Five points short at Cincinnati, and the room insists Avery's legs remain the offense's best-kept secret.
What happened
Kansas State went to Cincinnati and came home 3-1 after a 26-31 loss, and the autopsy started before the buses did. The turning point wasn't a play so much as a pattern: Avery declining to run, drive after drive, against a defense that had long since stopped pretending to care. One fan called it "the biggest waste of talent this school has seen in a very long time." Another noted his arm still plays, if anyone respected his legs. Misery climbed from 64 to 69. Talent isn't the problem, which somehow stings more.
What fans said
“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.”

“Honestly his arm is still good enough to be a weapon if the defense is at all concerned about him taking off, WHICH THEY AREN'T”
