Avery Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - Kansas State Wildcats | FOX Sports

Limited impact in the snow Johnson completed 10 of 17 passes for 115 yards during Saturday's 24-14 win versus Colorado. He also had seven rushes for 36 yards.

Impact Johnson didn't have to do much as Kansas State grinded Colorado down with their rushing game. It was a difficult day to pass the ball in the elements. Joe Jackson has been huge with five touchdowns and 435 yards over the last two weeks. With the win, the Wildcats became bowl eligible, so they will be playing again in a bowl game.

Two scores in wild game Johnson completed 12 of 23 passes for 102 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 51-47 defeat to Utah. He also had 12 rushes for 72 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Johnson added his eighth rushing touchdown of the season which is a career-high in a wild game in Utah. The Utes erased a 12-point deficit in the final seven minutes to pull out the comeback win. Most of Kansas State's offensive production came via the ground game and in the first half. Johnson threw an interception in his third straight contest and continues to struggle to be impactful in the passing game. He'll look to finish out the regular season with a better performance when the Wildcats go up against Colorado who has a bad pass defense.

Slugfest with Oklahoma State Johnson completed 15 of 28 passes for 177 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 14-6 win over Oklahoma State. He also had nine rushes for 26 yards.

Impact Johnson threw his 17th touchdown pass of the season and survived a slugfest with Oklahoma State. The dual-threat quarterback struggled under pressure for the majority of the game. The touchdown pass came in the second quarter on a 34-yard strike to Jayce Brown. Brown sustained a serious arm injury that's likely to keep him out for the rest of the year. Johnson will need to lean on other targets moving forward. Kansas State will look to become bowl-eligible when they play at Utah next week.

Impact Johnson committed three turnovers, including his first lost fumble of the year, against the Red Raiders which was too much to overcome. He did record two rushing scores in consecutive games; however, it appears that the dual-threat quarterback is being asked to do a bit much in the run-game. Star running back Dylan Edwards remains out with an injury and the other running backs have struggled. Johnson has at least one passing touchdown in five straight games and in eight of nine games overall this season. He remains a top fantasy option as the Wildcats are running their entire offense through him right now. They'll go up against a bad Oklahoma State team next week.

Four total scores against Kansas Johnson was 11-for-17 passing for 231 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 42-17 win over Kansas. He also had six rushes for 17 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact Johnson's dual-threat style of play was too much for Kansas. The four total touchdowns were a season-high mark for the quarterback. He's thrown at least two touchdown passes in four straight games and is starting to round into form as Kansas State gets deep into their conference schedule. Johnson will need to bring his best game when they play Texas Tech next week, one of the best teams in the country. Expect Johnson to be even more involved in the run-game as Texas Tech has a vaunted defensive line that will look to put pressure on the running quarterback.

Against TCU, he connected with TE Garrett Oakley twice and once again with WR Jerand Bradley. The Wildcats are on a bye next week before heading to play in-state rival Kansas.

Impact Johnson had a spectacular fantasy performance with three total scores and a season-high 339 passing yards, however, had a costly INT late in the game which was returned for a touchdown by Baylor. Kansas State gave up a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter in the loss to the Bears. Johnson has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride this season but has taken on a bigger role in the last two games with an average of 35.0 passing and 11.0 rushing attempts per game. That's resulted in more offensive production and Kansas State has needed all of it. Expect more heavy volume in the dual-threat role when the team plays TCU next week.
