- Kansas State must win two of its final three games to secure bowl eligibility after an up‑and‑down season.
- Oklahoma State seeks its first victory since August after Mike Gundy’s departure, with Clint Bowen running the defense following Todd Grantham’s firing.
- The Cowboys’ offense has struggled severely, ranking last in the Big 12 in passing with the 14th‑worst rushing output and averaging about 15.2 points per game.
- K-State adjusts personnel as linebacker Austin Romaine is shut down due to a hand injury and receiver Jerand Bradley deals with a potentially season‑ending issue, elevating roles for Des Purnell, Rex Van Wyhe, Linkon Cure and Adonis Moise while the run game lags far behind last year’s after‑contact production.
