Kansas State vs Oklahoma State Prediction 9-28-24 College Football Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Kansas State vs Oklahoma State prediction for this College Football Week 5 game on Saturday, September 28th, at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.  Let’s take a look at a Oklahoma State Cowboys vs Kansas State Wildcats pick. 

How Does Kansas State Bounce Back?

Just last week there was talk about Kansas State and the college football playoff and if they want to continue that conversation, they are going to need to bounce back in a big way quickly. Kansas State had won the first three games, and they were favored heading on the road against the BYU Cougars. Against BYU though, the offense only scored nine points while the defense gave up 38 points and that led to the defeat. Avery Johnson looked awful under center, and he completed 15 of his 28 passes for 130 yards and two interceptions. Two games ago against Arizona, Kansas State scored 38 points and they looked so dominant. In that game Avery Johnson finished with 10 carries for 110 yards.

Kansas State on the season is averaging 28.8 points while their defense is giving up 19.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 78th in the league while the defense is ranked 45th. In this game, Johnson needs to play better under center to start the game. 

Oklahoma State Fell Short

Oklahoma State also lost their first game of the season in the last game against the Utah Utes. Oklahoma State scored 16 points in the 4th quarter, but it wasn’t enough as they ended up losing 22-19. Utah had their backup quarterback starting, but the big issue was still with the offense not finding enough success early in the game. Alan Bowman threw for 206 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. He did end up getting benched, but moving forward he’s still going to be the starting quarterback. Running back Ollie Gordon finished with 11 carries for 42 yards and for one of the best running backs in the country, and that just isn’t enough to find success. 

Oklahoma State on the season is averaging 36.7 points while the defense is giving up 20.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 29th in the league while the defense is ranked 55th in the league.
