'Cats and Pokes meet in Big 12 brawl
Stillwater, OK (Sports Network) - The 25th-ranked Kansas State Wildcats begin a treacherous stretch at the back end of their schedule when they travel to Stillwater for a Big 12 tussle with the dangerous Oklahoma State Cowboys.Four of K-State's final six games will be played on the road, although the Wildcats have proven this year that they are going to bring their "A-game" no matter where they play. The team's only two road games this year both came against nationally ranked programs; a narrow season-opening loss at Auburn and a late-September thrashing of the Texas Longhorns in Austin. Kansas State enters this tilt on the heels of last weekend's 47-20 defeat of Colorado.
But the Wildcats can ill-afford to look past the Cowboys, who are coming off last week's impressive 45-14 win at Nebraska, their first win in Lincoln since 1960. The bout also marks Homecoming in Stillwater, as the Cowboys are idle next weekend. Oklahoma State's offense is as dangerous as any in the Big 12, and the Cowboys have won three of their last four games overall, which includes a shootout victory over 22nd-ranked Texas Tech a few weeks ago.
OSU holds a 33-22 edge in the head-to-head series with KSU, including a 17-8 advantage in Stillwater.
Kansas State boasts a balanced offense with key contributors at the skill positions. Sophomore quarterback Josh Freeman is averaging 253.8 passing yards per game while completing 61.6 percent of his passes. Freeman has been well protected, as the Wildcats lead the Big 12 and rank third nationally in sacks allowed. He has struggled a bit, however, with a 5:7 touchdown to interception ratio. His favorite target is the dynamic Jordy Nelson, who, through six games has amassed 56 catches with an average of 121.2 ypg. Nelson can do it all, from his soft hands, to his ability to create separation and then run after the catch. He has even thrown two touchdowns this year. James Johnson (84.2 ypg) spearheads the rushing attack with seven touchdowns and an average of 5.7 ypc, and he is coming off a 159-yard, two-touchdown performance in last week's win.
The K-State defense continues to gel with each passing game. This unit ranks near the top of the conference in virtually every major defensive category. The Wildcats rank in the top third nationally in total defense (325.5 ypg), rushing defense (112.5 ypg) and pass efficiency defense (106.39). They are second in the conference and 11th in the nation in sacks, as the defense boasts seven players with at least two sacks. The special teams has done a tremendous job setting up the offense, as Kansas State leads the nation in punt return average, at 21 yards per return. Last week, the defense excelled against the pass by intercepting Colorado quarterback Cody Hawkins three times. Hawkins completed less than half of his pass attempts. However, Colorado running back Hugh Charles racked up 171 yards on the ground, an area the Wildcats must shore up with OSU's dangerous ground game on tap.
That OSU ground game is highlighted by the Big 12's reigning Offensive Player of the Week Dantrell Savage, who is coming off a career-high 212 rushing yards in the rout of Nebraska. Behind Savage, the Cowboys boast the nation's sixth- best running attack at 246.3 ypg. In addition to paving the way for Savage, the Oklahoma State offensive line has done a tremendous job protecting sophomore quarterback Zac Robinson, as the team ranks 10th in the nation by allowing only one sack per game. Robinson has had ample time to look downfield for Adarius Bowman, arguably the conference's, if not the nation's, top receiver. Through seven games, Bowman has tallied 44 catches and six touchdowns, with an average of 103 ypg. He is a physical specimen who combines raw speed, size (6-4, 220), and an innate ability to play the position. Most importantly, it seems the Cowboys are currently putting all the pieces on offense together, as they scored on each of their first six possessions against Nebraska, and took a 38-0 lead into the half.
If there is an area that stands out as OSU's weakness, it is the team's inability to defend the pass. Entering this tilt, the Cowboys rank 112th out of 119 FBS teams in pass defense, allowing 294.29 ypg through the air. Part of the problem has been the struggles of the front-seven to create much pressure, considering the team is generating only 1.43 sacks per game, which ranks 91st in the nation. Now, the Cowboys must deal with the mobility element that Freeman brings to the table, as the defensive ends must be disciplined in the pass rush lanes. Senior defensive end Rod Johnson, however, said earlier this week that this is the most confident he has ever seen the defense. Last week, the Cowboys held the Cornhuskers to 17 first downs and 335 yards of total offense. Nebraska quarterback Sam Keller completed only 10 passes for 129 yards, and he was intercepted twice.
