Both teams are seen as capable of reaching the Big 12 Championship, but another loss would put either team in a tough spot.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6d\">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&#8217;s game with a win.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6i\">Sign up for our free\u00a0newsletter\u00a0and follow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/kstate_kcsn\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kstatekcsn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@KSUWildcatsKCSN\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kstate_kcsn\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0for the latest news.<\/p>\n<p>First Quarter<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6s\">15:00: Houston will receive the ball.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6x\">9:20: The Cougars go the length of the field and have a fourth down from the two-yard line.
