Players to watch - Kansas State Wildcats
DJ Giddens Running Back K-State- Comes into this game with 744 yards and 7 touchdowns on the ground. Baylor struggles with the rush game on defense. If K-State can get him and Treshaun Ward going the offense should not have many issues putting up points.
Kobe Savage Safety K-State- Against Baylor last year Kobe injured his knee and ended his season. This game will mean a lot against these guys. Coming into this game Kobe has taken the leadership role for the defense having 49 tackles and 2 interceptions.
Players to watch - Baylor Bears
Blake Shapen Quarterback Baylor- Blake enters this game with 1738 yards passing with 8 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. He will have to have to have one of his best performances of this season on the road to keep Baylor in this game. K-State's secondary has given up some big plays through the air this season so Blake Shapen will need to capitalize on those chances if they arise.
Matt Jones Linebacker Baylor- Comes into this game with 59 tackles, 2 sacks, and 4 pass deflections on the season. He will have a tall task against the K-State offensive line and running backs, but the Baylor defense will need him to continue having success to slow down the rushing attack from the Wildcats.
Prediction:
The Kansas State Wildcats should not have many issues in this game. Baylor has had a rough season, and it looks to continue in Manhattan Kansas. K-State wins 41-17.
