Kansas State Wildcats’ defense steps up as Austin Romaine earns national recognition despite battling injury. Can Romaine’s leadership and improved tackling anchor Kansas State’s push for bowl eligibility? Christian Rauh spotlights Romaine’s PFF Defensive Player of the Week honors, breaks down advanced stats from the Texas Tech matchup, and examines how missed tackles and turnovers doomed the Wildcats in Big 12 play. Big 12 playoff stakes rise with BYU, Texas Tech, and Utah climbing the College Football Playoff rankings, prompting Rauh to weigh scenarios that could see multiple Big 12 teams in the mix. Plus, Kansas State lands Swedish defensive lineman Adrian Bekibele, adding international talent to Joe Klanderman’s unit. Recruiting updates, transfer portal speculation, and playoff predictions make this a must-listen for Wildcats fans eager for a turnaround.
