Arizona vs Kansas State Picks and Prediction – 9/14/2024

Bill Snyder Family Stadium will play host to a Friday night college football clash between the Arizona Wildcats and the Kansas State Jayhawks. Make sure you are ready for all the football action with our college football picks. The 20th ranked Wildcats are off to a 2-0 start and are averaging close to 500 yards of total offense for new head coach Brent Brennan. Last week, Arizona shutout FCS Northern Arizona during the second half of a 22-10 home victory.

Arizona seized the lead for good early in the third quarter of a 17-yard touchdown pass from Noah Fifita to Jeremiah Patterson. Senior RB Quali Conley contributed 150 yards from scrimmage for the Wildcats, who failed to convert all ten third down attempts. 

The Kansas State Wildcats are coming off a nine-win season and are one of the contenders to win the Big 12 Conference title. The 14th ranked Wildcats (2-0) currently rank in the middle of the conference pack in total offense and have scored 75 points. On Saturday, Kansas State outscored Tulane by 17 points during the second half to earn a 34-27 road victory. 

Kansas State evened the score at 27 early in the fourth quarter on a Dylan Edwards 13-yard touchdown run. Three minutes later Jack Fabris returned a fumble 60 yards for the game-winning score. Avery Johnson threw for 181 yards and two scores for the Wildcats. 

Arizona averaged 35 points a game a season ago and have scored 83 points through their first two contests. Noah Fifita is one the most underrated players in college football and the Wildcats are getting too many points. Side with Arizona to keep things close on the road. Final Score Prediction, Kansas State Wildcats win 28-27.
