Kansas State hosts No. 22 Houston in a consequential Big 12 matchup, with the Cougars coming off a comeback win over UCF and the Wildcats looking to rebound from their first loss, at Cincinnati. The game features a coaching connection: Kansas State’s Collin Klein coached Houston quarterback Conner Weigman at Texas A&M in 2024, and Houston coach Willie Fritz said Klein had recommended Weigman. Weigman has been effective as both a passer and runner, while Houston leads the nation in third-down conversions. The matchup also reunites Klein with former Kansas State quarterback Michael Bishop, now an offensive assistant at Houston; both Bishop and Klein were standout Wildcats quarterbacks.
