The Kansas State Wildcats are entering their second week of the Big 12 conference schedule. 

While they are coming off a loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats in the league opener, they are looking to bounce back against the Houston Cougars Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. 

The Wildcats offense has dealt with struggles but receivers Derrick Salley Jr., has made his way to having an impact. He had a huge game against the Bearcats in the loss. 

Here's what first-year coach Collin Klein had to say about Salley's efforts the previous week. He is coming off making seven catches for 140 yards and a touchdown in that game. The hope is the Wildcats make him a bigger part of the offense. 

"I was not surprised at all with that performance that he had based on what he had done in practice," Klein said. "He has just continued to get better and better through the course of it."

The Wildcats will need every bit of offense this week when they play the Houston Cougars. This is their chance to redeem themselves after a poor performance versus the Bearcats. A win against Houston could help them get back in the College Football Playoff picture. 

KLEIN READY TO FACE ROLE MODEL 

Klein is preparing to go up against one of his idols this weekend. 

The Wildcats play at home against the Houston Cougars Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The Cougars are coached by Willie Fritz, who Klein has admired from afar for a long time. 

In his first year as the K-State coach, Klein has the opportunity to go up against one of his role models. 

"I have looked up to Coach Fritz for a long time," Klein said during his weekly press conference. "Having gotten into this profession and seeing his track record, seeing how hard his teams play, how disciplined they are, the pressure they put on you schematically in all phases."

K-STATE LOSES KEY PLAYER FOR SEASON

Tight end was one of the strongest units for the Kansas State Wildcats entering this season. 

On Monday, the unit got a little weaker. 

During his weekly press conference, K-State coach Collin Klein revealed that tight end Will Anciaux is out for the remainder of the season due to a lower leg injury. It happened in the loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats in the Big 12 opener. 

A senior, Anciaux had six catches for 84 yards before the injury occurred.
