On today’s episode of the 3rd Down Analysis Podcast, I start the BYU Opponent Preview series with a data-driven deep dive into the Kansas State Wildcats. I walk through the 30,000 foot view of the Wildcat program. I preview the key stories on their offense, and then the key stories on the defense.

I walk you through more data than I can possibly fit into one episode.

Then, I pivot briefly and answer the questions, “Which conference has the best quarterback room in the country? Would the Big 12 win the Gold Medal for best quarterbacks in the country?”
