VITALS: Coming off consecutive blowout victories, Kansas State will face its steepest competition next. The Red Raiders pretty much dominate in every area you can think of, owning the Big 12's best overall offense and defense. They have a suffocating run defense, with their pass rushers halting any opposing rushing attacks. They are also getting quarterback Behren Morton back in the fold after missing the last two games with injury.

QUOTABLE: "I don't think you get revived when you get to November, but there’s a lot more juice and energy when you play good football, and it shows," K-State coach Chris Klieman said in his pregame interview. "You win a few games and then go on the road like we did at KU in a game that not a lot of people thought we were gonna win. Then we went and dominated that game, so yeah, that brings a lot of energy to the team and the program."
