Talk is cheap — and Kansas State football has done plenty of it during this bye week. At 1–3, the Wildcats head into a season-saving showdown with undefeated UCF. Chris Klieman says the energy is fixed, the defense is simplified, and leaders are stepping up. But will any of that matter on Saturday? In today’s episode: Energy or Lip Service? Did the bye-week reset actually change anything? Avery Johnson at a Crossroads — why he must run the ball and lead this offense. Trench Warfare — K-State’s offensive line vs UCF’s disruptive front seven. Injury Notes: Dylan Edwards could return, George Fitzpatrick still sidelined. Leadership & Resilience — veterans are talking, but can they back it up with wins? This game will decide if Kansas State’s season is still alive — or already dead.
