The Kansas State defense is bracing for a visit from Baylor's No. 1 offense on Thursday night.
The last two teams to visit Manhattan, Kan., have put up 107 points on Kansas State. Now the Wildcats welcome the Baylor Bears.
There is a new wrinkle for the No. 1 offense in the nation at the most important position in the game. True freshman Jarrett Stidham will be making his first start replacing Seth Russell, who broke a bone in his neck and is out for the season after undergoing surgery last Friday.
It opens a window of opportunity for the Wildcats, who are trying to snap a four-game losing skid, but there's also a measure of mystery.
