Kansas State vs TCU Preview

The undefeated Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University are taking on the 5-1 Kansas State Wildcats for a Big 12 showdown between two highly-ranked teams — No. 8 TCU vs. No. 17 Kansas State.

Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman said in his pre-game press conference (via 247 Sports) that they’re excited about this challenge.

“We got to weather the storm from the environment … Guys are excited about the challenge of going to TCU. We know it’s going to be a really good environment. It’s going to be really loud. We’re playing an excellent football team that our guys know is playing with a lot of confidence,” said Klieman.

He also said that TCU quarterback Max Duggan is “a nightmare” on the field and he’s got good wide receivers to help him out.

“[Duggan’s] ability to run the football, whether it’s designed runs, scrambles, has been a nightmare for teams as well as spreading the ball out,” Klieman said. “The receivers are playing at a really, really high level, the running backs are playing at a high level. They’re blocking up front really well. And then you mix in the amount of tempo that they’re running … they’re getting a lot of people misaligned.”

In his own pre-game press conference (via TCU 360), TCU head coach Sonny Dykes and his team praised Kansas State because they know this won’t be an easy victory.

“They’re hard to beat, they know how to win and they have a good formula for doing it,” said Dykes, adding, “The guys are doing what we ask them to do, we got talented guys. You know how this stuff goes, we talked about this way of climbing up the ladder — as you have success, more is expected of you and you gotta be able to carry that load. It felt like it was a little bit of a hard load for us early, felt like we played a little tight … but once we decided hey, look, we’re just gonna relax and play, then we played well. It’s gonna be important on us to just realize this is a one-week-at-a-time, what have you done for me lately business … it’s gonna be a challenge for us to finish down the stretch.”

“There are no easy games in the Big 12,” added offensive lineman Wes Harris.

The Kansas State vs. TCU game kicks off on Saturday, October 22 at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Fox Sports 1.
