advantage over Cincinnati Bearcats.
- K-State is a 6.5-point road favorite against Cincinnati.
Kansas State, now 3-0, seeks to achieve a 4-0 season start this Saturday, a milestone that has eluded the program since 2012 and has never been accomplished by a first-year head coach. This historic opportunity comes against Cincinnati.
While statistically similar on offense, averaging 222 passing and 269 rushing yards, the Wildcats boast a substantial defensive advantage. K-State's defense is limiting opponents to under 100 combined rushing and passing yards per game, whereas Cincinnati has struggled against the pass.
The Wildcats are considered 6.5-point road favorites, a projection that acknowledges the challenge of their first away game but reflects confidence in their ability to perform against a Big 12 opponent. The game kicks off at 6:00 PM CT on ESPN2.
