Avery Johnson led K-State to a blowout victory with his finest game in a purple uniform. The sophomore quarterback completed 19 of 31 passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns to go along with 60 yards and two touchdowns as a runner. The Cowboys had no answers for him.

Both Oklahoma State and Kansas State have eyes set on winning the Big 12 conference, but they need to win this game if they want to keep pace toward that goal. Both the Wildcats and Cowboys are coming off conference losses and sit at 0-1 in Big 12 play.

Last year's Doak Walker award winner, Ollie Gordon, has just 258 yards and four touchdowns in four games for the Cowboys so far.
