--Since 1993, K-State is 11-3-1 under coach Bill Snyder when needing a win to become bowl eligible.

--K-State will be looking for its fourth win in five tries against teams from the Big 12 North. The lone loss was last week to Missouri, 38-12.

--K-State has scored in 163 consecutive games, the 10th longest current streak in the nation. The lone Big 12 team to have a longer streak is Nebraska at 173 games. The Wildcats have not been shut out since a 12-0 loss to Colorado on Nov. 16, 1996.

--K-State's last appearance on ESPN was in 2007, when it opened the season at No. 14 Auburn.

SERIES HISTORY: Nebraska leads Kansas State 76-15-2 (last meeting, 2008, 56-28 Nebraska).

SCOUTING THE OFFENSE: Kansas State has rushed for 2,019 yards, which is roughly 500 yards more than in each of the last four years. The last time K-State has had a more prolific ground attack was in Darren Sproles' junior season in 2003, when the Wildcats rushed for 3,429 yards. Nebraska will counter that ground attack with a rush defense that allows just 95 yards per game, which ranks No. 11 in the country. On the flip side, the Wildcats have passed for only 1,880 yards, which is the lowest output in the Big 12.

SCOUTING THE DEFENSE: Here's a look at K-State's offense, compared to 2008: The Wildcats are allowing 106 rushing yards per game, compared to 222 last year; they are allowing 241 passing yards per game to 243 last year; they have allowed 38 plays of 20-plus yards to 59 last year. A year ago, KSU's turnover-margin ranked 61st in the nation. This season, K-State has a plus-8 margin, which ranks 19th in the country. The Wildcats' improved defense will try to slow down Nebraska, which has shown more balance in recent weeks with RB Roy Helu and QB Zac Lee.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "It's like any game. You try to reduce the mistakes and eliminate as many as you can. It boils down to discipline, and this team is still learning about that particular value." -- Coach Bill Snyder, on the keys to victory against Nebraska.
