K-State vs. Oklahoma State Preview: Time, TV, and How to Watch

The Kansas State Wildcats host the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday, November 7, at noon CT at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kansas, with television coverage on TNT.

Things in Manhattan are not feeling particularly comfortable right now. The Wildcats enter this matchup sitting at 4-4 overall and 1-4 in Big 12 play, staring down the reality of starting their fourth different quarterback in four weeks. It is a grueling stretch for a program trying to steady itself as the season hits its teeth.

Standing in their way are the Oklahoma State Cowboys, who arrive at 5-3 overall and 3-2 in conference play. Oklahoma State leads the all-time series 43-29, though the Wildcats hold a 17-13 edge during the Snyder era. K-State has won two in a row over the Pokes, including a 14-6 victory last year in Stillwater.

Despite the Wildcats’ recent turbulence, the matchup is officially a sellout. Secondary market ticket prices reflect strong demand, holding a median price of $95 at the time of reporting.

The Challenge Ahead Under First-Year Leadership

First-year head coach Eric Morris has orchestrated a swift turnaround in Stillwater after taking over a decimated program. Morris built his reputation running successful programs at Incarnate Word and North Texas, where he captured a share of the 2025 American Conference title. His career record now stands at 51-37 overall and 27-19 in the FBS.

That immediate success has leaned heavily on the transfer portal, with Morris bringing 18 players over from his 2025 North Texas squad. That group includes quarterback Drew Mestemaker, who might well be the first quarterback taken in next year’s NFL draft. Compounding the challenge for K-State’s defense is an Oklahoma State rushing attack churning out nearly 200 yards per contest.

Oddsmakers at DraftKings list the Wildcats as 6.5-point underdogs, with a 62.5 over/under pointing toward a projected 34-28 Cowboy victory. The money line sits at +200 for the Cats and -245 for Oklahoma State.
