  "account": "Boulder, CO — Kansas State University's starting quarterback for their upcoming game against Colorado will be determined by injuries to their top options. Blake Barnett, Dillon Duff, Avery Johnson, and Jacob Knuth are currently the Wildcats' active quarterbacks. Johnson and Knuth have been ruled out due to injuries, with Johnson's injury occurring during a recent game and Knuth rolling his ankle twice during a loss against Arizona State. Barnett, who might have been the second-string quarterback going into the season, had more experience than the others due to an injury last year. Duff, a sophomore, impressed head coach Collin Klein throughout the preseason before getting injured and missing the first three weeks of the season. Kansas State's emergency quarterback option would be a player who takes direct snaps in the Wildcats' formation, with linebacker Jackson recently limping off the field after two plays in that formation.",
