A genetic experiment that has gone awry, Willie is a Wildcat crossed with a football player, who apparently likes to play guitar (as seen on YouTube). It only takes a matter of seconds for Willie to prance around the field and fire up
5. Jordy Nelson
This season, Kansas State's senior wide receiver Jordy Nelson is second in the Big 12 in receiving with 497 yards in just four games. If the Kansas secondary is to show improvement from last season, he will be the guy it needs to cover.
4. Revenge
Last year's 39-20 blowout the Wildcats suffered was embarrassing. To add insult to injury, Kansas fans, as you may remember, decided that their Jayahwaks' victory against a 7-4 team was enough reason to tear down the goal posts in Memorial Stadium. You had better believe Kansas State remembers this embarrassment and will be seeking revenge this Saturday.
3. Kansas State Fans
While one day they may be your neighbors, on game day they will be some of the rowdiest folks in the Big 12. Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium will have the highest concentration of fans Saturday who cannot stand the Jayhawks.
--dislike being away from Lawrence, they are just 4-21 when away from home. Kansas will need to overcome its homesickness if it is to win in Manhattan on Saturday.
2. Adversity
Kansas has enjoyed an easy schedule against cupcake teams this year. Kansas State, however, suffered a heartbreaking road loss to Auburn, a team who just beat the defending National Champions, Florida, last week. Ron Prince and his boys shook off their loss to Auburn and overcome adversity, as witnessed in their 41-21 victory against Texas in Austin last week. Kansas has yet to show they can beat a proven team and overcome adversity.
