The K-State Wildcats are preparing for their Week 2 matchup with Washington State under first-year head coach Collin Klein after opening the season with a lopsided win over Nicholls State. 

 

Not much went wrong for the Wildcats in their season-opening victory, but they’ll face much stiffer competition against a Cougars team that trailed No.17 Washington by just three points with 10 minutes left in Week 1.

 

Klein was proud of how his players performed last Saturday, emphasizing the offense’s third-down efficiency, but says there are still a few things to clean up, especially in the secondary. 

 

The Cougars are coming off a 24-10 loss to the Huskies, and Klein says the toughness of Washington State’s quarterback, Caden Pinnick, will be something the Wildcats have to account for in their game plan. 

 

The Wildcats will look to start the year 2-0 and get off to a fast start in non-conference play before Big 12 action begins. Pregame coverage starts at 10 a.m., with kickoff set for 11 this Saturday on the Mighty 690.
