The rematch of last year’s Big 12 title game will be pivotal for both TCU and Kansas State as both teams have suffered surprising early season upsets
Both schools came out of nowhere to reach the Big 12 championship a year ago led by backup quarterbacks. Max Duggan was a Heisman finalist while K-State’s Will Howard became a local legend in Manhattan for leading the program to the title over the Horned Frogs.
Both teams also won in convincing fashion this past week setting up a huge Big 12 showdown on Saturday that will determine who’s a contender or pretender in the conference.A few hours after Josh Hoover put on a clinic against BYU, the Wildcats’ backup quarterback had his breakout moment. Avery Johnson, a four-star recruit from the 2023 class, came in to spark the Kansas State offense by rushing for five touchdowns and 90 yards on 13 carries.
Johnson was ranked a top-100 recruit in his class and is listed at 6-foot-2, 188 pounds. At this stage, he’s more of a runner than a polished passer, but is clearly a dangerous playmaker.Deuce Vaughn went down as one of the best players in Kansas State history and replacing the small, but mighty All-American running back has gone better than expected. The Wildcats are actually averaging more rushing yards per game than they were a year ago, but it’s been with a committee approach.
Howard and Johnson have combined for nearly 400 yards on the ground and 12 total touchdowns. The Horned Frogs will have to key in on more than one person to slow down the K-State rushing attack.One reason the rushing attack has remained so potent is the return of offensive guard Cooer Beebe. Beebe was voted a consensus All-American last season and has picked up right where he left off from last season. The senior has yet to allow a sack, continuing his streak from 2020.
