How to watch TCU vs. Kansas State on TV or online, plus 3 things to know
Wildcats welcome the hot Horned Frogs.
Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports
It should be a pretty tough task. TCU (5-0, 2-0) is riding high off after handing the Texas Longhorns one of the worst beatings ever in that old-school SWC rivalry, 50-7. Star quarterback Trevone Boykin threw for 332 and five touchdowns, his fourth consecutive game with at least four scores through the air. Wide receiver Josh Doctson caught seven of those completions for 129 yards and two touchdowns, giving him 722 yards on the season, good for second in the nation.
The Wildcats are still smarting from a tough 36-34 loss to Oklahoma State that featured some of the Big 12's trademarked ... colorful ... officiating. The big question for K-State will be the health of starting quarterback Joe Hubener, who suffered a concussion last week, but has passed the program's concussion protocols and is cleared to play this week. Hubener has a combined six passing and rushing touchdowns on the season.

Three big things to know
1. Shootout!
The Frogs are averaging 50 points per game, and have gone over that figure in three of the last four. Thing is, they also allowed 37 and 52 in two games this season. So if the Wildcats can get the running game going they convert a solid 41 percent on third down. There could be some long, drawn-out scoring drives.
2. Back on the mend
TCU's defense could be getting a boost from the return of defensive lineman Terrell Lathan, who has been sidelined with injury.
Felt great being back out there with my family
— Terrell Lathan (@terrelllathan90) October 6, 2015 Lathan had 10 tackles for loss in 2014 and 10 tackles and a sack already in limited action this season.
3. A what lined up at quarterback?
K-State's Hubener is banged up, and backup quarterback Kody Cook is out after injuries suffered last week. So that means Bill Snyder is considering multiple options for backup/emergency quarterbacks. Including both defensive AND offensive linemen. Somebody may have the chance to pull out in front of the Piesman Trophy race.
