MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State took a blowout win over Oklahoma State into its bye week. Now, the Wildcats are back to work as they try to continue their momentum with a trip to No. 8 Oklahoma.

The biggest reason for the optimism is a defense playing as well as any in the Big 12. Iowa State has held each of its six opponents below their season average in points scored. The Cyclones will face a big challenge at home Saturday against Texas Tech, one of the top offenses in the nation.
