With nothing to lose, K-State eager to take a shot at No. 6 Baylor
Baylor fans are eager to watch their true freshman quarterback get his career off with a bang. But at Kansas State, the feeling is the Wildcats can lower the boom on the Baylor Bears.
Baylor (7-0, 4-0) is generating all the headlines entering tonight's nationally televised game on FS1. The nation's No. 1 offense is coming to town, but it's going to be run by Jarrett Stidham, an impressive looking 6-foot-3 gunslinger, in his first career start. K-State (3-4, 0-4), desperate to end a painful four-game skid that included near-misses against No. 8 TCU and No. 14 Oklahoma State, has nothing to lose, and look to rudely welcome Stidham to Big 12 football.
“We are rallying around each other in practice,” center Dalton Risner told the Kansas City Star. “It’s not like we haven’t won a game all year and we have no positives to look on. We have had good games. Our first three games were good. We had good games against Oklahoma State and TCU ... It is hard when we haven’t won in four weeks, but we have had a great week and a half of practice, probably the best we have had all season."
A year ago, K-State traveled to Baylor for the regular-season finale with conference title chances still in play. The Bears won and shared the title with TCU. This time K-State has no championship hopes on the line, but it certainly can damage Baylor's hopeful run to the College Football Playoff.
"We are going into the Baylor game with the attitude we can win,” Risner said.
