The Oklahoma offense is reminiscent of some of Lincoln Riley’s offenses in Norman and the defense is disciplined.

Originally posted on emawonline.com by Alec Busse Kansas State wide receiver Kade Warner sat in a captain meeting with his teammates and head coach Chris Klieman discussing various topics when Klieman mentioned that the Wildcats had an “alternate.” Warner was confused. He didn’t know what Klieman meant by the statement, but then the head coach left the room and returned with a special edition, alternate white helmet that Kansas State is going to wear on Saturday versus Tulane when K-State looks to improve to 3-0 on the season.
