Kansas State vs TCU Prediction
Last time out, Kansas State visited Iowa State in Farmageddon and left with a 10-9 win. It was very unfortunate that there are people out there who had to watch this game as Kansas State scored in just the first and fourth quarters, and Iowa State could only manage three field goals in three different quarters. Just a bad game to watch all around. Adrian Martinez went 12/19 for 246 yards, one touchdown, zero interceptions, and led the team with 77 rushing yards. Defensively, the Wildcats allowed 276 total yards and did not force any Iowa State turnovers.
TCU hosted the #8 Oklahoma State Cowboys and needed a comeback to win 43-40 in two overtimes. Oklahoma State led 14-7 after the first quarter, 24-13 at the half, and 30-16 after three, but it was all TCU in the final 15. The Horned Frogs scored early in the fourth quarter to make it a one touchdown game, and then tied it up with just under two minutes left. Both teams scored a TD in the first overtime, but the TCU defense stood up to force an Oklahoma State field goal in their second OT possession. Keandre Miller scored the game-winning TD with a two-yard run. Max Duggan went 23/40 for 286 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions, and added 57 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Keandre Miller had 22 carries for 104 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Defensively, TCU allowed 386 total yards and forced one Oklahoma State interception.
Series History: Kansas State has won three consecutive meetings to take an 8-7 all-time series advantage.
Pick: I like TCU to continue this magical ride and for them to get the touchdown win. Stop by the College football ATS picks section for free daily predictions
