A LOOK AT K-STATE

• K-State fell to 2-3 on the year following a 19-14 setback to No. 18 Texas in a game that saw the Wildcat defense surrender just 10 total points and shut out the Longhorns in the second half.
• K-State has played both Skylar Thompson and Alex Delton in the first five games, with Thompson earning starts in four. Thompson came off the bench against the Longhorns to engineer a pair of touchdown drives.
• Wide receiver Isaiah Zuber has tallied his first two career 100-yard receiving games this year, going for 144 yards against UTSA and 133 at West Virginia. He also caught the game-winning touchdown pass late in the game against South Dakota and returned a punt 85 yards for a score against the Coyotes.
• The running game is solidified by the Wildcats’ leading rusher a year ago, Alex Barnes, who is fourth in the Big 12 at 71.4 yards per game. He recorded the fourth 100-yard rushing game of his career in the season opener, but he has become more of a receiving threat this year with seven catches for 65 yards.
• Defensively, K-State held Texas to 339 yards of offense last week and 10 points on offense. The Longhorns were averaging 31.2 points and 411.0 yards of total offense entering the game.
• K-State has held each of its last three opponents without a rushing score, the first time a Wildcat team has done so since the Auburn, UTEP and Texas Tech games in 2014.
• Junior linebacker Da’Quan Patton leads the team with 30 tackles, 17 of which have come in the last two games.
• Senior defensive back Duke Shelley is third on the team with 23 tackles and has eight passes defended, the latter tying for third in the Big 12 and 15th nationally.
• Three different Wildcats recorded interceptions against West Virginia, all of which were the first in the careers of AJ Parker, Johnathan Durham and Jahron McPherson.

A LOOK AT BAYLOR

• Baylor heads into the game with a 3-2 overall record following a 66-33 loss at No. 5 Oklahoma.
• The Bears are averaging 35.6 points per game through five games and 488.0 yards of total offense with 331.4 of those coming through the air.
• Quarterback Charlie Brewer has thrown for 1,262 yards and eight touchdowns with Jalen Hurd and Denzel Mims combining for 55 catches and five touchdowns. As a team, Baylor has completed 63.5-percent of its passes.
• On defense, the Bears are led by Terrel Bernard’s 27 tackles, while James Lynch leads the squad in sacks with 5.0 on the year.
