Kansas State and Cincinnati are both 3-0, and Big 12 play begins under the lights at Nippert Stadium.

Eric Lilly from Chatterbox Bearcats and Chatterbox Sports joins Cocaine Willie to break down K-State's first road game and first conference game of the Collin Klein era.

Avery Johnson enters Cincinnati after making K-State history against Tulane, becoming the first Wildcat quarterback to throw for 200+ yards and rush for 150+ in the same game. Now he faces a new-look Cincinnati defense led by former Army defensive coordinator Nate Woody.

We break down:

• What makes Nippert Stadium so difficult at night
• Cincinnati's four-headed rushing attack
• JC French's strengths and what happens when pressure gets to him
• K-State's pass rush vs. Cincinnati's highly regarded offensive line
• Nate Woody's aggressive new 3-4 defense
• How Cincinnati plans to keep Avery Johnson in the pocket
• K-State's size advantage at wide receiver
• Kamari Burns returning to Cincinnati
• The matchups and explosive plays that could decide the game
• Final score predictions
