LUBBOCK, Texas — Freshman quarterback Avery Johnson ran for five touchdowns, a first in FBS this season, while sharing time with starter Will Howard, and Kansas State beat Texas Tech 38-21 on Saturday night.
Jake Strong led a 99-yard drive to the only lead for Texas Tech in his debut in the third quarter after replacing injured starter Behren Morton. But the freshman threw three interceptions after the Wildcats had gone back in front. Johnson, whose only other touchdown came in a blowout of Southeast Missouri State in the opener, replaced Howard on the third series and scored on a 2-yard run for a 10-0 lead.
His 30-yard run put Kansas State back in front for good at 24-21, and Johnson’s 11-yard score put the Wildcats up 10 the first play after VJ Payne’s 17-yard return of Strong’s first interception.
