Kansas State football is 3-0 after a 31-20 victory over Tulane! Avery Johnson delivered a career-high 152 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns as the Wildcats completed an undefeated non-conference schedule in Collin Klein’s first season as head coach. On this Locked On Kansas State postgame reaction, Christian Rauh breaks down why Johnson’s performance could be a turning point for the Wildcats heading into Big 12 play. The Kansas State quarterback completed 20 of 27 passes for 217 yards while adding 152 yards on the ground. With the running backs struggling to find room against Tulane, Johnson took over and helped K-State finish with 428 yards of total offense. The Kansas State passing game also showed encouraging signs. Jerron Tibbs led the Wildcats with nine receptions for 114 yards, Will Anciaux added 59 receiving yards, and Lincoln Cure continued to create opportunities at tight end. Christian discusses why Cure could become an even bigger part of the offense as the season progresses. And what about that Kansas State defense? The Wildcats recorded six sacks and 12 tackles for loss while holding Tulane to 260 total yards and just 95 rushing yards. Jayden Bryant recorded two sacks, Darian Whitaker Jr. contributed 1.5, and the defensive front delivered another impressive performance despite entering the season with questions surrounding the unit. Christian also examines Kansas State’s offensive line, which did not allow a sack, and explains why the Wildcats look significantly different from last season’s 6-6 team. Finally, it’s time to look ahead to the Big 12 opener against Cincinnati. Kansas State will hit the road for the first time this season as Collin Klein looks to improve to 4-0. With Houston, Texas Tech and BYU shaping the early Big 12 conversation, could the Wildcats become a legitimate conference championship contender? What impressed you most about Kansas State’s win over Tulane? Is Avery Johnson playing like the quarterback you expected, and how confident are you heading into Cincinnati?
