MISSED CHANCES: Kansas State MUST Run Avery Johnson More to Unlock the Offense
Kansas State’s offense is leaving points on the field — and it all comes down to how they’re using Avery Johnson. Right now, he’s being asked to play more like a pocket passer, but Johnson is at his most dangerous when he’s a true dual threat. The numbers don’t lie: only 7 rush attempts vs. North Dakota, with over half of his yards coming on a single late run. That’s not enough. In today’s episode of Locked On Kansas State, we break down: Why K-State’s offense is too timid with Johnson’s legs How designed QB runs could transform the Wildcats’ attack Comparisons to Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels in college — and what that says about Johnson’s usage Why the coaching staff can’t play scared, even with injuries in the backfield How more QB run action could also make the passing game even more explosive Plus, we dive into the matchup with Army, where the Wildcats’ linebackers face a huge test against the triple option. Can Austin Romaine and the defense clean up the mistakes that kept North Dakota hanging around? If Kansas State wants to be a Big 12 contender — and if Avery Johnson is going to prove he’s one of the best dual-threat QBs in college football — it starts with letting him run. Drop your score predictions for K-State vs. Army in the comments ⬇️ and let us know: How many carries should Avery Johnson be getting every game?
