UPDATE: The Kansas State Wildcats face a crucial matchup against the Colorado Buffaloes today at 11 a.m. CT, as they strive for bowl eligibility. With a 5-6 overall record and a 4-4 Big 12 record, K-State is a staggering 17.5-point favorite in this pivotal game.
The Wildcats are highly motivated to secure a win, which would mark their first bowl appearance since 2021 and the opportunity to achieve a historic third consecutive bowl victory. Additionally, a triumph over Colorado would ensure K-State finishes with a winning conference record for the first time since 2014.
K-State’s recent performance has been a rollercoaster. After a narrow 51-47 loss to 13th-ranked Utah last week, the Wildcats aim to bounce back. “Winning on Senior Day is critical for the emotions in the locker room,” said head coach Chris Klieman. The Wildcats are eager to create a euphoric atmosphere for their seniors today.
Meanwhile, Colorado enters the game with a dismal 3-8 overall record and a 1-7 record in the Big 12. The Buffaloes have lost 6 of their last 7 games, with their only recent win against No. 22 Iowa State, showcasing their potential to pull off an upset. Starting quarterback Kaidon Salter, who has thrown for 1,242 yards this season, will lead the Buffaloes as they seek to salvage their struggling season.
K-State’s offense is bolstered by standout sophomore running back who rushed for a record-breaking 293 yards against Utah last week. His extraordinary performance earned him the title of Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week. The Wildcats are also relying on their offensive line, awarded the Big 12’s best last week, to dominate Colorado’s defense.
As the game unfolds, K-State’s players are confident, riding the high of last season’s thrilling 31-28 victory over the Buffaloes. With the stakes high, fans can expect an intense matchup. Deion Sanders, leading the Buffaloes, is known for his motivational tactics. He will undoubtedly push his team to fight hard in their last game of a challenging season.
With so much on the line, Kansas State is poised to secure a decisive victory, aiming for a final score of K-State 34, Colorado 17. Stay tuned for live updates on this developing story as kickoff approaches.
