Will Howard will reign supreme with 300 yards passing and 4 touchdowns

Will Howard leads the Big 12 in touchdown passes. The Kansas State quarterback has found the endzone six times this season. When K-State is at its best, Will Howard leads the way, but they tend to struggle when he’s hobbled like he was in the second half of the Missouri loss. Howard is a true dual-threat quarterback, but the battle comes in for him when he doesn’t have his legs and is one-dimensional.

Besides Phillip Brooks, RJ Garcia is one of K-State’s most electric wide-receiving threats. He is coming from an injury that kept him from the UCF game. For the passing game to continue to make strides, he will need to be on the field making highlight plays only he can. The wide receiver room is very thin. Besides Garcia and Brooks, the next guy is Ben Sinnott, which every team in the NCAA knows about by now. Sinnott is one of the best tight ends in the nation, which is why he is constantly double-covered.

This game will be huge for Howard’s confidence and the Wildcats’ wide receivers; this could be a turning point of the season for that group. With Oklahoma State being 80th in the FBS and 11th in the Big 12 in passing yards allowed per game with 222.0, it’s safe to say that they will get torched by Will Howard and these highly talented wide receivers.
