Kansas State will be Without Some Key Pieces Against NC State

#18 NC State is facing a dangerous #25 Kansas State team this evening, but quite a few of their dangerous pieces are missing.

Who is missing?

For starters, starting Quarterback Will Howard entered the Portal, opening the door for Freshman Avery Johnson to start today.

This season, Howard earned 2nd Team All-Big 12 honors. In 12 games, he threw for 2,643 yards and 24 touchdowns (10 interceptions). Howard also rushed for 351 yards and 9 touchdowns. His PFF grade was 77.7, ranking 5th on Kansas State’s offense.

The Wildcats will also be without their top two receivers this season.
