Who becomes the defensive MVP and breakout star? And ultimately, can K-State stop the run well enough to unleash what could be a dangerous pass rush?We give our final assessment and bold predictions for the Wildcats’ 2026 defense before turning to special teams, including Luis Rodriguez, the punting competition and a wide-open battle in the return game.It’s our final defensive preview before the 2026 season gets underway.#KState #KStateFB #EMAW #Big12Football #CollegeFootball

Then we zoom out and make our predictions for the entire K-State offense.The left side of the offensive line looks increasingly settled with John Pastore, Tanner Morley and Delvin Morris, but major questions remain at right guard and right tackle. Could George Fitzpatrick be the player who changes the ceiling of the entire unit?Then we tackle the big questions.Is this the best offense Collin Klein has had at K-State? Is running back the best position group on the roster? Does Avery Johnson have enough weapons?
