Avery Johnson added 217 passing yards and Kansas State outgained Tulane 428-260 while converting key third downs in a 31-20 win.
On Saturday, the Kansas State Wildcats defeated Tulane 31-20 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, led by quarterback Avery Johnson's career-best 152 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
The Wildcats entered as heavy favorites but trailed 7-0 early in the first quarter, marking their first deficit this season before responding with 17 unanswered points.
Johnson completed 20-of-27 passes for 217 yards, while receiver Jaron Tibbs caught nine passes for 114 yards and running back Jay Harris scored two 1-yard touchdowns.
Defensively, the Wildcats held Tulane to 260 total yards, though the rushing attack outside Johnson gained only 55 yards on 25 carries, revealing offensive line concerns.
Advancing to 3-0, the Wildcats travel to Cincinnati next week to open Big 12 play, where they must improve against stronger conference competition.
