Locked On Kansas State - Daily Podcast on Kansas State Wildcats Football & Basketball

BREAKING news out of Manhattan — Kansas State star RB Dylan Edwards has officially been ruled OUT for Saturday’s matchup vs. North Dakota, and he’s already doubtful for the Army game. On today’s episode of Locked On Kansas State, I’m joined by Jason Kinander of WIBW to break down what Edwards’ absence means for the Wildcats moving forward . We dive into: Why Edwards’ injury is such a massive hit to K-State’s backfield depth How Joe Jackson, Antonio Martin, and the young backs will need to step up immediately Whether the offense leaned too heavily on Edwards in the playbook against Iowa State — and why this could actually force a new identity to emerge Avery Johnson’s role moving forward — will the staff finally unleash his legs and creativity in the run game? Why there’s NO NEED TO PANIC just yet — and how the non-conference slate (North Dakota, Army, Arizona) sets up perfectly for K-State to reset before Big 12 play A look at the defense, depth questions, and why this weekend is a chance for new playmakers to emerge Kansas State might be 0–1, but this season is FAR from over. Arlington is still on the table — if the Wildcats can rally and avoid letting this injury define their year. 👉 Drop your thoughts in the comments: Who needs to step up most with Edwards sidelined? 👍 Like & Subscribe for daily Kansas State updates!

College football just got messy. In the wake of Iowa State’s 24-21 win over Kansas State in Dublin, the Big 12 Conference and both athletic departments have come under fire for pushing away from the iconic “Farmageddon” name. What started as one of the coolest rivalry monikers in college football is suddenly being silenced — and fans are furious. In this episode, we break down: ✅ Why the Big 12 and ADs Jamie Pollard (Iowa State) & Gene Taylor (K-State) are distancing from Farmageddon ✅ The history of the rivalry dating back to 1917 and why it MUST be protected ✅ Reaction to Kansas State’s statement claiming they “never officially adopted” the Farmageddon name (despite old social posts proving otherwise) ✅ Whether this push is coming more from Iowa State or Kansas State leadership — and what it means for the future ✅ How marketing, tradition, and fan culture are being ignored in favor of “corporate branding” Plus, we dive into the on-field fallout from Dublin — Avery Johnson’s play, Dylan Edwards’ injury impact, and what both programs need to do to stay in the Big 12 title hunt. 👀 This isn’t just about a nickname. It’s about history, passion, and respect for one of the longest-running rivalries in college football. 📢 Sound off in the comments: Should the Big 12 BAN Farmageddon?

Kansas State turns the page after Dublin and now faces a dangerous North Dakota squad in Week 1. The Fighting Hawks bring a proven rushing attack led by veteran RBs Gaven Ziebarth and Sawyer Seidl — combining for nearly 1,700 yards last season — plus a veteran offensive line that returns four starters. Add in explosive special teams and new transfer weapons at wide receiver, and this is far from your typical FCS tune-up. In this episode of Locked On Kansas State, we break down: Why UND’s run game is the biggest test for K-State’s defense. The battle in the trenches: Wildcats’ new-look four-man front vs. UND’s experienced O-Line. Special teams X-factor Sawyer Seidl — can K-State avoid the big return? The QB situation for North Dakota: Simon Romfo’s experience vs. the rise of “Jerry Football” Kaminski. What Chris Klieman thinks of new UND head coach Eric Schmidt. Keys for Avery Johnson and the Wildcats’ offense to put this game away early. Kansas State doesn’t need to win by 60 — they just need to stay disciplined, stay healthy, and prove they can control a physical run-first opponent.

Avery Johnson is STILL one of the best quarterbacks in college football — and Kansas State’s Week 0 loss in Dublin doesn’t change that. After throwing for 273 yards, 2 touchdowns, and zero turnovers against Iowa State’s top-tier secondary in miserable conditions, Johnson remains a legit Heisman dark horse and one of the Big 12’s elite signal-callers. In today’s Locked On Kansas State, Christian Rauh breaks down: 🏈 Avery Johnson’s Heisman Campaign — Why his performance against Iowa State proved his ceiling has risen, and why fans should BELIEVE he can still be in New York at season’s end. 💪 Linebacker Breakdown — Austin Romaine earns national honors, Desmond Purnell shows coverage ability but raises questions in run defense, and Gabe Powers flashes potential as a run-stuffer. Is this the deepest K-State LB room in years? 📉 The Dublin Curse — Every team that’s lost in Ireland since 2022 has failed to make a bowl. Can Chris Klieman’s Wildcats break the trend and keep Arlington in sight? K-State fans, what do you think: Is Avery Johnson still a legit Heisman contender?

More Reactions from No. 22 Iowa State defeated No. 17 Kansas State 24-21 in a thrilling, rain-soaked season opener at the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin, Ireland. This defensive slugfest came down to the wire. Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht was a difference-maker, throwing for two touchdowns and running for a third. Meanwhile, K-State's Avery Johnson kept the Wildcats in the game with a rushing touchdown and two long passing touchdowns, including a 65-yard bomb to Jerand Bradley in the fourth quarter. Ultimately, the Cyclones' success on fourth downs and a crucial late-game conversion sealed the victory, marking their fifth win against the Wildcats in the last six matchups.

Postgame reactions from Kleiman, Johnson, Austin Romaine, Toby Asunami, and more Why the Wildcats’ defense ran out of gas in the second half What it really felt like for players to lose a “home” game overseas in Ireland Looking ahead: Why the North Dakota game is the perfect reset before Army and Arizona This one hurt, no doubt.

