Kansas State runningback Dylan Edwards (3) celebrates the go-ahead touchdown against Rutgers during the second half of the Rate Bowl at Chase Field on Dec. 26, 2024, in Phoenix.

Overview

  • Edwards was cleared to play Friday, then left before halftime with four carries for 13 yards as coach Chris Klieman told FOX he likely would not play in the second half.
  • ESPN's Pete Thamel first reported the clearance earlier in the day, a shift from Klieman’s earlier assessment that Edwards was "probably 50-50" and not practicing Monday.
  • The junior injured his ankle on a muffed punt in the Week 0 loss to Iowa State in Dublin and missed subsequent games against North Dakota and Army.
  • Kansas State’s rushing attack has sagged without him, averaging about 109 yards per game to rank No. 112 nationally, with Joe Jackson leading the team in rushing.
  • Edwards averaged 7.4 yards per carry last season and scored on a 71-yard punt return in the 2024 meeting, while Arizona enters at 2-0 with a run defense allowing 91.5 yards per game.
