Kansas State football has a massive opportunity against Arizona State as Collin Klein and the Wildcats look to build on their Sunflower Showdown victory over Kansas. With Avery Johnson and Joe Jackson leading one of college football's most productive rushing attacks, can K-State exploit a struggling Sun Devils defense? On today's Locked On Kansas State crossover with Locked On Sun Devils, we preview Saturday's Big 12 matchup in Tempe, discuss Arizona State's quarterback change and break down the biggest keys to a Wildcats victory. Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham has named veteran quarterback Mikey Keene the starter after the Sun Devils struggled offensively with Cutter Boley. Keene brings significant experience from UCF and Fresno State, but Arizona State's offensive line remains a major concern. Can Kansas State's defense take advantage? The Wildcats have struggled to consistently pressure opposing quarterbacks and create turnovers this season. Against an Arizona State offense dealing with protection issues, this could be an opportunity for K-State's defense to make a statement. But Kansas State's biggest advantage might be on the other side of the football. Avery Johnson, Joe Jackson and Rodney Fields Jr. have helped the Wildcats establish one of the nation's strongest rushing attacks. Kansas State rushed for 359 yards against Kansas, while Arizona State has struggled to contain opposing running games and prevent explosive plays. We discuss why Johnson's dual-threat ability could be the difference, how Kansas State can control possession and whether the Wildcats can continue their offensive momentum. We also examine Arizona State's dangerous playmakers, including Derek Eusebio, and why K-State cannot overlook a Sun Devils team desperate to save its season. Finally, we deliver our predictions and discuss the stakes for both programs. Kansas State has yet to win a Big 12 road game under Collin Klein. Could Saturday finally change that? A victory would also put the Wildcats in position to potentially secure bowl eligibility before November. Can Kansas State take advantage of Arizona State's struggles, or will Mikey Keene give the Sun Devils the spark they desperately need? #KansasStateFootball #KStateFootball #Big12Football Photo Credit: Evert Nelson IMAGN Go AD Free and More with the Everydayer's Club!

Avery Johnson, Joe Jackson and Rodney Fields Jr. have helped the Wildcats establish one of the nation's strongest rushing attacks.
Kansas State rushed for 359 yards against Kansas, while Arizona State has struggled to contain opposing running games and prevent explosive plays.
We discuss why Johnson's dual-threat ability could be the difference, how Kansas State can control possession and whether the Wildcats can continue their offensive momentum.
