REPORT: Kansas State, Texas Tech Headed for SEASON-CHANGING Showdown. Could Shake Up Big 12 Per ESPN

The Big 12 remains unpredictable, and ESPN has highlighted Week 10’s Kansas State vs. Texas Tech matchup as a potential season-defining showdown. Both teams are eager to take the next step—Kansas State looking to build on its recent consistency, while Texas Tech aims to break through under Joey McGuire. With a revamped roster and new coaching adjustments, both programs are making bold moves. Kansas State’s decision to promote Matt Wells to offensive coordinator could be a key factor in quarterback Avery Johnson’s development, while Texas Tech’s aggressive approach in the transfer portal, bringing in 18 new players, could provide the boost they need to contend for a conference title. Hosts Christian Rauh and Chris Level analyze this critical Big 12 matchup, discussing Texas Tech’s historical struggles in Manhattan, the impact of new faces like Jerand Bradley and Behren Morton, and whether this game could determine who makes it to Arlington for the Big 12 championship game in 2025.
