K-STATE TO PLAY IN RATE BOWL
The Wildcats play Rutgers Dec. 26 in the Rate Bowl in Phoenix.
On Sunday, coach Chris Klieman spoke on the announcement.
"We're so excited to head to Phoenix and play in the Rate Bowl," Klieman said. "I've talked to a number of people that have been in that bowl game and how the players and staff are treated. They do a tremendous job with the hospitality. Our University is excited to go compete and we get to compete against a great program in Rutgers."
Klieman said he is excited about the matchup, mainly because he gets to face Rutgers coach Greg Schiano.
"I get a chance to be around coach Schiano," Klieman said. "I have so much respect for him and what he's done in our profession. It's going to be a fun few days down there. Obviously, for both of us a chance to get into more developmental [stuff] with your players, especially with the younger guys. It's a chance to send your seniors off the right way."
