The Kansas State football team can qualify for a bowl with or without a road victory against Texas Tech on Saturday, but that’s not the way the Wildcats are approaching their next game.
“It is a must-win for us if we want to become bowl eligible,” K-State kicker Matthew McCrane said. “Not because it’s our next game, but because of our tough schedule.”
K-State (4-4, 2-3 Big 12) could certainly enhance its postseason odds with a win at Texas Tech (4-4, 1-4). The Wildcats need two more victories to become bowl eligible, and the Red Raiders are arguably the most beatable opponent they will face down the stretch.
