MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Avery Johnson has few peers among college football quarterbacks when it comes to explosive rushing ability. Two games in, Kansas State's sophomore starter hadn't had many chances to show it.

On Friday night, Arizona gave him no choice.

Johnson delivered his first career 100-yard rushing performance in his fourth start and threw for 156 yards with two touchdowns and no turnovers, leading No. 14 Kansas State to a 31-7 win over No. 20 Arizona.

"It felt really good just being able to match up with another top-20 team in the nation and being able to go out and have a dominant win like that," Johnson said.
