Kansas State will play Arkansas in the Autozone Liberty Bowl on Jan. 2.
Here’s an early inside look at the game:
Matchup to watch: Led by the stout defensive tackle combination of senior Travis Britz and sophomore Will Geary, the Wildcats featured one of the better run defenses in the Big 12. K-State has been especially adept at limiting chunk rushing plays, allowing just 12 runs of 20 yards or more, tied with Oklahoma for fewest in the Big 12. The Razorbacks were far more effective through the air this year than they've been in the past behind quarterback Brandon Allen.
