Oklahoma State Vs. Kansas State: Battle Special Teams

SB Nation’s Cowboys Ride For Free takes a look at the ominous special teams matchup between Oklahoma State and Kansas State:

This is probably the most lopsided matchup of the game. The 2nd worst special teams coverage unit in the nation going up against the best special teams return unit in the nation. Yeah, OSU is screwed. If you listened to the podcast, Cincy Joe predicted two special team returns by KSU going for touchdowns. And he really wasn’t kidding. To be honest, I’m a little scared that he may be correct. OSU has been absolutely awful in special teams coverage this year. At the same time, KSU’s William Powell has been lightning in a bottle on kick returns. He’s a big reason why K-State is averaging over 29 yards per return. Wildcat fans should become familiar with this term: Pooch kick. Advantage - Kansas State
