Kansas State routed Kansas to earn a shot at payback against TCU on Saturday.  Consider that Kansas State blew a 28-10 lead and lost 38-28 to the Horned Frogs during the regular season.  Now, they’ll face each other again

It will be the first time the Wildcats play in the Big 12 title game, which went on hiatus from 2010-17 since toppling then-No.  1 Oklahoma in 2003.  By contrast, TCU was beaten by the Sooners in their only previous appearance in the 2017 championship game.

Of great concern is that Kansas State has struggled defensively the past two weeks.  K-State gave up 31 points to West Virginia before coughing up plenty of yards against the Jayhawks.  Defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman’s bunch will need to do better against the Horned Frogs.
