Kansas State Wildcats Game Notes
Will Howard completed 27 of 42 passes for 255 yards and one interception during Saturday’s 44-31 win versus UCF. He also had seven rushes for 64 yards with two touchdowns. Howard and the Widlcats spoiled the Knights’ Big 12 debut as the dual-threat quarterback added his fourth and fifth rushing scores of the year. Although he entered the game with an undisclosed injury, he played the entire game and was productive as he has been all season long. Kansas State will be on a bye this next week before playing at Oklahoma State in a game where they should be able to put up a ton of points.
Oklahoma State Cowboys Game Notes
Alan Bowman is expected to retain his starting role during Saturday’s matchup with Kansas State, McClain Baxley of 247Sports.com reports. Bowman excelled in his last outing against Iowa State, totaling 278 passing yards (23-of-48), two touchdowns and two interceptions, adding on one score on the ground. The senior quarterback has “played good enough to get the start” according to head coach Mike Gundy, and he is expected to do so against the Wildcats.

Kansas State vs. Oklahoma State Betting Prediction
Last week, Oklahoma State showed signs of life offensively for the first time this season. Ollie Gordon rushed for 121 yards and the Cowboys gained over 400 yards of total offense against Iowa State. The Wildcats are also dead last among Big 12 teams in passing offense, so the Cowboys will have opportunities to put the ball in the air. Ultimately, 11 points is too much to lay on a Friday night in a conference game. This line feels inflated.
