BCS Implications

If Kansas State can win this game it will position them right in the middle of the first BCS rankings when they are announced on Sunday.

Kansas State will have to score a lot of points in this game to keep up with this Red Raiders offense. If Klein has a big day, the Wildcats will continue their perfect season.

Texas Tech Player to Watch: QB Seth Doege

Seth has been on fire this year through five games. In those five games Doege has a QB Rating of 158.3 with 1706 yards, 17 touchdowns and just one interception.

Key Matchup: Kansas State’s secondary vs. Seth Doege

Seth Doege and the Texas Tech passing game will put this Kansas State secondary to its biggest test this year. How will the Wildcats respond to an offense that does not stop going?

Kansas State just does not have the offensive fire power to keep up with Texas Tech. Tech will get the upset victory that they almost had against Texas A&M last week at home.
