K-STATE RETURNS HOME TO HOST IOWA STATE
Following a 59-44 setback at Texas Tech last week, K-State will return home on Saturday and welcome the Iowa State Cyclones to Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The game will kick at 11 a.m., and be broadcast nationally on FS1 with Justin Kutcher (play-by-play) and Steve Hutchinson (analyst) on the call. The contest can also be heard across the K-State Sports Network with Wyatt Thompson (play-by-play), Stan Weber (analyst) and Matt Walters (sideline) calling the action.
A LOOK AT K-STATE

• K-State has three games remaining, two of which are at home, and still remain in contention for bowl eligibility.
• The Cats, guided by 2015 College Football Hall of Fame inductee Bill Snyder, are 3-6 this year, which includes close losses to No. 19 OSU, No. 2 TCU and No. 2 Baylor.
• K-State took the Horned Frogs down to the wire behind four rushing touchdowns by Joe Hubener and two more from running back Charles Jones. The Cats tied the game at 45 with 1:47 left, but TCU scored a late TD for the win.
• That came a week after K-State took a 34-33 lead over OSU in Stillwater with 3:01 left, but the Cowboys kicked a field goal with less than a minute left for a two-point win.
• Hubener then ran for a career-best 153 yards against the second-ranked Bears as the Cats had the ball with less than a minute to play in the game with a chance to tie the game.
• Jones has been fantastic of late, rushing for 390 yards in the last five games. The junior had a career-best 122-yard effort at Texas, the most by a K-State running back since the final regular-season game of 2013.
• Defensively, the Cats are paced by linebackers Elijah Lee and Will Davis with 58 and 47 tackles, respectively. The two have also combined for all three Wildcat interceptions this year, including two by Lee against TCU.
• Defensive tackles Travis Britz and Will Geary have also been a force, combining for 65 tackles (7.22 per game), 14.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks.

A LOOK AT IOWA STATE

• Iowa State enters Saturday’s game at 3-7 and 2-5 in the Big 12 after a tough 35-31 loss to undefeated OSU.
• ISU is 0-4 on the road this season and 3-3 at home.
• The Cyclones are led by a trio of young players as freshman running back Mike Warren has rushed for 1,070 yards, sophomore quarterback Joel Lanning has emerged late in the season and sophomore wide receiver Allen Lazard leads the team with 46 catches for 647 yards.
• On defense, Brian Peavy has a team-best 71 tackles and two interceptions, while Dale Pierson has 12.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks.

A LOOK AT THE SERIES

• Iowa State leads the all-time series, 49-45-4, but K-State is 26-21-1 in games played in Manhattan and is 21-4 against the Cyclones since 1990.
• Kansas State has won seven straight in the series and four straight in games played in Manhattan.
• Bill Snyder is 19-4 against Iowa State and has won six in a row since returning to the sidelines in 2009.
