Miller Was Ready to Do Anything to Help the Team

One of the most unique true freshmen in the Football Bowl Subdivision stands after Monday morning's practice in a sleeveless purple hoodie with "K-STATE" emblazoned upon the center of his chest. About one month has passed since 6-foot-6, 294-pound Oliver Miller, one of the Wildcats' most athletic offensive linemen, listened to head coach Collin Klein and assistant coaches discuss with him a new possibility, a new opportunity, to help the Wildcats as senior tight end Garrett Oakley recovered from an illness and senior Will Anciaux went down with a season-ending injury.

Big 12 HC Faces Roster Nightmare as Four QBs Battle Injuries, Forcing RB to Switch Positions Before He Gets Injured Too

Kansas State had to start a fifth-year backup under center in Tempe last Saturday, and they may face uncertainty again at Colorado. It’s a clear sign of how dire the quarterback room has become. For the first time in Collin Klein’s head coaching tenure, every QB on the roster has spent time on the injury report. Heading into the weekend, Klein admits he still doesn’t know who will take the very first snap. On3’s Derek Young reported via X that all four Kansas State quarterbacks are injured, with Klein thinking of an emergency option. Running back Joe Jackson stepped in, but he ended up injured...

The Continual Improvement of Derrick Salley Jr.

And he's just getting started.

K-State, Nebraska honor former broadcaster Greg Sharpe with scholarship game

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (WIBW) - Monday night’s exhibition basketball game between K-State and Nebraska meant more than a preseason matchup.

Why Casey Alexander isn't worried about Kansas State after two exhibition losses

The Kansas State men’s basketball team concluded its exhibition season with an 88-84 loss to Nebraska on Monday on a semi-neutral court in Grand Island. Combine that result with a 71-67 home loss to Missouri , and some will naturally feel disappointed that the Wildcats lost both of their preseason games. But new head coach Casey Alexander isn’t worried about his team. “I’m disappointed we didn’t win,” Alexander said Monday evening. “But I told the guys that, ultimately, I have no concern about what happened in the game.” Indeed, there are reasons to feel optimistic about the Wildcats even after a pair of preseason losses. Missouri and Nebraska both played in the NCAA Tournament last season. On paper, they were obvious favorites against a K-State team that is coming off back-to-back losing seasons. But the Wildcats pushed both of them until the end. The Wildcats trailed 82-74 in the final minutes against the Cornhuskers, but they battled until the final buzzer and pulled within two points several times in the closing seconds. Instead of letting the game get away from them, they forced Nebraska to clinch the game at the free-throw line. “We played to win,” Alexander said. “We played

Colorado vs. Kansas State betting odds, spread for Week 9 matchup

The Colorado Buffaloes (2-5, 0-4 Big 12) continued their slide in Week 8, losing 57-24 to Oklahoma State after 37 unanswered points. Fortunately for the Buffs, the schedule lightens this week with a home game against the Kansas State Wildcats , 4-3 overall and 1-3 in the Big 12. CU might not be favored, but it is only a slight underdog this week after being a double-digit underdog the last few games. Entering the Kansas State-Colorado game, the Wildcats have some major questions at quarterback. Starting quarterback Avery Johnson missed last weekend's game against Arizona State, and third-string quarterback Blake Barnett did too. Jacob Knuth started and struggled, completing just 26 of 41 passes. Who starts at quarterback is anyone's guess, with head coach Collin Klein saying Monday that all four quarterbacks, including the emergency quarterback, are banged up. Colorado's defense showed holes, especially at cornerback, where the Buffs were exposed all game long. Against a depleted K-State team, Chris Marve's unit should bounce back. For Colorado's offense, the key is getting the running game going against one of the Big 12's worst run defenses, as the Wildcats give up 158 yards per game. On the other hand, Kansas State's
