I've simply stated this the last four games for Kansas State. Better run game, better coach, better defence. I was looking for someone's big play this week on the Jayhawks. Here are some facts from someone that lives right between these two schools.
Kansas State will have close to 10,000 fans there. (I'd be surprised if more then 45 showed up). Bill Snyder has won all five times when ranked KSU has visited Lawrence, outscoring KU 229-44- an average of 45.8 to 8.8. Bill Snyder has won all eight times when ranked playing KU outscoring the Jayhawks 366-76- an average of 46 to 9.5. Kansas is 2-17 against Big 12 opponents since 2009. Big 12 opponents have outscored KU 784-386- an average of 41.3 to 20.3 in that time. Kansas has lost 7of 8 against top 25 teams since 2009. Opponents have outscored KU 41.3 to 16.3 in those games. Kansas opponents averaging 627 yards and 57 pts the last four games. I know KSU is better then they were last year, and KU is not any better. The score last year in a game that was also played in Lawerence, 59-7 Kansas State winning easily. Bill usually does not let off the pedal when playing KU.
Kansas State or nothing here!
