Poll Results: OSU Fans Most Concerned About K-State Game

I asked, you answered. The Kansas State game was voted Oklahoma State’s most likely to lose on the remainder of their schedule. I agree. It’s probably the only one OSU won’t be favored in (depending on how the TCU game shakes out), and OSU has only won once there since 1988.

Kansas State has also won 81 percent of its games at home since 1990. I know that has nothing to do with this year’s team, but I’m pretty sure Mike Gundy knows he’s in for a war on Saturday.

Or at least that’s what he’s preached to his players.

“It’s a tough place to go to and they’re very disciplined and they don’t make mistakes,” said lineman Zach Crabtree. “Coach Gundy has talked about that and so we have to play a clean game. That’s what will give us a chance to go up there and beat them.

“Coach Gundy compares it to a boxing match and that’s what it’ll be like. They’re going to get their punches and we’re going to get ours, but we just have to keep chipping away and at the end of the fight, we just need to have a little bit more than they do.”

“They’ve always been a physical group, and that’s kind of what (Kansas State coach Bill) Snyder’s always been about,” added quarterback Mason Rudolph. “They’re a well-disciplined unit and a good team all around, especially on the defensive side of the ball.”

Which game is #okstate most likely to lose before making it to Norman for a potential B12 title match?

On to your comments.

Laith: K State. We’re coming off a big win. And it’s never ever easy against K State, home or away. Not to mention we haven’t won there in how many years? I actually feel much better about Tech at home with their lack of defense and running game. And TCU is just laying an egg this year.

BJ: K-State easy pick here. Always play us well, especially in Manhattan. And let’s face it, nobody is talking about it, but TCU had been very mediocre since joining Big 12 other than the last 2 years of Boykin running the air raid. 7-6 in 2012, 4-8 in 2013, and 4-4 this year.

KS Pokes Fan: K-State by a big margin. The Snydercats won’t beat themselves. We will have to stop the run and that doesn’t seem likely. K-State will try to control the tempo of the game as they always do. We can’t score if they have the ball. Then comes the OU game. Their running game will be hard to stop.
