- Entering Kansas State's 2026 Cincinnati game, Collin Klein says safety Logan Bartley and defensive end Jordan Allen are day-to-day and progressing well. Bartley is tracking toward playing after landing hard against Tulane, not confirmed cleared. Klein does not expect a long-term absentee back this week and says one unspecified player might return after the bye. - Klein plans to keep Kansas State's offensive-line competition and rotation going into Cincinnati in 2026 rather than settle on a fixed five. Tanner Morley's improving health supports that progression; the best-performing players will play, with spells for others and decisions made week by week. He does not announce a new starter or a guaranteed snap share. - In Kansas State's 2026 Tulane game, post-safety zone coverages opened pockets for the tight ends, Klein says. Passing distribution follows coverage, leverage and Avery Johnson's progression rather than preset receiver targets: on one naked play, a safety rolled over Josh Manning and Johnson threw the over route instead. This explains the usage, not a promised target increase or receiver demotion. - Reviewing Kansas State's 2026 Tulane win before Cincinnati, Klein credits Brandon White with securing punts in inconsistent wind and protecting field position even without a return. He also says the kicking units limited the opposing returners and won hidden yardage by 18 yards, while difference-maker plays were tied. That is his single-game assessment, not a projected special-teams edge at Cincinnati.

- Kansas State enters its 2026 Cincinnati matchup averaging 269.3 rushing yards at 6.7 per carry and 491.3 total yards at 7.0 per play. The table lists a 67% third-down conversion rate on 70 offensive plays per game. These are current raw results, not opponent-adjusted projections or a measured seconds-per-play tempo. - Kansas State's 2026 Cincinnati-week table lists 10 points and 182.7 total yards allowed per game at 3.3 yards per play. The split is 96 rushing yards at 2.8 per carry and 86.7 passing yards at 4.0 per attempt. Those unadjusted defensive results do not establish how the unit will perform against Cincinnati.

- DB: run support today by our safeties and LBs wasn't very good..Mason got burned on that last TD and had no safety help on that side.

- LB/DB: I know a mod will say something about it being a diff position but you’re right, Prevard/McClellan/Graham/Maddox have to be able to take some safety snaps from Fair.
