Kansas State returns home following a 38-35 win over North Dakota where they survived late mistakes. Both programs are looking for stability in Week 2, and tempo will be a deciding factor.

Army’s approach is familiar. The Black Knights rely on their triple-option attack to chew up clock, shorten the game, and frustrate opposing defenses. To hang around, they must avoid turnovers and convert on crucial third downs. Staying ahead of the sticks will be critical if they want to push this late.

Kansas State, meanwhile, will aim to dictate with balance. Their ground game sets the tone, but they also need more efficiency through the air after struggling to put North Dakota away. Defensively, maintaining discipline against the option will be their biggest challenge, especially when Army pushes the perimeter.

The Wildcats’ depth should make the difference. If they clean up red-zone execution and limit Army’s long drives, Kansas State has the tools to take control. Army will fight, but it will take a near-perfect effort to shock the Wildcats in Manhattan.
