After an off-season filled with questions and empty spots on the roster waiting to be filled, K-State is ready to open up the 2015-16 season against South Dakota.
The Wildcats lost many key players to graduation last season, especially on the offensive side of the ball with the departure of quarterback Jake Waters, wide receivers Tyler Lockett and Curry Sexton and center B.J. Finney.
But with those voids, role players have stepped up to fill those gaps led by redshirt sophomore and first year starter as quarterback Jesse Ertz.
K-State coaches have continued to lay the pressure on Ertz and the other new starters as Saturday’s game quickly approaches to be sure that their new starters are prepared.
