Kansas State at Colorado

Kansas State will likely start its third different quarterback in as many weeks. Avery Johnson has been ruled out for a second straight game. Jacob Knuth, who rolled his ankle twice in the 28-17 loss at Arizona State, is listed as doubtful. The Wildcats scored 17 at Arizona State with Knuth and 35 against Kansas the week before. Colorado is 0-4 in the Big 12 and has lost five straight, allowing 41, 23, 29, 27 and 57 points for an average of 35.4. Over those same five games, the Buffaloes scored 15 points per game. Quarterback Isaac Wilson has thrown seven interceptions against six touchdown passes. Colorado's two wins came by one point over Georgia Tech and against Weber State, an FCS opponent. Kansas State is 4-3 overall. It beat Colorado 24-14 last November and 31-28 in Boulder in 2024. Whoever starts at quarterback for Kansas State faces a defense that has allowed at least 23 points in five straight games, and I'm taking the Wildcats on the moneyline Saturday afternoon.
