Collin Klein's first season at Kansas State faces promising schedule
Summary

Kansas State's college football season is set to begin in a month, with optimism surrounding first-year head coach Collin Klein. The Wildcats are viewed as potential contenders in the Big 12, with an easier schedule than most teams, ranking among the least difficult in the nation. Last year, they ended with six wins but faced criticism after a rough start to the season. Quarterback Avery Johnson's performance is critical, as he seeks to improve upon his disappointing record. Klein, a former player and coordinator for Kansas State, is tasked with revitalizing the team's success and achieving a postseason berth.
