Football

Coming off of their first Big 12 Conference loss of the year, K-State football plays in Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Saturday afternoon. In what is potentially their toughest matchup so far this season, the Wildcats will take on No. 14 Oklahoma State.

The Cowboys come into Manhattan with a 4-1 overall record and a 3-1 record in the Big 12. K-State enters Saturday’s matchup with a 4-2 record overall and a 4-1 conference record.

This game is crucial in determining the future Big 12 champion. OSU, like K-State, is looking to bounce back from a tough loss, as they lost 41-34 to Texas in overtime last weekend in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

The Volleyball team plays back to back matches at Texas Tech on Nov. 6 and 7. K-State split matches with KU last weekend, winning Saturday’s match in five sets.
