As Kansas State prepares for its third road game in four weeks, here are some key points to watch. As Kansas State heads back on the road to Houston, they’re expecting a fairly friendly atmosphere thanks to strong K-State ties in Texas and the Houston area. However, this is still a Willie Fritz-coached team, which means it will be a hard-fought game. The Wildcats are riding high after a too-close-for-comfort game against Kansas and hope to move to 8-1 heading into the bye week. Meanwhile, Houston is coming off a huge win against Utah and looks to play spoiler against a strong K-State team.
