The Wolfpack finished 9-3, overachieving under Coach Doeren and clinching a bowl spot. Key victories over Clemson and Miami highlighted their season. Kansas State, on the other hand, played impressively in the Big 12, ending 9-4, with a notable performance against Texas Tech and a tough game against Texas.

The Wildcats face a challenge with the absence of starting QB Will Howard, turning to a freshman QB for this bowl.
