So should Will Howard or Adrian Martinez start for Kansas State? SportsBeat KC podcast
It’s fair to say Kansas State responded well to its first Big 12 loss. The Wildcats followed their defeat at TCU by demolishing Oklahoma State 48-0.
Next up is another conference showdown, with Texas visiting K-State.
On today’ episode of The Star’s SportsBeat KC podcast, KSU beat writer Kellis Robinett breaks down Kansas State’s chances in the Big 12 race and shares his thoughts about what the Wildcats should do at quarterback: Stay with backup Will Howard, who was carried off the field after a four-touchdown performance against the Cowboys, or return to starter Adrian Martinez?
After a break, Robinett and host Blair Kerkhoff discuss the meaning of the Big 12’s new television agreement with ESPN and Fox Sports. The six-year deal kicks in for the 2025-26 season and will pay the conference $380 million per year. That’s a big windfall for the 12 members, including newcomers Houston, Cincinnati, Brigham Young and Central Florida.
