No. 20 Kansas State looks to remain undefeated in 2011 against Big 12 Missouri.


To remain undefeated, Kansas State needed fourth-quarter comebacks the last two weeks against the Miami Hurricanes and Robert Griffin III and the Baylor Bears. Last week, junior middle linebacker Arthur Brown intercepted Griffin to set up a 31-yard game-winning field goal Anthony Cantele.
Kansas State's offense is led by junior quarterback Collin Klein, who averaged just 120 yards passing but leads the Wildcats with 423 yards and four touchdowns rushing. Sophomore running back John Hubert averages nearly six yards per carry (5.7), but defers to the 6-foot-5, 226-pound Klein in the red zone, where the Wildcats have scored touchdowns on 11 of 20 trips.
The Tigers are 2-2 on the season, with both losses coming against ranked opponents. Though they're more balanced than the Wildcats, the Tigers have a prolific rushing attack, averaging 253 yards per game. Sophomore tailback Henry Josey leads Mizzou with 533 yards and four touchdowns, while quarterback James Franklin has 260 yards on a team-high 76 attempts. Franklin has also completed 61.1 percent of his 126 pass attempts for 985 yards with seven touchdowns and just one interception.
