Quarterback Avery Johnson started the last month of the last season for Kansas State, preparing for his first year as the starter.
It's more than just making a little extra money for the school, winning a trophy and bragging rights. It's also a valuable time for younger players to get more practice.
"I think that month was really big for him," K-State coach Chris Klieman told ESPNU during Big 12 Media Days Tuesday. "Will had already departed so he got to really run the team and be the No. 1 guy and have some success in the bowl game."
