Longhorns Daily News: Kansas State’s Chris Klieman: ‘You’re not going to make Texas one-dimensional’

As Big 12 coaches media availability came and went this week, Kansas State Wildcats head coach Chris Klieman stepped up to the mic to discuss the upcoming match with the Texas Longhorns.

“This is going to be a big-time challenge this week,” Klieman said, per Inside Texas. “You’re not going to make Texas one-dimensional. We’ve been able to make a few teams one-dimensional, we’re not going to be able to do that. We have to be really good at being able to control some of the run game and we absolutely have to take away their shot plays because they’re extremely talented at the receiver and tight end position and they’re getting behind everybody.”
