Lot's of back and forth on this game, but I believe the Big XII flexes it's muscles yet again tonight again a vastly overrated Louisville team.
I see 2 teams with similar defenses but the thing that stands out to me is Josh Freeman. In his 3rd year now, he has shown great command of the offense. Early on in the year, I will take a proven QB over one that has looked terrible against any team with a pulse. Yes Louisville is at home but the stadium won't be full and check out the Louisville message boards, even they are predicting a loss and some of them by double digits. If you own fans don't think you are any good, do you really think you will have an electric stadium tonight?
While this isn't last year, Kansas State went 5-7 in a very difficult Big XII conference, with 12 returning starters they have seen speed and plenty of it. Louisville on the other hand went 6-6 in a bad conference with some really bad loses. And to top it off, they lost their mr everything QB. Kentucky exposed them for how bad they are, they may get better but not sure how you can back them after that performance. It's one thing to not play well, it's another to look that bad.
Kansas State's defense will show up and I think they will score a fair amount on offense.
Kansas State 31, Louisville 20.
