How to Watch: Houston at K-State
K-State will try to knock off a Willie Fritz-coached team for the first time.
The Houston Cougars take on the Kansas State Wildcats in an upcoming college football game, set to be played on Saturday, October 10 at 2:30pm CT at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kansas. The Cats, wearing their baby blue, are coming off a tough loss to Cincinnati and are eager to bounce back. However, they face a formidable opponent in Kansas State, who enter the game as a strong favorite.
This will be the third meeting between the two schools, with K-State emerging victorious in the previous matchups. In 2022, Houston pulled off an upset by defeating Kansas State 24-19, coached by Willie Fritz. Notably, Fritz had once delivered Michael Bishop to K-State during his time at Tulane. Their recent clashes have been marked by intense competition.
Houston's primary offensive threats are their running backs, Re’Shaun Sanford II and Makhi Hughes. The duo has combined for 623 rushing yards, making the Cougars a potent ground game. Wide receiver Amare Thomas and tight end Patrick Overmeyer also pose significant scoring threats through the air. However, Houston's longest pass play this season has only reached a modest 47 yards.
Weather conditions for the game are favorable, with clear skies and temperatures in the high 70s to low 80s during tailgating. Game time temperatures are expected to climb to near 90° by kickoff, with the final score likely surpassing that mark. Despite the warm weather, the game promises to be an exciting opportunity for football fans.
