Wildcats coach Chris Klieman likes his chances for Saturday. Not necessarily of winning the game, but of actually being able to play it. This is now part of our new game week prep: In addition to thinking about all the possible outcomes of the game, we also get to spend the days leading up to the game wondering if the visiting team will make the trip, and which players on our team will be suiting up. Nothing is assured until kickoff, of course. But Klieman is feeling good about making the game: During his weekly radio show on Thursday, Klieman…
