It a short week for No. 20 Arizona as it will be hitting the road to face No. 14 Kansas State in the final non-conference game of the 2024 season. Strangely enough, this is two conference opponents getting a chance to play against each other without it counting against their Big 12 records. Last week, UA struggled in an underwhelming 22-10 win over NAU in a game where it found itself trailing 10-6 at the half. But, the ground game led by Quali Conley was able to pick up the slack and help lift the team to a win.

Meanwhile, KSU was trailing at the half 20-10 against Tulane in a tough road game. The Wildcats battled back in the second half and outscored the Green Wave 24-*7 the rest of the way. Kansas State was led on the ground by running back DJ Giddens, who totaled 177 yards of total offense with a touchdown on 23 touches to help his team complete the comeback win.

The last time these two Wildcats faced off was in 1978 when Arizona rocked KSU 31-0 in Tucson. In the seven total matchups, UA has never gone on the road to Manhattan. SO, this will be a first of many for not only the team, but the program as well.
