Alex Barnes is K-State’s best offensive player, and it’s not close

If I could, I’d just fill this space with 7,000 heart emojis. Well, I could, but I’m a professional.

Alex Barnes behind this offensive line is the key for K-State’s offensive success. It’s been evident for a few weeks, but hopefully, it’s inarguable now.

Jesse Ertz isn’t effective enough as a passing threat and too much Elijah Price-like* to be a dependable running option. Charles Jones and Justin Silmon have their moments, but Barnes has never had a negative run in his short career. After a 19-carry 129-yard 4-touchdown day, he’s clearly the future, and the present.
