On the field, the last two months or so have been brutal. The team has vacillated between “rip your heart out” close losses and “at least I get to start my yard work early” blowouts. Off the field, things haven’t gone well either. 11 Wildcats have entered the portal since the beginning of the season, and normally, that would be a bad thing. In this case, however, it could be a blessing in disguise, depending on how the coach staff plays their cards. Get it right, and this could be the injection of talent that snaps K-State out of their 2020 doldrums.
