Kansas State’s veteran squad faces its first real challenge of the season on Saturday, when a less experienced but very athletic and talented Missouri team visits Manhattan for the first time since 2011. The Tigers are fresh off a convincing win over Louisiana Tech and bring some dynamic playmakers, especially five-star freshman Luther Burden III at wide receiver. Mizzou’s also benefiting from a litany of big school transfers on defense, and you’ll hear the excitement in Nate’s voice when he talks about former Florida linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper.
We also talked about K-State’s special team concerns and Mizzou’s “Thiccer Kicker” as well as why the Border War needs to come back so the Tigers can resume beating up on KU.
