K-State Gets Another Golden Opportunity Against Colorado After Arizona State Struggles

K-State's offensive line has been here before. For the second consecutive week, the Wildcats head to a Big 12 road game, with a chance to exploit a vulnerable opponent. Last Saturday, the opportunity slipped away in a disappointing 28-17 loss to Arizona State. Now, Collin Klein's team gets another chance in Week 9 against a Colorado defense that has struggled to slow down opposing offenses. With Avery Johnson out and Jacob Knuth doubtful, the Wildcats have questions at the quarterback position. At the end of the day, whoever gets the start at quarterback has to get a much better performance form the offensive line than Knuth did in Week 8. Arizona State was a missed opportunity The Wildcats entered last week's matchup against Arizona State with momentum after rushing for 359 yards in the win over KU. However, that success disappeared in Tempe. Obviously, the loss of Johnson makes things much more difficult for the Wildcats' offense.
