Coaches Klein and Morris: A Familiar Field?
7 Nov
Summary
- Morris's team won decisively against Klein's in 2008.
- Both coaches played each other as players in Manhattan.
- OSU leads series, but K-State won last year's game.
Oklahoma State football coach Eric Morris has a unique history with Kansas State's Collin Klein, holding a 1-0 player record against him. This past encounter occurred in 2008 when Morris's Texas Tech Red Raiders secured a 58-28 victory in Manhattan over Klein's Kansas State Wildcats. Morris, then a senior, had a notable performance, while Klein, a freshman, was a reserve player.
Now, Morris and Klein will renew this familiar rivalry, but this time as head coaches. Their teams are set to clash at noon on Saturday. Oklahoma State currently leads the overall series against Kansas State with a 43-26 advantage. However, their recent performance in Manhattan has been challenging, with OSU's last win there dating back to 2020. Last season, Kansas State defeated OSU 14-6 in Stillwater.
