Kansas State heads into Week 10 of the college football season on a mission — and Texas Tech might be walking straight into a trap. In this Locked On College Crossover, Christian Rauh (Locked On Kansas State) and Chris Level (Locked On Texas Tech) break down why the Red Raiders haven’t solved the Wildcats in over a decade — and why that streak might just extend to nine straight this weekend in Manhattan. Kansas State has quietly flipped its season since the bye week, led by Avery Johnson’s turnover-free football, a defense leading the country in takeaways, and breakout linebacker Desmond Purnell. But they’ll have to do it again without running back Dylan Edwards, who’s out with injury, leaving Joe Jackson to carry the load. Meanwhile, Texas Tech brings one of the best defenses in the Big 12 — Jacob Rodriguez and company — and a healthier Behren Morton at quarterback. Can the Red Raiders finally break through? Or will the Wildcats’ physical defense and takeaways strangle another opponent in Bill Snyder Family Stadium? We dive into: 🏈 Kansas State’s defensive resurgence since the bye 🔥 Why Avery Johnson’s legs + discipline are the X-factor 🚨 How Tech’s defense matches up with K-State’s O-line 😤 What Chris Klieman’s “back to basics” reset did for this team 📊 The 8-game win streak and what’s at stake in the Big 12 race Watch now for all the insight, predictions, and behind-the-scenes stories from inside both programs — and don’t forget to hit Subscribe so you never miss an episode of Locked On Kansas State. 📺 Game Info: 🗓️ Saturday, November 1, 2025 ⏰ 2:30 PM CT 📍 Manhattan, Kansas 📺 FOX Locked On College Conferences, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege Follow on Twitter: https://x.com/lockedonKState Follow the show on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3HhcfyjaoLGxYjsL1KmSZM More Coverage from Christian Rauh: https://blueprintsportsnetwork.com/ #KansasState #KansasStateFootball #KansasStateWildcats #NCAA #CollegeFootball Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! 5-Hour ENERGY Enough with boring, flavorless caffeine, it’s time to give your caffeine a flavor upgrade with 5-hour ENERGY®️ shots.
