Kansas State football is in full crisis mode heading into the bye week, sitting at 1–3 and searching for answers. The Wildcats still have the talent to compete, but the execution and coaching have been a disaster. In this episode, we dive into the identity crisis holding K-State back, from a broken run game to an offensive line that’s failing to create push. The spotlight is now on offensive coordinator Matt Wells, whose play-calling has been under fire. Wells thrived with Jordan Love at Utah State by using play-action, but at Kansas State, Avery Johnson is being asked to run an offense with no ground threat — a car with square wheels. Unless the running game is fixed, this scheme is doomed to fail. We break down Chris Klieman’s silence, the lack of adjustment since losing Dylan Edwards, and how much longer this staff can keep insisting it’s not a “talent problem.” With Arlington technically still on the table but looking less realistic by the week, this is a program at a crossroads. Can Matt Wells, Avery Johnson, and the offensive line find their footing before UCF? Or is this season already on life support? This episode delivers bold takes, harsh truths, and a no-spin look at the state of Kansas State football.
