K-State will be looking to bounce back from a Week 4 loss to Cincinnati when the Wildcats host No. 22 Houston on Saturday.

The Wildcats were 3-0 entering the game, but were unable to make enough plays in the 31-26 loss.

Like the Wildcats, Houston enters this game with a loss in Big 12 play already on the books. Both teams are seen as capable of reaching the Big 12 Championship, but another loss would put either team in a tough spot.

One area to watch in this game is when it comes to third-down conversions. Houston is the best team in the country, while K-State is No. 2. Whichever team is able to continue to convert in key situations is likely to be the team leaving Saturday’s game with a win.

First Quarter

15:00: Houston will receive the ball.

9:20: The Cougars go the length of the field and have a fourth down from the two-yard line. K-State gets the stop, but Collin Klein called a timeout. Cougars get another chance, and Conner Weigman connects with Patrick Overmyer for the score.

Cougars are great at converting on third downs, and that drive was extended on a huge pass from Weigman on 3rd and 9.

Cougars 7, Wildcats 0 with 9:20 remaining in the first quarter.
