Avery Johnson delivered the performance Kansas State fans have been waiting for. The Wildcats beat Tulane 31-20 to improve to 3-0, and their quarterback accounted for much of the offense. Is that a concern heading into Big 12 play, or is this exactly what Kansas State needs from Johnson? On today’s Locked On Kansas State, Christian Rauh is joined by John Grove of GoPowerCat.com to break down the Tulane win and what it revealed about Collin Klein’s Wildcats. Johnson completed 21 of 28 passes for 227 yards and added a career-high 152 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries. He became the first player in Kansas State history to record at least 200 passing yards and 150 rushing yards in one game. Christian and John discuss why his performance is encouraging, even as the running backs and offensive line search for greater consistency. The receiving corps is developing, too. Jerron Tibbs posted a career-high nine catches for 114 yards after Joshua Manning stood out the previous week. Does Kansas State need a clear No. 1 receiver, or can spreading the ball around make this offense harder to defend? On defense, the Wildcats’ pass rush continues to impress. Kansas State has 11 sacks through three games after recording 28 all of last season. Jayden Bryant, Wendell Gregory and the rest of the defensive front are creating negative plays, although Tulane exposed some questions against the interior run defense. With Cincinnati and Big 12 play up next, Christian and John examine what Kansas State can build on and what still needs work.
