K-State Football: Three Things to Watch Vs TCU Horned Frogs

Should this game become a shootout, the Wildcats will have to rely on running the ball no matter what. Otherwise, they have a very small chance of winning the game.
Jesse Ertz is a great runner, but he just doesn’t have the passing skills to help this team keep up in an offensive showdown. He can use his legs to make big plays, but that’s what his biggest asset needs to be on Saturday.
The title should more so be “K-State HAS to keep running” because that gives them the best chance to win this game.
TCU’s defense gave up nine points last week to Texas, but they did give up nearly 200 yards on the ground. If the Longhorns can do that type of damage, just imagine how badly the Wildcats will be able to beat up on the Horned Frogs.
