2022 will mark Chris Klieman’s fourth year at Kansas State and last year saw Klieman take steps towards getting K-State back to the levels that former purple wizard Bill Snyder had during his amazing tenure in the Little Apple. Klieman’s team went 8-5 last year and finished the year with a drubbing of the LSU Tigers in the Texas Bowl. Klieman’s team has its eyes set on competing for the Big 12 Championship this year, especially with the assumption that Texas and Oklahoma are ripe for the picking.
The Wildcats will be led by former Nebraska Cornhuskers standout Adrian Martinez, who isn’t the passer that former quarterback Skylar Thompson was, but Martinez did throw for almost 8,500 yards while adding another 2,300 on the ground during his four years at Nebraska.
