Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson is officially questionable for their clash against Arizona State this weekend, a move that has to be making Wildcat fans scratch their heads. The availability report dropped on Wednesday, October 21, and suddenly the starting QB’s status for Saturday is up in the air.
What’s Up With That “No Apparent Injury” Status?
What gives here? Johnson stepped off the field for just a single play back on October 17 during their win over Kansas, but then he came right back and finished the entire game like nothing happened. The team said he had “no apparent injury” then, so this questionable tag on the availability report is a total head-scratcher. You finish a game, look fine, and then days later you’re questionable for the next one? It just doesn’t add up right now.
Backup Quarterbacks Already Battling Injuries
And if Johnson can’t go? Oh boy. Kansas State would be looking at one of three backups making their *first career start* against Arizona State. Remember how those backups have already been dealing with injuries all season? This is not ideal, folks. Not at all. It means a huge amount of pressure on an inexperienced guy to step up in a difficult road environment.
So, all eyes will be on Tempe this Saturday, October 24, at 2:45 p.m. CT. Will Johnson be out there leading the charge, or will we see a fresh face trying to navigate a rough situation? Wildcat fans, cross your fingers, because this weekend is going to tell us a lot about the depth of this team’s quarterback room.
