Kansas State snapped a mid-season six-game losing streak with three-straight victories to end the year at an even 6-6 straight-up. One of those wins came in a season finale 24-23 upset over West Virginia as a 6.5-point home underdog. The total stayed UNDER the 54-point closing line in that game after going OVER in seven of its previous nine outings.

The good news for the Wildcats heading into this matchup is that quarterback Joe Hubener has been upgraded to probable after suffering a lower body injury earlier in the season. They could also go with Kody Cook as the starter after he spent some time at the quarterback position. Cook also happens to be the team's second-most productive receiver with 27 receptions for 412 yards and three scores so it will be an interesting game-time decision for head coach Bill Snyder. Kansas State will probably try and squeeze as much as it can from a running game that averaged 164.3 yards a game.
