Kansas State racked up 588 yards of total offense while limiting Southeast Missouri State to only six rushing yards as they rolled to a 45-0 victory in the 2023 season opener at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
Will Howard became only the sixth player in Big 12 history to score touchdowns rushing, passing, and receiving, three other players racked up over 100 yards rushing or receiving, and K-State fans got to witness the future when Avery Johnson made his hotly anticipated debut in purple.
K-State capitalized early after shutting the Redhawks down on their first possession. Although the first offensive play for the Wildcats was an amateurish clownshow which thankfully didn’t result in a turnover, the rest of the drive was a series of successful experiments involving most of the expected feature players.
