Kansas State weather delay: When will the Houston game resume?

State of Kansas And Houston They are scheduled to compete against each other in week 10, but the scheduled start time of 3:30 PM ET will not happen.

Due to lightning in the area, fans have been asked to evacuate the stands at TDECU Stadium. The game has been postponed, but could start soon. KSO’s Derek Young tweeted that players can warm up around 3:20 PM CT. Houston has now announced that the national anthem will begin at 3:21 PM CT and a coin toss will take place at 3:31 PM CT.

Entering the game, Kansas State is a 12.5-point favorite against Houston, according to FanDuel. The over/under for the game is set at 45.5 points. It remains to be seen if the weather evens the playing field a bit for the Cougars.

The two teams met for the first time last season, with Kansas State handily defeating Houston 43-0. Apparently oddsmakers expect the Wildcats to add another win over the Cougars to their resume on Saturday.

Last weekend, Kansas State defeated its in-state rival Kansas 29-27, extending their win streak to four games. In the win, the Wildcats’ offense was spectacular, amassing 482 total yards of offense while committing just one turnover.

Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson completed 19 of his 34 pass attempts for 253 yards and two touchdowns without throwing an interception. Run back DJ Giddens led the way in the ground game and had 102 rushing yards on 18 carries.

However, Kansas State isn’t the only team winning. Last Saturday the Cougars defeated Utah 17-14 with a field goal in the last second. In the win, Houston’s backfield was exceptional, allowing 230 yards and 4.7 yards per carry.

J’Marion Burnette especially excelled, with a game-high 81 rushing yards on just eight carries. Of course, Houston’s offense wasn’t solely responsible for the win. The Cougars’ defense also squeezed two goals out of the Utes.
