Kansas State vs. Cincinnati with Both 3-0 Is Among Five Big 12 Openers This Week
Johnson has accounted for 10 touchdowns in Kansas State’s first three games, while the Wildcats average 45.3 points per game.
- The 3-0 Wildcats open their Big conference season Saturday night at Cincinnati, with the offense averaging more than 490 yards per game as a dark-horse College Football Playoff contender.
- After Chris Klieman retired late last year, former Wildcats quarterback Collin Klein returned to lead the program. Recruited by Klein a few years ago, Avery Johnson now plays under his former offensive coordinator and former Heisman Trophy finalist.
- Setting a new school benchmark, Avery Johnson threw for at least 200 yards and ran for at least 150 yards last week during a 31-20 victory against Tulane. His career-high 152 rushing yards surpassed any 100-yard game Klein recorded.
- Following an interception returned 50 yards against Washington State, Klein helped Avery Johnson refocus during a weather delay. Johnson led a near-flawless second half to secure the victory, demonstrating the coach-quarterback dynamic's immediate impact.
- Avery Johnson has already thrown 54 touchdown passes, setting a school record, and will soon pass Lynn Dickey in career passing yardage. His trajectory positions Kansas State for conference title contention.
