College football returns this weekend across the country, and the Kansas State Wildcats will be looking to pick up a win from across the Atlantic Ocean.

 

The No. 17 Wildcats open with conference rival Iowa State in Dublin, Ireland, just the second time in program history the team will open with a Big 12 opponent. The game will also be the second time KSU has played out of the United States, with the first against Nebraska in 1992, in Tokyo, Japan.

 

Head Coach Chris Klieman says this is a great week for both the school and the conference.

 

Both the Wildcats and Cyclones are viewed as Big 12 championship contenders this season, and KSU will be looking for revenge after Iowa State won a thriller in Ames last November. Klieman says he hopes his players get a special memory this weekend.

 

Coverage of Kansas State-Iowa State begins tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. CT, when KGGF 690 AM will join for kickoff.
