Kansas Sate Wildcats -1.0 -110 bet365 @ Arizona Wildcats * 9:00 pm

Last Meeting ( Sep 13, 2024 ) Arizona 7, Kansas State 31

They're both Wildcats and they both play in the Big 12 Conference, but as Kansas State and Arizona get ready to square off in a primetime game on Friday in Tucson, Ariz., they'll be concluding the nonconference portion of their schedules.

The game, between two teams seemingly headed in opposite directions, was scheduled before Arizona moved to the Big 12 for the 2024 season, so it doesn't count in the conference standings.

Kansas State (1-2) lost 24-21 to Army on Saturday, when their defense was worn down by Army's run-heavy offense. The Black Knights held possession for nearly 27 minutes in the second half and 40 minutes, 32 seconds overall.

Arizona (2-0) has defeated its first two opponents by lopsided scores. This week's game will actually be the second straight against Wildcats, as Arizona trounced Weber State 48-3 Saturday behind five touchdown passes from Noah Fifita.

Fifita completed his first 14 passes and finished 17 of 22 for 373 yards.

"We came into this game expecting to win, and we did that," Arizona head coach Brent Brennan said after the game. "The offense was rolling. And for the second straight week, the defense held an opponent without a touchdown.

"We've got a big game coming this week, and we've got some work to do in the accountability department. We were heavily penalized tonight. Some of them were avoidable and some of them were just football. But we're going to dive into that and make sure we're not putting ourselves into a position where we hurt our chances to get the result we want."

K-State hasn't gotten the results it wants. After losing a close game to Iowa State in Dublin, Ireland, the Wildcats barely escaped against FCS opponent North Dakota before being outmuscled by Army.

Army ran 41 consecutive scrimmage plays in the second half, interrupted only by a 99-yard kickoff return by K-State's Bryce Noernberg and a botched kickoff by the Wildcats.

"I'm dang proud of that football team that we have in there," K-State coach Chris Klieman said after the loss. "I'm disappointed in the loss. I told the guys, it ain't sunny and 70 every day, and when it ain't sunny and 70, who's got to stand up? It's got to be me.

"And I know that we have a good football team."

Colorado Buffaloes @ Houston Cougars -4.0 -110 bet365 * 7:30 pm

Colorado will keep its starting quarterback a mystery as it travels to Houston to play the Big 12 opener for both teams on Friday night.

Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders denied reports that Ryan Staub would start the game.

The Buffaloes (1-1) used a three-quarterback rotation in a 31-7 home win against Delaware last Saturday, but it was Staub who served as catalyst for the Colorado passing attack.

The sophomore was the third Buffaloes' signal-caller and connected on 7 of 10 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns.

"I'm not confirming nothing to y'all," said Sanders, who added he wants to commit to a full-time starter. "We ain't like that. We are good. We have capable guys. Staub has done a phenomenal job and got the majority of the reps. But I haven't made that assessment or that decision yet (on a starter)."

While which quarterback the Cougars (2-0) will face remains uncertain, coach Willie Fritz noted his defense, which is ranked No. 4 nationally, will prepare for the Colorado system in general.

"You look at the plays that were called, and they played all three guys this past game against Delaware," Fritz said. "They've got an offense where one guy does something different than the other. But they have an offense they run with an NFL offensive coordinator (Pat Shurmur, for multiple teams). They do a great job of mixing run and pass and doing a whole lot of different things."

While Staub lit up Delaware with big plays through the air, Houston did its damage in a 35-9 win over Rice on the ground. Dean Connors rushed 13 times for 132 yards and two touchdowns. Cougars quarterback Conner Weigman was 15-for-22 for 188 yards and had a passing and rushing touchdown.

"They are doing some remarkable things offensively, moving the ball," Sanders said. "They have a running back that can flat out hit it. And when he hits it, he's out of there. They have some receivers that can get the job done and defensively have some guys that can cover."

Detroit Tigers @ New York Spankmees RL-1.5 +140 bet365 * 7:05 pm

Last Meeting ( Sep 10, 2025 ) Detroit 11, NY Yankees 1

The Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees with their pitching in frigid conditions in the opening weeks of the season.

New York's bullpen has allowed 19 runs and enters Cam Schlittler's 10th career start with a 4.54 ERA this season from its relievers and a 7.53 ERA against the Tigers.

In Friday's 7-1 home loss to Toronto, Schlittler (2-3, 3.24 ERA) allowed a career-worst four runs on five hits in 1 2/3 innings. His shortest career start occurred after the right-hander allowed one run over his previous three outings. This will be his first time facing Detroit.

After getting strong starts from Casey Mize and Jack Flaherty, the Tigers own a 1.40 ERA against the Yankees. Detroit will go with a bullpen game for the finale, with left-hander Tyler Holton (5-4, 3.80) getting the start and Sawyer Gipson-Long coming in as the bulk reliever.

Holton is 0-1 with a 1.46 ERA in eight appearances, all in relief, against the Yankees. The loss came in April, which also was the only time he gave up any runs (two) to New York.
