Kansas State Wildcats: (+450)

 

• The line for this game is Oklahoma State by 14 points.

• Chuba Hubbard had Heisman Trophy aspirations coming into the 2020 season. While the Oklahoma State running back’s numbers so far this season have not been as gaudy as expected, slowing Hubbard remains a key focus for Kansas State as the Wildcats host the No. 14 Cowboys on Saturday afternoon in Manhattan, Kan. Hubbard rushed for 296 yards and a touchdown in Oklahoma State’s 26-13 victory over Kansas State last season. Coming off a 2,094-yard season last year, Hubbard has just 550 yards (4.6 yards per carry) through five games this year. But Klieman also is concerned with other weapons on the Oklahoma State offense.

• Oklahoma State (4-1, 3-1 Big 12) dominated Texas on the stat page last Saturday in a 41-34 overtime loss, but four costly turnovers doomed the Cowboys. Coach Mike Gundy is not worried about a carryover effect. The Cowboys ranks fourth in total offense and second in rushing offense in the Big 12. Oklahoma State is rated second in total defense and first in scoring defense.

• Kansas State (4-2, 4-1) is ranked sixth in scoring offense in the conference and tied for fourth in scoring defense while ranking eighth in total offense and total defense. Gundy is not swayed by those stats. “They’re a tough football team,” Gundy said. “They play quality defense. They take a lot of pride in tackling. Offensively, they slipped a little bit last week, but prior to that, you can see a team that’s played well and won a lot of football games.”
