  "account": "Kansas State's quarterback Avery Johnson spearheaded an all-around performance, leading his team to a 31-20 victory over Tulane on Saturday. Johnson's 227 passing yards on 21-of-28 attempts complemented his 152 yards rushing and two touchdown scores. Kansas State broke through their season-long offensive struggles early, as they scored on their first possession of the game. They capitalized on a Tulane field goal early in the first quarter, extending their lead with a 1-yard run by Jay Harris. Johnson then added a 7-yard touchdown run. Tulane's lone second-half touchdown came in the form of a 58-yard field goal by Cooper Helmke. The Wildcats' defense held strong, allowing Tulane just 260 total yards. Jaron Tibbs contributed significantly on offense with nine catches for 114 yards. Harris was instrumental, rushing for both of K-State's touchdowns in the first half. Kadin Semonza led the way for Tulane with 165 passing yards and a touchdown. Despite their loss, Tulane set a conference record with 19 non-conference road victories since 2022. Kansas State's next Big 12 game is against Cincinnati.",
