Could it be Nightmare on College Ave?
The Cowboys will prepare for the game as if Kansas State's defense rivals Nebraska's talented defense.
"They play well at home," Holgorsen said of Bill Snyder Stadium, which is located on College Ave. in Manhattan, Kan. "If you look at who they've beat at home, they've beat some quality opponents and haven't given up a lot of points."
But the Wildcats rank No. 100 nationally in total defense, allowing 429.29 yards per game, which means several of OSU's individual offensive game records could be in jeopardy Saturday.
Baylor running back Jay Finley ran for a school-record 250 yards and quarterback Robert Griffin passed for a career-high 404 yards in the Bears' win over Kansas State. Finley entered the game averaging 63.9 rushing yards per game and Griffin averaged 281.3 passing yards.
"Most of it was a result of huge plays," KSU coach Bill Snyder said. "I would hate to see the list. I haven't seen it yet of how many 30-plus plays they hit, but there was quite a few."
