Kansas State football travels to Ames, Iowa, while volleyball travels to Waco, Texas, as both teams prepare to play in crucial Big 12 Conference matchups this weekend.
FOOTBALL
The annual Farmageddon game is here this week as the football team travels to Ames, Iowa, to play No. 17 Iowa State Cyclones at 3 p.m.
The Wildcats (4-3) come off of their third and final bye week of the season going into their matchup with Iowa State. Before the bye week, K-State fell in a 20-18 nail-biter with Oklahoma State.
K-State set the tone well in the first half of the game with the Cowboys, leading 12-0 at halftime. But in the third quarter, the team struggled to score and had issues slowing down Oklahoma State’s newfound offense, resulting in a loss that was hard to swallow.
Iowa State (5-2) leads the Big 12 and is well-rested coming into Saturday’s game off of a bye week as well. The Cyclones edged out Baylor in their last contest 38-31 and average 33 points per game this season.
The game is available at 3 p.m. on FOX and the K-State Sports Network.
