Kansas State was just 1 for 5 on fourth down conversions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was Tulane\u2019s first road victory over a power conference school since beating Rutgers in 2010.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-kansas-state-tulane-is-important\">Why Kansas State-Tulane Is Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the 12-team playoff format, the non-league games have taken on added importance. The top <a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/college-football\/fbs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Group of Five<\/a> team is guaranteed a slot, but adding prestigious non-league wins helps in the rankings. Conversely, a Power Four school such as Kansas State could hurt its ranking by losing to a G5 team, unless it is the Big 12 champion and thus would earn an automatic bid.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kansas-state-preview\">Kansas State Preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, quarterback Avery Johnson was impressive in limited time behind Will Howard, who hit the transfer portal and is now the starting quarterback at Ohio State. Johnson, a dual-threat quarterback, played in seven games behind Howard. His one start came after Howard entered the transfer portal during Kansas State\u2019s 28-19 Pop-Tarts Bowl win over NC State. He was named the bowl game MVP after passing for 178 yards and two touchdowns and running for 71 yards and another score.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In last week\u2019s 41-6 opening home win over UT Martin, Johnson completed 14 of 21 passes for 153 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He also rushed for 37 yards on three carries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DJ Giddens, who rushed for 1,226 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, gained 124 yards and scored four TDs on 13 carries in the opening win. Colorado transfer Dylan Edwards had a rushing and receiving touchdown. Linebacker Desmond Purnell led Kansas State with seven tackles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On special teams, Ty Bowman blocked a punt that Colby McCalister returned for a touchdown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6a896cfa alignwide\">\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-21cd4368\"><a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/betmgm-promotions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"147\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-21cd4368\" src=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1\" alt=\"promo-page-banner\" title=\"PROMO-BANNER-2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-300x41.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-768x105.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-1024x139.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-750x102.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tulane-preview\">Tulane Preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sumrall came to Tulane after guiding Troy to consecutive Sun Belt Championships.

Star running back Makhi Hughes rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. Highly-touted USC transfer Mario Williams had four receptions for 124 yards.
