Kansas State is coming off a bye after shocking Oklahoma on the road two weeks ago. Kansas (1-3) is coached by Charlies Weis, who is using ex-Notre Dame quarterback Dayne Crist as his starter. Last week, they blew a 10-point fourth quarter lead before falling to Northern Illinois, 30-23. What Kansas needs to do better is run the football. They averaged 229 yards per game on the ground in their first tow games and then just 128 yards per game in their last two. Kansas needs a stronger game from leading rusher Tony Pierson, who has 309 yards rushing this season. No matter what the records are, Kansas should be on form against their rival.
