Kansas State Quarterback Avery Johnson Shares Biggest Regret This Season
Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson was asked about one thing he regretted this season Tuesday afternoon.
He simply said, “losing games.” But more specifically, he referenced the Wildcats’ blowout loss to BYU early in the season.
“I don’t like to lose,” Johnson said. “If I could have any of the losses back, it would probably be the BYU game. I feel like I failed my team as a leader that game; I didn’t step up when I needed to and wasn’t as vocal as I should’ve been. Obviously, my game translated that. I did some stuff that was just uncharacteristic of myself, trying to force and press things that normally I really don’t do in situations like that.”
Johnson went 15-of-28 for 130 yards and two interceptions against BYU, his worst performance of the year. His two picks gifted them 14 points and put the Wildcats in an early hole.
But even then, Johnson said he doesn’t necessarily lament this performance because he used it as a learning moment for the rest of the season. He didn’t have another multi-interception performance until Kansas State’s loss to Houston in November.
“I wouldn’t say I regretted it because I think that game was essential to my growth and only helped me,” Johnson said.
The Wildcats play Rutgers (7-5) Thursday night in the Rate Bowl.

In a recent interview, Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson opened up about his biggest regret this season. Despite leading the team to several victories and impressive performances on the field, Johnson revealed that his biggest regret was not being able to secure a conference championship for his team.
“I feel like I let my teammates down,” Johnson said. “We worked so hard all season and came so close to achieving our goal, but ultimately fell short. It’s a tough pill to swallow, knowing that I could have done more to help us succeed.”
Johnson went on to express his disappointment in himself and vowed to learn from this experience and come back stronger next season.
“I know that I have to take this disappointment and use it as fuel to improve and come back even better next year,” Johnson added. “I owe it to my teammates, coaches, and all the fans who have supported us throughout the season. I will do everything in my power to make sure we reach our goals next season.”
Despite his regret, Johnson’s determination and drive to succeed are clear. With his leadership and talent, there’s no doubt that he will bounce back and continue to make a significant impact on the field. Kansas State fans can rest assured that Johnson will be working tirelessly to ensure a successful season next year.
