Kansas State Is ONE Game Away From Changing the Big 12 Conversation

Kansas State put 71 points on the board in Collin Klein's debut. Now comes the part that actually matters. Are the Wildcats a legitimate Big 12 contender? Or did we learn very little from a dominant win over Nicholls? I'm not ready to call Kansas State a contender yet. But that could change very quickly. Washington State gives the Wildcats their first real test of the Collin Klein era. The Cougars' defense caused problems against Washington in the Apple Cup, and that makes this an important measuring stick for an offensive line that entered the season as one of my biggest concerns. Kansas State had zero missed assignments up front in Week 1. Do it again against Washington State, and I'm buying in. Then there's Avery Johnson. Washington State had problems containing De'Mond Williams as a runner. Now it gets an even more athletic quarterback in Johnson. I've already put my benchmark out there: 65% completion percentage. Eight carries. If Avery gives Kansas State that, I think the Wildcats win AND cover. Mike Gittens of Locked On UCF joins me as we decide which Big 12 teams are contenders and which are pretenders after Week 1. We also discuss UCF, BYU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and a Big 12 race that already looks different than we expected. #KansasState #KState #KStateFootball #Big12 #AveryJohnson #CollinKlein Photo Credit:  Scott Sewell IMAGN Go AD Free and More with the Everydayer's Club!
