It was a statement game for quarterback Avery Johnson. He delivered a dynamic performance by throwing for two touchdowns and adding two more on the ground. Head Coach Chris Klieman’s squad now turns its focus to keeping that energy alive as it prepares for one of its toughest home games of the season.

The visiting Texas Tech Red Raiders (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) will arrive in Manhattan with much at stake. Ranked No. 15 nationally in last week’s US LBM Coaches Poll, Texas Tech remains in the thick of the College Football Playoff conversation.

After a narrow 26–22 setback at No. 25 Arizona State, the Red Raiders bounced back dominantly. They steamrolled Oklahoma State 42–0 to reassert their postseason credentials. However, the Red Raiders face a bit of uncertainty under center heading into Week 10.

Series History Favors Kansas State

Starting quarterback Will Hammond left the Oklahoma State game in the first half due to a knee injury and was scheduled for an MRI to determine the extent of the damage. His availability could play a major role in shaping Tech’s offensive approach against K-State’s aggressive defense.

The Wildcats hold a decisive edge in the series’ recent history, having defeated Texas Tech in eight straight meetings and 12 of the past 13 overall. The Red Raiders have not managed to win in Manhattan since 2008, a streak that K-State hopes to extend. Last season, the Wildcats rolled to a 38–21 victory in Lubbock, continuing their dominance in the rivalry.

As both programs prepare for this crucial Big 12 matchup, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Kansas State will look to stretch its winning streak to three and protect home turf in what promises to be one of the most exciting games.
