Is Saturday’s game between Oklahoma State and K-State an elimination game in the race to the Big 12 championship? After both teams lost their conference opener, it may very well be.

K-State football travels to Provo, Utah for a game against BYU on Saturday night. Both teams open conference play with 3-0 records in the non-conference portion of their schedules.

After allowing an opening drive touchdown, the K-State defense pitched a shutout the rest of the game and suffocated the high-powered Arizona offense most of the night….
K-State moved up to number 14 in the AP poll, three spots higher than they were last week.