Kansas State fans, the wait is almost over — football is back, and the Wildcats are just days away from kicking off the 2025 season in Dublin against Iowa State. On today’s episode of Locked On Kansas State, Christian Rauh is joined by Joe Tillery (Heartland College Sports, YouTube @JoeTillery) for a loaded breakdown of everything you need to know heading into Week Zero. We start with the 2025 breakout players on both sides of the ball. On offense, all eyes are on Jaron Tibbs, the Purdue transfer wideout generating massive buzz after a standout fall camp. Could he finally be the transfer receiver who changes the narrative at K-State? And on defense, Joe highlights Qua Moss, the field safety expected to fill the shoes of Marques Sigle with his playmaking and physicality. From there, the conversation shifts to the depth chart surprises, including: Logan Bartley, a true freshman Jack safety already pushing for starting reps. Linkon Cure, the prized Kansas recruit at tight end who is set to make his mark later in the season. Offensive line shakeups, with John Pastore stepping in at left tackle and Terence Enos locking down the right side. We also take a close look at Avery Johnson’s supporting cast, the deepest RB room under Chris Klieman, and how new OC Matt Wells plans to maximize the dual-threat QB’s strengths. Finally, we give our predictions for Dublin — will Kansas State’s offensive weapons and rebuilt secondary be enough to take down Iowa State in the season opener? Joe thinks so, calling for a Wildcats win by more than a score. This is the perfect preview for Wildcat fans gearing up for Week Zero — bold predictions, player spotlights, depth chart surprises, and what it will take for Kansas State to get back to Arlington in 2025.

It’s officially GAME WEEK for Kansas State Football! 🏈 On today’s episode of Locked On Kansas State, we break down three HUGE storylines heading into the 2025 season opener in Dublin: 🔥 Segment 1: The Running Back Room Without DJ Giddens Can the Wildcats survive — or even improve — without their workhorse RB? Why Dylan Edwards is ready to unleash a NEW ERA in the backfield. The roles of Joe Jackson, Antonio Martin, and breakout buzz player Devon Rice. Why this might be the deepest RB room of the Chris Klieman era . 🔥 Segment 2: Bye Week Concerns Chris Klieman’s record after bye weeks: 7–8 compared to 48–28 overall.

The projected scoring leaders for the 2025-26 college basketball season are out… and somehow PJ Haggerty’s name is nowhere to be found. This is the same guy who finished third in the nation last year at Memphis, averaging 21.7 points per game, winning AAC Player of the Year, and earning All-American honors — and now he’s ready to lead Kansas State in the Big 12. So why the snub? I break down why leaving Haggerty off this list is flat-out disrespectful and why it could fuel an even bigger season in Manhattan. Plus — it’s not just Haggerty bringing energy. New assistant coach Matt Driscoll has been lighting up practice with one-liners, teaching moments, and contagious enthusiasm.

In this Locked On Kansas State x Locked On Big 12 crossover, we break down why Washington State and Oregon State might be better expansion targets for the Big 12 than ACC schools like NC State or Louisville.

Subscribe for daily Kansas State football coverage. The Case for Adding Washington State and Oregon State The argument for adding the "Pac-2" is built on strategic expansion, new media markets, and a valuable time slot for television partners. Geographic Expansion and New Media Markets: The most compelling reason is that adding WSU and OSU gives the Big 12 a true presence in the Pacific Northwest. The conference would gain a foothold in the Seattle-Tacoma market (12th largest in the nation) and the Portland market (22nd). This is a new, untapped region for the Big 12, expanding its brand from coast to coast and providing a crucial bargaining chip in future media rights negotiations. Late-Night TV Window: A massive benefit for television partners like ESPN and FOX is the late-night viewing window. Games on the West Coast allow the Big 12 to fill a programming slot that is highly valuable, attracting a national audience after other games have concluded. "Cultural" Fit with K-State: From a Kansas State perspective, there's a strong cultural parallel. As noted in a fan discussion, K-State and WSU/OSU are all land-grant universities in smaller, rural towns with passionate fan bases. This creates a similar identity and a potential sense of camaraderie that may not exist with schools from the Eastern seaboard. Competitive Depth: Both Washington State and Oregon State have proven they can be competitive at the highest level of college football. Oregon State, in particular, has seen recent success. Their addition would add to the conference's competitive balance without necessarily diluting the overall strength. The Case Against Adding WSU/OSU (and for adding ACC schools) The counter-argument against the Pacific Northwest schools is primarily about media valuation and the current instability of the "Pac-2" brand. Media Market Value vs. Footprint: While WSU/OSU provide a new geographic footprint, there's debate over whether their specific media market reach is more valuable than that of potential ACC targets. Raleigh-Durham (NC State) and Pittsburgh (Pitt) are also significant markets, ranking 24th and 26th, respectively. Some analysts argue that a school like Louisville or NC State might have a more passionate and regionally concentrated fan base that translates more directly to television viewership. ACC is a "Power Conference": Bringing in a school like NC State or Louisville, which are still part of a "Power Four" conference, could be seen as a more stable move than bringing in schools that are currently in a rebuilding Pac-12 with a new media deal and a lower revenue base. Proximity and Travel: Adding schools from the Pacific Northwest would create a significant travel burden for the rest of the conference, including K-State. This could be a logistical and financial challenge, particularly for Olympic sports. ACC schools, while not close, are still in a more manageable travel corridor for the central and eastern Big 12 schools.
