Costly turnovers in loss Johnson was 23-for-39 passing for 238 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 24-19 loss to Houston. He also had eight rushes for 18 yards.

Impact Johnson committed two turnovers for the second time this season, the other instance occurring in Week 4 at BYU. The outcomes in both of those games didn't bode well for the Wildcats.

Johnson entered the season with a lot of dual-threat hype, however, he's averaged just 43.4 rushing yards per game and has just four scores on the ground. Kansas State is on a bye before playing Arizona State.
