The Matchup
Kansas State is averaging 35.5 points per game and allowing 20 on defense, numbers that hold up well against a Colorado offense that is scoring 19.5 per game. The Buffaloes have been outscored 120-51 across their four-game slide, with losses to Northwestern, Baylor, Texas Tech, and Utah. Kansas State snapped a two-game skid of its own last week with a 35-24 win over Kansas and enters on a one-game winning streak.
Recent Meetings
Kansas State has won both meetings on record in the recent window. The Wildcats took a 31-28 decision at Folsom Field in October 2024, then beat Colorado 24-14 in Manhattan last November. Colorado playing at home removes the travel factor, but the program has not closed the gap against Kansas State in either recent attempt.
