Alex Delton‘s first career start could prove to be a doozy.
According to multiple media outlets, Delton is expected to get the start at quarterback for Kansas State when the Wildcats travels to Fort Worth to take on sixth-ranked TCU. Delton would replace starter Jesse Ertz, who reportedly suffered a knee injury earlier on this season but battled through it in the win over Baylor and the double-overtime loss to Texas last weekend.
Delton replaced Ertz in the UT loss, completing 2-of-5 passes for 30 yards. He did most of his damage with his legs, however, carrying the ball for 79 yards and scoring a pair of touchdowns on 12 carries.
For his Wildcats career, which consists of eight games, Delton has attempted just 11 passes compared to 43 rush attempts.
This season through five games for 3-2 K-State, Ertz is 29th nationally in passing efficiency (150.2).
