Have we witnessed the beginning of the Avery Johnson era at K-State, or did Johnson simply take advantage of his opportunity to play against Texas Tech’s weak rushing defense? It sure was exciting watching the true freshman quarterback carve up the Red Raider defense for 94 yards rushing and five touchdown runs in K-State’s 38-21 victory. And he did not only do it on the ground. He was eight of nine passing for 77 yards with a 160.8 quarterback rating….
The legend of freshman phenom quarterback Avery Johnson begins. Johnson rushed for 91 yards on 12 carries with five touchdown runs on the night and was also eight of nine passing for 77 yards in a 38-21 victory over Texas Tech. And he didn’t even play the entire game, coming into the game late in the first quarter. K-State head coach Chris Klieman alternated quarterbacks Johnson and starter Will Howard in the first half, but decided to stick with Johnson…

I expected Howard to build off his 2022 success and carry that into 2023. Unfortunately, that has not been…
K-State lost to Oklahoma State 29-21 last night in Stillwater in one of the more frustrating games I’ve ever seen the Wildcat football team play. K-State was down 26-7 at one point in the third quarter and, despite terrible quarterback play by Will Howard, had a chance to drive to tie the game late in the fourth quarter only to have Howard’s pass attempt batted down on a fourth down play. The Wildcat defense only gave up one touchdown to…
The bye week is over and it’s time for some Friday Night Lights! No, not high school football, but K-State at Oklahoma State this Friday evening. I’m not a fan of Friday night college football games, but obviously, they don’t give me a vote in the matter. I am pretty old school in the belief that college football games should be on Saturdays. It’s better for the players and coaches, and it’s definitely better for the fans that travel to…
