Kansas State (7-1) fell from the ranks of the unbeaten with last week’s blowout loss to Oklahoma. <\/p>\n
Time\/Date: 8 PM EST Saturday, November 5, 2011 No. 14 Kansas State Wildcats vs. No 3 Oklahoma State Cowboys Preview<\/strong><\/p>\n The reason the Wildcats are such big betting underdogs in this game is while they do have a great rushing offense, their passing defense only ranks 103rd in the nation, they gave up a ton of passing yards in last week, and they wlll be facing an OSU passing offense that ranks 4th in the nation. NCAAF lines have OSU as 21-point favorites with a total of 69.5.<\/p>\n In their last games KSU was crushed by Oklahoma 58-17 and OSU beat Baylor 59-24.<\/p>\n This game is HUGE for the Cowboys, who can move into the top 2 teams in the BCS rankings with #1 LSU facing #2 Alabama this Saturday.<\/p>\n Does Kansas State have any chance to contain the dynamic offense of OSU? I would say no way. They have to deal with the 3-headed monster of QB Brandon Weeden, WR Justin Blackmon, and RB Joeseph Randle. In last week’s game Weeden had 3 TD passes with 0 INT, Blackmon had 172 receiving yards, and Randle had 152 rushing yards and had 4 TD for the 2nd straight game. <\/p>\n Kansas State is solid at defending the run, ranking 17th in the nation, but their pass defense is a major concern, which is a big understatement. Last week in the loss to Oklahoma they were at home and gave up 520 passing yards. Yeah, 520 passing yards at home. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n The one chance the Wildcats have in this game is they have to run for a ton of yards. They have a one dimensional offense ranking 20th in the nation in rushing yards per game, but only 113th in passing yards per game. They will have to get HUGE games from rushing RB Collin Klein and RB John Hubert, who have combined for over 1,400 rushing yards this season.<\/p>\n The Cowboys only rank 84th in the nation in defending the run, so KSU has that going for them. In last week’s loss the Wildcats only rushed for 182 yards and that will not cut it in this game. The KSU offensive line has a tall task in this game, as they have to open up holes for the rushing game and keep the OSU front line from getting to Klein. Last week against Oklahoma Klein was sacked 7 times.<\/p>\n Betting Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n This season OSU is 7-1 ATS and has an O\/U record of 3-3-2 and KSU is 6-2 ATS and has an O\/U record of 5-3. Jason’s Pick:<\/strong> OK, so KSU was at home last week and was crushed by a team that may not have as a good as offense as OSU does so how will they fare? Not well, as the Cowboys will crush the Wildcats and easily cover the spread with the total going Over.<\/p>\n The CappersPicks.com college football weekly predictions pages!
