Offense: Kansas has shown it can make plays. Dylan Smith had a career-high passing day in last week's 34-16 loss at Oklahoma. Problem is, he also accounted for five interceptions and two fumbles. The only way the Jayhawks have a chance is if Smith can keep the turnovers down, Kansas State brings a strong attack, led by quarterback Jonathan Beasley. Advantage: Kansas State.
Defense: So Kansas showed it can stop the pass against a real team — kind of. Sooners quarterback Josh Heupel threw for 346 yards, and Kansas coach Terry Allen has expressed concern that Kansas State will be more difficult because it mixes things up more. Advantage: Kansas State

Intangibles: if this game was in Manhattan, fahgadebout. But it's in Lawrence, so the jayhawks stand some sort of chance against the No. 4 team in the nation. Advantage: Kansas.
Special teams: Kansas finally has proven it can get a punt off without fail, and kicker Juno Garcia is better from 49 yards than he is from extra-point range. Kansas State might only have to kick extra points. Advantage: Kansas State
**Coaches:** Wildcats coach Bill Snyder has instrumented what Allen has called the greatest turnaround in college football history. The same cannot be said by Snyder about Allen's Jayhawks. To be fair, Alien has not had as many years to make the turnaround. Still.. Advantage: Kansas State.

K-State chasing national title
By Allan Davis
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas State, one win from the national championship game in 1998 and last year, rolls into tomorrow's Sunflower State Showdown at Memorial Stadium trying to stay undefeated, maintain its position in the polls, stay atop the league standings and keep the Governor's Cup.
The Wildcats (5-0, 1-0 in the Big 12 Conference) are ranked No. 4 in the nation and once again are contending for the national title.
K-State has been an offensive powerhouse in its first five games. The Wildcats lead the nation in team scoring offense, averaging 51.2 points a game. They are eighth in the nation in yards per game, averaging 473.
K-State can run and pass, averaging 236 yards rushing per game and 237 yards passing. But the Wildcats have run the ball 239 times in their five games while attempting only 111 passes.
Senior quarterback Jonathan Beasley, much-maligned in the past, ranks No. 1 in the nation in passing efficiency. Against Colorado, Beasley completed 15 of 25 passes for 293 yards and three touchdowns.
K-State averages more than 18 yards on its 65-pass completions, and senior wide receiver Quincy Morgan's seven touchdown receptions ties him for the national lead.
scoring defense, allowing only 9.6 points per game.
The Wildcats are dominant on defense as well. K-State is third in the nation in team total defense, allowing only 228 yards per game. The Wildcats are seventh in passing yards allowed one spot better than the Jayhawks, who are eighth. K-State is tied for seventh in team
They have also won their last seven games against Kansas by an average score of 37-10 and have won the last three times they came to Lawrence.
Notes: Wildcat Cliff Holloman, a senior defensive tackle, will be on the opposite side of the field from his younger brother, Jayhawk junior defensive end Ervin Holloman. However, Cliff Holloman said it wasn't really a special event.
"I just take it like it's another game." Cliff Holloman said. "Everything is intense anyway."
The Holloman brothers aren't the only ones having a reunion tomorrow. Jayhawk junior wide receiver Roger Ross, and Wildcat cornerback Dyshod Carter both attended the same high school, Thomas Jefferson in Denver.

Colorado, which has struggled through a challenging early season, will play another tough opponent tomorrow when it faces off with Texas A.M. Colorado's first four opponents have a combined record of 14-2, which is a big reason the Buffaloes are 0-4 and 0-1 in the Big 12.
Aggies quarterback Mark Farris has completed 64.6 percent of his 19 passes, the best in the Big 12. Running back Ja'Mar Toombs, a 275-pound junior, is averaging 10.5 points per game, sixth in the nation. The Aggies (3-1, 1-0) returned seven defensive starters, but injuries have taken their toll.
No. 2 Nebraska at Iowa State.
The Cornhuskers are third in the nation in total offense, averaging 486.8 yards per game. Nebraska fell to No.2 in the Associated Press poll after winning 42-24 against Missouri.
Nebraska (4-0, 1-0) will give Iowa State (4-0, 1-0) its toughest test so far this season. The Cyclones are averaging more than 400 yards per game in total offense.
Oklahoma State at Missouri
Missouri (1-3, 0-1) must rely on redshirt freshman quarterback Darius Outlaw to replace starter Kirk Farmer, who suffered a broken collar bone last Saturday against Nebraska.
The Cowboys (2-2, 0-1) are eighth in the nation and lead the Big 12 in rushing defense, giving up only 74 yards per game.
No. 10 Oklahoma vs. No. 11 Texas at Dallas
No. 10 Oklahoma (4-0, 1-0 in the Big 12 Conference) and No. 11 Texas (3-1, 1-0) both appear to be back on the path to becoming challengers for the national title. Oklahoma quarterback Josh Heupel and Longhorn quarterbacks Major Applewhite and Chris Simms can be expected to put on an entertaining passing show.
Baylor at Texas Tech
The Red Raiders (4-1, 0-1) have beaten the Bears four consecutive times. Baylor (2-2, 0-1) ranks 10th nationally in turnover margin with a +1.5 advantage.
Texas Tech quarterback Kliff Kingsbury has thrown for 1,411 yards and a total of nine touchdowns in five games, with a completion percentage of 62.9.
