Kansas State football and Colorado are facing major quarterback questions ahead of their Halloween showdown in Boulder. Avery Johnson's injury status remains uncertain, while Deion Sanders' comments about Julian Lewis have sparked questions about Colorado's quarterback situation. Locked On Kansas State and Locked On Buffs join forces to break down the biggest storylines surrounding this crucial Big 12 matchup. Kansas State enters the game at 4-3, with first-year head coach Collin Klein still searching for his first road victory. Avery Johnson's availability remains uncertain, and backup Jacob Knuth has reportedly been seen wearing a walking boot after starting against Arizona State. Dillon Duff and Blake Barnett have also dealt with injuries, leaving Kansas State with significant uncertainty at quarterback. Meanwhile, Colorado has its own problems. The Buffaloes have lost five consecutive games after starting 2-0, and questions continue surrounding former five-star quarterback Julian Lewis. Deion Sanders' recent comments have fueled speculation about Lewis' role and future with the program, while Isaac Wilson has shown flashes of potential but struggled with turnovers and consistency. What does this mean for Colorado's offense and the direction of Sanders' program? We also examine why Saturday could be a must-win game for both teams. Kansas State needs a road victory to build momentum toward bowl eligibility, while Colorado desperately needs to end its losing streak. The matchup could come down to several critical factors: - Can Kansas State generate pressure on Isaac Wilson? - Will Colorado establish a consistent rushing attack? - Can the Wildcats force turnovers after recording just one interception this season? - Will Colorado's penalty problems continue? - Who will start at quarterback for Kansas State? - Can Collin Klein secure his first road victory? Plus, we discuss Kansas State defenders Wendell Gregory, Darian Whitaker Jr. and Travis Bates, Colorado's offensive struggles under Brennan Marion, and the pressure surrounding both programs. It's a Halloween Big 12 showdown with major implications for Kansas State and Colorado. #KansasStateFootball #ColoradoFootball #Big12Football Photo Credit: Scott Sewell IMAGN Go AD Free and More with the Everydayer's Club!
