Rapid Recap: Discussion on the Kansas State passing offense
Kansas State lessons from last week
Kansas State struggled at times offensively at BYU last week.
They managed just nine points and turned the ball over three times and were not successful when going for it both times on fourth down. K-State offensive coordinator Conor Riley praised the BYU defense and crowd for what they did to the Wildcat offense.
However, he also was quick to say Kansas State beat themselves. The Wildcats had eight penalties, with five coming in the red zone. The red zone penalties also forced K-State into three field goals and not score a touchdown on any of the three red zone opportunities.
Moving forward
Moving forward was a major message from Riley. Kansas State was not very good last week and everyone is frustrated with the result, but they can’t let BYU beat them twice. The message has been that the best and most experienced players have to play well and be more consistent.
Avery Johnson has responded well to last week and is showing a lot of growth and maturity in his handling of those struggles and that adversity. At the same time, he is also doing well by moving forward to Oklahoma State.

Passing game
The K-State passing game has been inconsistent in the first four games. Riley believes that it is getting closer, though.
Timing has been better every week. The Kansas State offensive coordinator also pointed out that the receivers have improved every week. Their production is still missing and that matters, but the film study has been kinder to them. They need it to actually materialize in results.
While the receivers do need to improve as a unit, so does the quarterback, running back, offensive line and tight end positions. Every position on offense is still a work in progress.
