Why Dual-Threat Avery Johnson Makes Kansas State Wildcats Offense So Much Better

Kansas State’s 35–24 victory over Kansas in the Sunflower Showdown marked the Wildcats’ 18th consecutive win in the rivalry, extending a streak that predates current head coach Collin Klein’s tenure. The team overcame a 10-point first-quarter deficit, with quarterback Avery Johnson and running back Joe Jackson leading the late-game rally to secure the win at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

The victory also highlighted Johnson’s dual-threat abilities, which have become a cornerstone of K-State’s offensive success under Klein, who himself played in the series as a Jayhawks player. With the win, the Wildcats preserved their dominance in the annual matchup, now holding an unbroken 18-game winning streak against their in-state rivals.
