Noah Fifita QB vs. Avery Johnson QB
Arizona’s quarterback Noah Fifita has been exceptional so far this season, managing to complete 64.9% of his passes for 595 yards and 5 touchdowns. His quarterback rating is high, mainly due to his ability to throw the ball accurately as reflected in his 10.4 yards per attempt and a long pass of 78 yards. However, he did throw 2 interceptions and was sacked two times which can impact a quarterback during the game and which he is very likely to face a lot in this game.
On the other hand, Kansas State’s Avery Johnson has displayed efficiency and composure while passing the ball, completing 65.9% of his passes for 334 yards with 4 touchdowns and only one interception. Johnson has had efficiency throwing the ball but does not throw it far, having an average of 7.6 yards per attempt. His ability to remain untouched in the pocket will be challenged by Arizona’s depacts.
Fifita and Johnson represent two contrasting styles on the play, Arizona’s dangerous offense and Kansas State’s patient offense. While Fifita pushes the ball further plunge, Johnson only manages to gain the necessary yards, making it a very interesting duel between the quarterbacks who can control the flow and pace of the game including its result.
Dynamic Offense: Arizona’s Rush and Air Attack
Arizona’s offense has been electric, thanks in large part to the performances of running back Quali Conley and wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. Conley’s impressive 7.5 yards per carry and 3 rushing touchdowns provide a solid ground game, complementing Fifita’s aerial assaults. McMillan has been the standout receiver with 315 yards and 4 touchdowns, averaging an impressive 26.3 yards per catch. This duo’s ability to break games wide open will be crucial as they face a sturdy Kansas State defense.
Kansas State’s Balanced Offensive Prowess
Kansas State’s offensive strategy relies heavily on the consistent performance of running back DJ Giddens and the targeted contributions of wide receiver Jayce Brown. Giddens, with 238 rushing yards at 7.4 yards per attempt, hasn’t found the end zone yet but keeps the chains moving effectively. Brown, though not as explosive this season, provides a reliable option for Johnson, especially in critical third-down situations. Their balanced attack will need to exploit any defensive lapses by Arizona to maintain drive momentum.
