Kansas State

Big 12 · 2026 season

The story so far

Kansas State fans opened Collin Klein's first season euphoric, then soured as a leaky run defense, questionable late-game calls and an Avery Johnson injury drained the optimism. Now 4-4 and down to a fourth quarterback, they see a bowl game slipping away.

what fans talked about, week by week
Season-long

  • Fans swung between praising Avery's record-setting start and blasting his decisions and reluctance to run, then fretted through his injury as Jacob Knuth and Barnett took over with obvious dropoff.

    “I don't fucking care if it's Avery making the call or the coaching staff, him being afraid to run the ball is embarrassing and the biggest waste of talent this school has seen in a very long time.”
