The Kansas State Wildcats are getting results lately, but they have yet to beat a quality team, and all four of their losses have come against noteworthy teams. The Texas Longhorns are far and away the more proven team through 13 contests, and they’re more polished offensively. I question if KSU has the offensive horses to keep up. Give me the road favorite.
