MANHATTAN — Kansas State football has suddenly fallen on hard times of late, dropping back-to-back games for the first time in nearly three years with Saturday’s 24-14 home loss to Arizona State.
The No. 25-ranked Wildcats have one more chance to send their senior class out on a positive note this Saturday when they play host to Cincinnati at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Kickoff for the home finale is set for 7 p.m. and will air on ESPN2.
With a conference championship now out of play, the Wildcats (7-3, 4-3 Big 12) can still guarantee an eighth victory for the fifth time in six years under coach Chris Klieman by knocking off Cincinnati (5-5, 3-4), a 34-17 loser at Iowa State on Saturday. K-State finishes the regular season at Iowa State on Nov. 30.
The Wildcats have not had a three-game losing streak since dropping their first three conference games in 2021.
