Manhattan, Kansas – Kansas State coach Chris Klieman says the Wildcat defense will face a tough challenge in Saturday night’s regular season finale at Iowa State.
A year ago the Cyclones shredded the K-State defense for 258 yards of rushing and 488 yards of total offense in a 42-35 win in Manhattan.
Klieman says the Wildcats don’t want to get into a shootout.
Klieman says the Cyclone secondary does a good job of limiting big plays.
Nine teams are still mathematically alive for a spot in the Big 12 title game but the bigger concern for Klieman is access to the new 12-team playoff. Right now the Big-12 appears to be a one bid league and Klieman says that needs to be addressed.
