The Kansas State Wildcats was a co-favorite with the Utah Utes in the preseason Betting on College Football future markets to win the Big 12 Conference championship. While Utah has imploded, the Wildcats have been solid. Although not as good as advertised. Last week against the Arizona State Sun Devils, Kansas State fell far behind early in a miserable flop and ran out of time thanks to their errors. Now brings the Senior Day home finale against the Cincinnati Bearcats. Cincinnati is failing to gain traction and needs one more win for a bowl bid.

“I told the guys, “I’m going to take ownership of this on my own,’” Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said.” The whole program is on me. I didn’t do a good enough job with the game plan. I didn’t do a good enough job with the players.”
The bumbling Wildcats, who turned the ball over three times and failed to get the snap down on two field-goal tries, sure didn’t look like a conference title contender that had last week off to prepare for the Sun Devils.
