MANHATTAN, Kan. - Kansas State opens its 113th season of football on Saturday as the Wildcats welcome North Texas to Bill Snyder Family Stadium for a 6:05 p.m. matchup.

Saturday’s season opener will be the third for head coach Ron Prince at Kansas State and will also feature the recognition of both the 2008 Ring of Honor class and the 1998 Wildcat football team. The Ring of Honor inductees will be introduced at halftime of the contest, while members of the 1998 No. 1-ranked K-State team will be recognized after the first quarter.

The game will not be televised but will be broadcast live across the Kansas State Sports Network, online at k-statesports.com and on SIRIUS satellite radio channel 130. Wyatt Thompson will call the action with Stan Weber serving as the color analyst and Matt Walters providing updates from the Wildcat sideline.

A Quick Look at the Wildcats

Kansas State returns a veteran squad in 2008 as 39 lettermen and 24 players who earned starts a year ago are back, led by national award candidates Josh Freeman, Ian Campbell and Brooks Rossman. The Wildcats return key players in every phase of the game and enter year three of the Ron Prince era with the most veteran squad in years.

Freeman set school records for passing yards, attempts and completions in 2007 and is on pace to shatter every K-State career passing record in 2008. The Wildcats will look for a balanced rushing attack from the likes of Keithen Valentine, Logan Dold and Justin Woods and will have the benefit of running behind a very talented and experienced offensive line, led by senior Rimington Trophy candidate Jordan Bedore at center.

At the wideout positions, an influx of talented junior college transfers along with the development of returners Ernie Pierce and Lamark Brown have the wide receiver position in solid hands and an area to look out for in 2008. Jeron Mastrud leads the tight end group as he enters his junior year ready to contend for All-Big 12 honors.

On the defense, Campbell leads a group that is primed to improve on last season’s struggles down the stretch. Both Campbell and Eric Childs have moved back to defensive end after the emergence of linebackers Olu Hall, Ulla Pomele and Hansen Sekona, and the return of Antwon Moore, has suddenly made this position one of the most deep and talented on the team.

Brandon Balkcom has continued to make strides at the nose tackle position and is ready for a breakout season, while Josh Moore, Blair Irvin, Chris Carney and Gary Chandler make up a very gifted and physical secondary.

Brooks Rossman is set for his senior season as the place-kicker after tying a K-State record for field goals in a season last year and should contend for All-Big and Lou Groza Award consideration, while newcomer George Pierson will take over the punting duties in 2008.

Sorry guys, but I just don't see us winning this one.

NT - 24

KSU - 52

I am a homer, and one day we will get our due. I don't know if it will be this year or not. But I am ready to be surprised. I have been drinking the kool aid all week long.

I have tried drinking as much as possible, but it doesn't seem to be helping with this weeks prediction:

UNT 23

KSU 52

I don't have a clue but let me say this about that. Only twice did a DeLoach-coached team give up more than 40 points....to Colorado State (45) and Texas Tech (42). Even OU did not score 40 points on the DeLoach defense.

Perfect...k-statesports.com, hopefully it's decent quality and not too expensive.

I'm going to abstain from a vote for this first game...with all the changes in the offseason, I'm going to wait and see how we do against KSU and use that as my basis for score predictions.

They won't hang 50 on us, and we'll be able to move the ball and score, but I think it will be too little...

...though we beat a Texas Tech team (twice and at home) which at the time was similar in talent and expectation as Kansas State does right now (predicted by most to finish next to last in Big XII North) with a team that doesn't have the upsides this one does. All games are winable.

The smart money is on Kansas State, but we've proven we're capable of an upset.

Bear in mind that was a time killing offense we ran in OOC games. See OU last year. If the passing game isn't firing and moving the ball and the clock. 40 points is easy to come by against any D. Nature of having this kind of offense

I don't think you're giving KSU enough credit.

They're going to make some noise in the Big XII. They don't have the playmakers to win it, but they'll surprise some people.
