Overview

• Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. CT Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kansas.
• Kansas State enters 1-1 and unranked after a Week 0 loss to Iowa State in Ireland and a 38-35 escape over FCS North Dakota on a late Avery Johnson touchdown.
• Army is 0-1 after a 30-27 double-overtime home loss to FCS Tarleton State that included two missed field goals, with Jeff Monken conceding, “They completely outplayed us.”
• Army’s triple-option presents an assignment-heavy challenge that Chris Klieman has emphasized with calls for better defensive eye discipline; QB Dewayne Coleman’s status bears watching after leaving the opener twice, per local reporting.
• BetMGM lists Kansas State as a 17-point favorite and ESPN gives the Wildcats a 92.2% win probability, and most published predictions lean toward a comfortable K-State win.
