  Kansas State Wildcats (1-0)      Kent State Golden Flashes (0-2)

It’s game day in Manhattan and while some may scoff at the supposed annual cupcakes the ‘Cats continually encounter to start their season, tonight’s game against Kent State (0-2) is big for a few reasons. With Miami looming large next week, K-State cannot fall into this evening’s trap game unaware. Bill Snyder’s bunch is 11-5 following bye weeks and looks to improve to 2-0 before hitting the meat of their 2011 schedule. Changes on the offensive line and in the backfield should lead to more production and points from Collin Klein and his litany of backs and receivers, while the defense looks to continue their hot play.

• Kellis Robinett  of The Kansas City Star explains why K-State can’t afford to overlook Kent State.
• The ‘Cats are the number one defense in the country… Wait, What??
• While the defense has been statistically successful after one game, Coach Snyder is looking to expand the offense. “We probably put 15 percent of (our offense) on the field,” Snyder said.
•  Junior corner Nigel Malone’s two interceptions against Eastern Kentucky were impressive, almost as impressive as his shoe collection.
