The K-State Wildcats improved to 2-0 under head coach Collin Klein, turning a 10-point halftime lead into a 27-point advantage on their way to a 34-7 blowout victory over Washington State.

 

Quarterback Avery Johnson threw for nearly 200 yards and two touchdowns, while running back Rodney Fields Jr. eclipsed 100 yards on the ground and added a rushing touchdown.

 

The Wildcat defense has allowed just 10 total points through the first two games, and Klein praised his defense’s ability to rush the passer and take away opportunities through the air.

 

K-State also rushed for nearly 300 yards, and Klein says his deep rotation of running backs stayed eager to get back on the field as the Wildcats wore down the Cougars throughout the game.

 

The Wildcats will return home Friday to host Tulane, looking to start the season 3-0 under Klein.
