Kansas State's defense faces a significant challenge against Arizona's potent offense in their upcoming game, following a shaky performance against Tulane where they gave up 491 yards. Coach Chris Klieman and defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman have emphasized the need for better eye-discipline and overall defensive improvement. Arizona, also struggling defensively, allowed over 400 yards to New Mexico in their opener. Both teams are 2-0 but acknowledge their defensive shortcomings. Key players to watch include Arizona's wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, who had a standout game against New Mexico, and Kansas State's quarterback Avery Johnson, who poses a dual-threat similar to New Mexico's Devon Dampier.
