K-State football will host arguably one of their toughest opponents this weekend in the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Will the Wildcats be able to get the job done on their home field?

Kansas State will return home to Manhattan, but it won’t be against a cupcake opponent this weekend. No sir-ee, this weekend the 22nd ranked Cowboys of Oklahoma State are coming to town, and they’re going to be bringing the heat.

At 6-2, the Cowboys are one of the best teams in the Big 12. They got gipped out of a victory in their season opener against Central Michigan and also lost to then 16th ranked Baylor.

Oklahoma State has taken down some tough teams though, including their dominating win over West Virginia last weekend. That game ended with a 37-20 Cowboys victory.

Despite this game being at home, the Kansas State Wildcats are going to have their hands full against Oklahoma State. Let’s take a look at what to watch for in this game.
