The season has unfortunately gotten away from the Wildcats, who have been forced to start players at quarterback who they probably never thought would see the light of day this season. With their starting quarterback and backup quarterback both hurt, head coach Collin Klein said earlier this week that the team expects to play two quarterbacks this week.
For the Horned Frogs, they've been in a number of close games but have failed to come up with the big play more often than not this season. TCU essentially gave the game away last week against Arizona, and can't seem to execute down the stretch.

Kansas State vs. TCU prediction, pick:
It's hard to paint a picture offensively for Kansas State that involves a banner day offensively when two quarterbacks who were essentially on scout team duty are leading the way. However, there is a narrative for the Wildcats to hang in defensively.
The Horned Frogs have rushed for the fewest yards in the Big 12, which has forced them to rely on quarterback Jaden Craig to move the ball. Craig leads the Big 12 in attempts with 310. However, Kansas State has allowed the fewest passing yards in the conference, so TCU might be running right into Kansas State's biggest strength.
Expect the Wildcats to hang in this game for a half, or even three quarters thanks to their defensive profile, before TCU pulls away.
Prediction: TCU 27, Kansas State 14
Best Bet: Under 45.5
