Just like that, we are now in week three of the 2024 season! After experiencing some struggles in their first two games, Arizona Football will have a tough challenge when it travels to Manhattan, Kansas, to take on number 14 Kansas State. 

The Kansas State Wildcats are the favorites in this game. They have the advantage of playing in the friendly confines of Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium. Kansas State is talented and has skilled personnel, which makes the matchup between the Wildcats challenging.

If Arizona is to win this one, they will need to play a much cleaner game from start to finish, and they will also need to keep Noah Fifita upright. Arizona cannot afford to get too far behind early in this one, otherwise, it could be a long day!
