A look at Thursday’s Auburn-Kansas State football game
6:30 p.m. at Snyder Family Stadium, Manhattan
KQAM, 1480-AM; KWLS, 107.9-FM; ESPN
For Auburn: Get this – Tigers haven’t won a non-conference road game since 1997 (OK, so it’s only 0-5, but still!). Haven’t beaten a ranked non-conference team on the road since 1984 (OK, it’s only 0-2, but still!).
For K-State: The only game of the night, national TV audience watching. This is worth a lot.
