- Gilz's stated Kansas State-Tulane prop is Jaron Tibbs to reach 40 receiving yards at a quoted -129. He also suggests considering four or more receptions, without presenting that as his main play. These are the article's quoted selections, not current verified market prices. - The writer expects a Tibbs rebound after a nine-yard outing while Josh Manning has attracted attention through Kansas State's first two games. His case rests on Tibbs' connection with Avery Johnson and a potentially competitive Tulane game keeping the passing attack involved. This is an analyst's expectation, not a reported WR1 change, target increase or guaranteed bounce-back.

- Kansas State is averaging 303.5 rushing yards per game entering Tulane week. GoPowercat's writers now view the offensive line as a strength after preseason concerns and point to Avery Johnson and Rodney Fields Jr. as threats on the ground, while acknowledging the early opposition has been weak. - Avery Johnson threw two interceptions against Washington State, including one returned for a touchdown, despite Kansas State's dominant overall performance. The column contrasts that offensive ball-security issue with a defense that has not allowed a touchdown this season; the pick-six was not a defensive touchdown conceded.

- QB/DL: If the Cats blow them out that will be the most positive sign to date in a overall positive season.

- QB: The bottom line is this.

- QB: The way that Klein gushed about him leading up to the game and after the game was pretty telling.

- QB/RB: Listened to some people comparing Fields favorably to Hubert - had to shake my head.

- QB/LB: If Ertz would have stayed healthy I think he would have been up with the greats.

- QB/OL: They should deduct 5 pff points from a center every time they roll a snap to the qb.

- QB: Mensah wasnt the quarterback when they came to manhattan mate.

- QB: Avery needs to transfer for next year to a program that has a QB whisperer who can fix the problems the fans thinks he has since those issues haven’t been eliminated while he has...

- QB/OL: If we want to discuss true "turnover machines", Josh Freeman needs to be front and center (44 TD to 34 INT).

- QB: The only big name QB I can think of who sat without playing much for a couple of years and stayed at the same school is Arch Manning.

- QB/RB: I still think he will, I think it will take a few games.

- Kansas State's Dillon Duff is day-to-day, while Blake Barnett is expected to need longer after being hurt in the opener; Collin Klein said Barnett's issue was not season-ending. Klein also reported positive progress for Oliver Miller and Donovan McIntosh, but McIntosh's timing remained unclear. None of those updates establishes a confirmed return date. - Klein praised Avery Johnson's third-down playmaking but wants cleaner eye discipline and more willingness to take easy throws rather than think several steps ahead or press. Kansas State sees room to improve passing efficiency and distribution without discounting Johnson's leadership or announcing a quarterback change. - Klein said Kansas State's pass protection improved against Washington State enough to support deeper attempts. He highlighted growing confidence from Charlie Adams, Dylan Villarouel and Ryan Howard, plus more work for Tanner Morley. The line is progressing, but he explicitly described the offense as a work in progress rather than a finished unit. - Klein rejected the idea that Joe Jackson had taken a lesser role merely because he did not receive Kansas State's first snap. He still views Jackson as integral in the run and passing games and praised the backfield's physical, unselfish approach. A different first-play back does not establish a demotion or a fixed reduced workload. - Kansas State generated pressure from several players, with Travis Bates and Elijah Hill recording sacks and Darien Whitaker Jr. and Jordan Allen disrupting the quarterback. Klein also credited Gabe Powers' communication and processing for helping others align. Secondary coverage exchanges still need improvement despite the stronger front-seven play.

- QB/OL: KU losing is always good but to see their QB look that bad against what I think is at best a mid level SEC team was the cherry on top.

- QB/LB: he has no touch...one reaso i doubd he will get drafted, and for a running QN he isn't the best scramble.

- QB/DL: Here's the biggest thing for this defense: we're getting pressure (lots) with just 4 guys.

- QB/WR: He also becomes a blocker who can take on LBs and actually get a hat on them in space but I think blocking down on a big DE or trap blocking a DT is...

- Injury: My hope is that the coaching staff figures out what Avery does best through trial and error without costing us a win.

- QB: Hard to get a sack when (from memory) the average time for the ball leaving the qb's hands was 2.1 seconds

- QB: I’m going to defend Avery till I’m blue in the face but I agree with you on this.

- QB: Avery is going to need to get us our first couple tds through the air.

- QB: That far side line judge had two bad spots in a row.

- QB: When Wazzo starts rolling their QB, that's when he's dangerous.

- QB: Yeah… the fact it’s a senior that pulls that trigger makes it much worse

- QB: to make it worse, if he would have tackled him, the int wouldn’t have mattered because time was expired.

- QB: It isn't the plan, but if Avery would have taken the yards in front of him on that rollout it would have been a first down.

- Pick/market: Our DBs look fine but I attribute 90% of this to opposing QB’s running for their life- against a simple 4-man rush.

- QB: That TD pass from AZ state quarterback is a throw Avery is incapable of making
