Kansas State is heading into its Saturday matchup against Oklahoma State with Blake Barnett under center, marking their fourth different starting quarterback in as many games. Talk about a revolving door, huh? This kind of instability is never a good sign, especially when you are already missing key players.
The Wildcats’ Injury Woes Just Keep Piling Up
It is not just the quarterback position that is a mess for the Wildcats. They already knew star Avery Johnson was out for the third straight game, which is a huge blow on its own. But now, K-State will also be without defensive tackle Eli Jackson and safety Koy Beasley when they kick off at noon CT at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Losing impact players on both sides of the ball, and especially defensively, makes an already tough situation even harder. How are you supposed to get a rhythm when you are constantly shuffling the lineup?
Oklahoma State’s Defense Is Also Feeling the Pinch
It is not all smooth sailing for Oklahoma State either, thankfully for K-State. The Cowboys are dealing with their own notable defensive injuries, with defensive end Jaleel Johnson and linebacker Tate Romney both out for the game. This could open some doors, even with K-State’s quarterback situation being what it is. It is going to be a battle of attrition out there, and which team handles its injuries better could totally decide this one. This Saturday, November 7, is going to be a wild one.
