Losing beginning quarterback Will Howard to the NCAA transfer website could not stop Kansas State from winning Thursday night.
The Wildcats beat the NC State Wolfpack 28-19 in the Pop-Tarts Bowl at Camping World Stadium in Orlando as real freshman quarterback Avery Johnson shone in the very first start of his college profession.
In Howard’s lack, Johnson tape-recorded 178 passing backyards and 71 hurrying backyards for 3 overall goals.
Howard, in spite of going into the transfer website on Dec. 4, has yet to choose on a brand-new school.

K State does not appear to have actually missed out on a beat without Will Howard. Avery Johnson is placing on a program.

I do not understand anybody’s worth that has actually dropped more in the last 24 hours without playing a video game than previous Kansas State QB Will Howard
Johnson’s efficiency heightened reports that Howard, a four-year starter for Kansas State, left due to the fact that of the threat he would lose his position to Johnson next season.

Tuned into the Pop Tarts Bowl and saw why Will Howard is no longer there.

Yep, that’s why Will Howard is moving

K-State ought to have begun this guy all season over Will Howard.

I like Will Howard, however Avery is light-years ahead.
In addition to leading the Wildcats to a championship game triumph, Johnson offered college football fans in Manhattan hope that Kansas State is set for playoff success behind their brand-new first-string quarterback.

Avery Johnson stocks increasing. Kansas State has a gem

Kansas States’ quarterback is the brand-new Will Howard eh? We’ll see him next year. K-State looks fatal entering into next year. The BIG-12 might not be prepared for them.

Kansas State running back DJ Giddens hurried for 151 lawns and a goal throughout Thursday night’s win.
NC State quarterback Brennan Armstrong tossed for 164 lawns and a choice while including a goal on the ground in the Wolfpack loss.
