Those two will need to keep the score up against a tough K-State defense which has the ability to shut down just about any offense in the country.
How Kansas State Wins vs. Arizona
Kansas State's season will heavily depend on how sophomore quarterback Avery Johnson performs. Johnson appeared in eight games last year but is set to be the starter in 2024.
