TROUBLE: K-State in a BAD SPOT | FUTURE of Program in SERIOUS TROUBLE if Changes Don't Happen FAST

Kansas State football is spiraling — and after an embarrassing 24–21 loss to Army, the Wildcats are officially in serious trouble. This was supposed to be a 10–2 Big 12 contender with Avery Johnson under center. Instead, K-State has dropped back-to-back games — nearly losing to FCS North Dakota before getting stunned by an Army team that just fell to Tarleton State In today’s episode of Locked On Kansas State x The Portal, we break down: The Army Disaster: How K-State let a service academy control the game, including a brutal 99-yard kickoff return that backfired Offensive Line Issues: Once the Wildcats’ bread and butter, the O-line has been “soft” and couldn’t get a push against North Dakota, Iowa State, or Army Avery Johnson’s Struggles & Potential: Why K-State might be wasting the most talented QB in program history if they don’t unleash him in the run game Secondary in Shambles: Why this might be the worst pass defense of the Chris Klieman era — and how Big 12 quarterbacks could feast on it Future of the Program: If Kansas State keeps losing, could Kleiman’s seat get hot? And will stars like Avery Johnson, Jace Brown, and Lincoln Kienholz bolt for the transfer portal? This isn’t just a bad loss — it’s a wake-up call. If changes don’t happen fast, K-State’s entire season (and future) could be at risk. 💜 Subscribe to Locked On Kansas State for daily Wildcats coverage and follow along with The Portal Podcast for the raw, unfiltered truth about college football.
