Kansas State's total defense ranks 102nd in the country (out of 119 Football Bowl Subdivision teams), giving up a whopping 421.6 yards per game. KSU's scoring defense ranks 94th, giving up 29.8 points per game.
Those numbers are scary, no?
Get this: it might get even worse.
The first five games, K-State has faced:
North Texas (80th total offense/118th scoring offense)
Montana St. (FCS 72nd/28th)
Louisville (22nd/53rd)
Louisiana (8th/31st)
Texas Tech (2nd/5th)
Those are some good offenses, especially in the last three games.
But... Uh oh. The next seven games:
Texas A&M (95th/84th)
Colorado (89th/77th)
Oklahoma (5th/4th)
Kansas (14th/25th)
Missouri (3rd/2nd)
Nebraska (40th/30th)
Iowa State (74th/34th).
Those are all offenses that haven't had the benefit of playing Kansas State. You see, the three good offenses KSU has faced--Louisville, Louisiana, and Texas Tech, all put up numbers over their season averages against the putrid KSU defense.
Look for KU, MU, and OU to feast on K-State. Oh and the rest of them? There is nothing like K-State defense to serve as an elixir for a failing and feeble offense.
Here's to you Texas A&M!
Cheers!
