- QB: Says Avery won't be a top 5 QB on their schedule (opponents)

- Injury: There seem to be more injured players than what he provided.

- Entering Kansas State's 2026 Cincinnati game, Collin Klein says safety Logan Bartley and defensive end Jordan Allen are day-to-day and progressing well. Bartley is tracking toward playing after landing hard against Tulane, not confirmed cleared. Klein does not expect a long-term absentee back this week and says one unspecified player might return after the bye. - Klein plans to keep Kansas State's offensive-line competition and rotation going into Cincinnati in 2026 rather than settle on a fixed five. Tanner Morley's improving health supports that progression; the best-performing players will play, with spells for others and decisions made week by week. He does not announce a new starter or a guaranteed snap share. - In Kansas State's 2026 Tulane game, post-safety zone coverages opened pockets for the tight ends, Klein says. Passing distribution follows coverage, leverage and Avery Johnson's progression rather than preset receiver targets: on one naked play, a safety rolled over Josh Manning and Johnson threw the over route instead. This explains the usage, not a promised target increase or receiver demotion. - Reviewing Kansas State's 2026 Tulane win before Cincinnati, Klein credits Brandon White with securing punts in inconsistent wind and protecting field position even without a return. He also says the kicking units limited the opposing returners and won hidden yardage by 18 yards, while difference-maker plays were tied. That is his single-game assessment, not a projected special-teams edge at Cincinnati.

- Kansas State enters its 2026 Cincinnati matchup averaging 269.3 rushing yards at 6.7 per carry and 491.3 total yards at 7.0 per play. The table lists a 67% third-down conversion rate on 70 offensive plays per game. These are current raw results, not opponent-adjusted projections or a measured seconds-per-play tempo. - Kansas State's 2026 Cincinnati-week table lists 10 points and 182.7 total yards allowed per game at 3.3 yards per play. The split is 96 rushing yards at 2.8 per carry and 86.7 passing yards at 4.0 per attempt. Those unadjusted defensive results do not establish how the unit will perform against Cincinnati.

- Offense: Ahead of Kansas State's game against Cincinnati on Saturday, here's a look at the raw numbers — the key statistics that you need to know ahead of kickoff.

- QB/OL: PFF Season Grades (Per Snap scores for the group for each game, averaged over the season): Season Position Grade: DE: 70.68 QB: 70.52 OL: 67.66 DT: 66.90 CB: 65.71 RB: 65.43 LB: 65.11 S...

- QB: Every QB has progressions based on how they read the defense.

- QB: QBs and coaches absolutely have a deeper knowledge on the subject than fans, but it's really not that complex.

- QB: He ran just how we all expected him to Saturday, needs to keep it up

- QB: I agree with every point you made on Avery and how he should be used.

- QB: Receivers are important but in our offense we also use tight ends and running is first, whether it be running backs or quarterback.

- After Kansas State's Tulane win, Avery Johnson said he and Brandon White read an option route differently on a missed touchdown opportunity. Johnson accepted responsibility: once White gives his route indicator, the quarterback needs to put the ball on his body rather than try to place it. This is Johnson's explanation and correction, not an announced change to the option-route package. - The report lists Brandon White's snap count falling from 36 against Washington State to 24 against Tulane. That is an observed one-game workload reduction. Neither the quoted coaches nor Johnson identify it as a punishment, injury limit or permanent depth-chart change, and the report does not establish why the reduction occurred.

- OL: Exactly - They sold out to stop the running game...it was the right approach, as we just havn't made the deep ball a threat year; but....Avery can run...and that's hard to adjust too.

- Pick/market: Watch the TV while listening and figure out which one is ahead of the other.

- QB/DL: I just don’t understand all the 3rd and long rush in and let WB escape the pocket where they are comfortable and coverage has to consider coming up for the QB run.

- RB: RB’s need to quit dancing and run hard, just like that last run by Joe

- OL/WR: Banks isn't a very good WR and should not be in there in goal line situations where route running is critical.

- QB/WR: I never thought i would wish that a K-State QB could at least pass as well as CK7, but here we are.

- QB: He just isn't the run first run every other down kinda QB some want him to be.

- RB: Definitely some growth needed on the d side which hasn’t been bad.

- OL: Better than the offensive line lol

- QB: The using his legs Avery from the 2nd quarter on today is a really good College QB.
