Where to watch Kansas State vs. Kansas: TV channel, kickoff time, live stream, spread, odds

No. 16 Kansas State still has its eyes on the Big 12 Championship and a spot in the College Football Playoff. The team standing in his way this week is rival Kansas, who would like to get a win and change the outlook for their season.

Since losing to BYU on Sept. 21, Kansas State has won three straight conference games. Last week’s win was a 45-18 win over West Virginia. Wildcats quarterback Avery Johnson did everything he wanted through the air, throwing for 298 yards and three touchdowns. Johnson’s 19 completions were spread across nine different pass catchers.

Johnson has struggled with accuracy at times this season, but his dual-threat ability makes the Wildcats a real weapon behind center. So far, Johnson has thrown for 1,401 yards, ran for 306 yards and scored 17 total touchdowns.

The Jayhawks just ended a five-game losing streak with a win over Houston last weekend, and they desperately needed it. Quarterback Jalon Daniels also got back on track. He completed 16 of his 21 passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns while also running for 58 yards and a score.

The level of difficulty will increase this weekend as Kansas goes from perhaps the worst team in the Big 12 to one of the best.
