Nickname: Wildcats
Kickoff: November 20th
Location: Bill Snyder Family Stadium (Manhattan, KS)
Conference: Big 12
Head Coach: Chris Klieman (entering third year)
Last Year’s Record: 4-6
Notable Outcomes: Lost to Arkansas State, 35-31; Beat Oklahoma, 38-35; Lost to Baylor 32-31
Key Losses: Wyatt Hubert, DE; Elijah Sullivan, LB; Briley Moore, TE
Strength: Quarterback. Skylar Thompson was one of the best quarterbacks in the Big 12 last season before he was injured. The Wildcats notably suffered after that, losing their last five games in a row. Thompson is only the second quarterback in school history to pass for 5,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards, so the Wildcats should be thrilled that he appears healthy and ready to go.
