  • Kansas State MUST Contain Jalon Daniels — Or Lose the 17-Year Streak & In-State Edge
    Oct 24 2025
    Kansas State’s defense has one mission on Saturday — stop Jalon Daniels. The Wildcats have dominated this rivalry for nearly two decades, but the 17-year streak and in-state edge are on the line in Lawrence. Joe Klanderman knows this Kansas offense is unlike anything else in the Big 12. It’s diverse, fast, and unpredictable — the kind that gives coordinators nightmares. With Tobi Osunsanmi out for the season, the Wildcats will rely on Ryan Davis, Jordan Allen, and true freshman Dalton Knapp to keep containment and apply pressure on one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the country. Klanderman said it himself — “what Kansas did last week has no bearing on what they’ll do this week.” The Jayhawks change everything, every week. That means discipline and communication are everything. The defense needs to recreate the chaos from TCU — turnovers, pressure, and pursuit — if Kansas State wants to move this streak to 17. Then, the focus flips to Avery Johnson and the offense. Matt Wells opened his press conference with a mantra: “Touchdown. First down. Get down.” Avery’s competitiveness is his strength — but against Kansas, he must play smart and know exactly where the sticks are. Wells also praised Sam Hecht’s leadership on the offensive line and Joe Jackson’s maturity, saying Jackson “was a young player before the season; he’s not now.” With Dylan Edwards still sidelined, Jackson’s growth has kept this offense balanced and confident. Kansas has struggled to stop the run — and that’s where K-State can seize control. The combination of Johnson’s legs, Jackson’s power, and a tightened-up line gives Matt Wells the freedom to dictate tempo. Add in Garrett Oakley’s red-zone threat and Linkon Cure’s emergence in his first in-state rivalry game, and this matchup could swing on execution, not talent. Everything is on the line — the streak, the bragging rights, and the recruiting edge inside Kansas. If the Wildcats want to keep their dominance alive, they must contain Jalon Daniels and play the cleanest football game of their season.

  • Kansas State Can’t Afford to Slip — Wildcats Face Must-Win Sunflower Showdown vs Kansas Jayhawks
    Oct 23 2025

    It’s Sunflower Showdown week, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. After a rocky start to the Big 12 slate and a season already hanging in the balance, Kansas State enters Lawrence knowing one truth — a loss to Kansas would change everything. In this crossover episode between Locked On Kansas State and Locked On Jayhawks, Christian Rauh and Derek Johnson break down every angle of this rivalry game — what it means for recruiting, program perception, and the future of both head coaches. Topics Covered: Why this isn’t just another rivalry game — and what’s truly at stake for Kansas State’s program identity. The ripple effects of losing Dylan Edwards and how Joe Jackson has reignited the run game just in time. How Avery Johnson’s legs could decide the game — and the wild stat that shows K-State’s record when he carries 10+ times. Why Kansas State’s defensive scheme might finally be finding its rhythm — and why turnovers could swing this one. The historical pattern that’s doomed Kansas in recent Sunflower Showdowns, and how discipline could be K-State’s biggest advantage. The role special teams could play in another rivalry classic. This matchup has all the ingredients: momentum, pressure, pride, and legacy. If Kansas State wants to stay bowl-eligible, protect its dominance in the state, and keep control of the recruiting narrative, this is the one they must win.
