COACHING
Bill Snyder is in his 19th season has the head
coach of the Wildcats and is famous for taking the historically bad Kansas State program and making them nationally relevant. After retiring in 2005, Snyder returned last season to help rejuvenate the program he helped build in the first place. The Wildcats have gone

MOMENTUM
— Max Vosburgh
Kansas State began the year with four straight wins, before losing to Nebraska last Thursday 48-13. It will be looking to rebound after an embarrassing loss on ESPN by taking advantage of the Jayhawks, who are also looking to redeem themselves after an embarrassing loss to Baylor two ago.

The Wildcats had been cruising until they ran into a buzzsaw last week at home against Nebraska. Nebraska however, is a national championship contending team and I doubt the Jayhawks will fair any better against them in a few weeks. Kansas State has a Hiesman Trophy candidate in running back Daniel Thomas. They also have one of the best coaches in college football. The Jayhawks have been extremely volatile at home and I still expect Snyder will have his team better prepared to rebound after a tough loss than Gill will.
AT A GLANCE
PLAYER TO WATCH
NFL draft, after Alabama's Mark Ingram. Thomas has nearly 2,000 career rushing yards and already has nearly 700 yards this season.
Senior running back Daniel Thomas Thomas is one of the best running backs in the country. ESPN's Mel Kiper is predicting Thomas to be the second running back selected
Nesbitt
QUESTION MARKS
What type of team will Kansas State be on the road?
After starting the season with five straight games at home, the Wildcats will play their first road game of the year at their in-state rival. The Jayhawks' best effort this season has been at home. Playing on the road is tough for anyone and this Wildcat team will have to prove it won't be a problem for them, even against less talented teams.
