Nuggets on Kansas State (in terms of inside intel) is relegated to our message board at KSO but still spills out the best information on the Wildcats in the market. What do we have now that the K-State football season has started?

Week zero didn’t go as planned for Kansas State. For the third straight time they came out on the losing end versus Iowa State. We share the messages behind the scenes and demeanors of the coaches, such as Chris Klieman and Matt Wells.

As most know by now, K-State will be without Dylan Edwards for game two against North Dakota. He was injured when he muffed the punt in Ireland. In his absence the Wildcats used Joe Jackson and DeVon Rice.

Who else will get touches moving forward?

We heard defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman said this week that the Wildcats switched to a 4-man front because of their ability and talent along the defensive line but to also get pressure on the quarterbacks without having to blitz.

We’ll dig into that quote, which has a lot of merit.
