The matchup between the Pokes and the Wildcat defense just continues to sound more and more appetizing.
“Downfield, I have a better top speed than most guys, and a knack to run through the ball, which is something I worked on a lot,” Washington said.
And those statistics could increase this weekend as the Cowboys welcome Kansas State to Stillwater. The Wildcats have the third-worst pass defense nationally, giving up 303.4 passing yards per game, and they’ve given up 24 pass plays of at least 20 yards (fourth-worst among FBS teams). That kind of a matchup could mean a lot of big plays between quarterback Mason Rudolph and Washington, which means a lot of running for the Kansas State defensive backs.
