Dublin, Ireland prepares to be an American football town again as the Kansas State Wildcats opens against the Iowa State Cyclones to kick off this college football season.

Last year, the Irish witnessed the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets upset the Florida State Seminoles. Quarterback Haynes King put on a rushing clinic, and the natives have opportunity to see something similar from the Wildcats quarterback Avery Johnson.

The Wildcats won at least nine games for the third straight season in last year and are poised to have a breakout season with Johnson returning under center.

Johnson took over from national championship-winning quarterback Will Howard, who led Ohio State to victory against Notre Dame. Despite a couple of nagging injuries throughout the season, Johnson still played effective football.

Defensively, the Wildcats added six key transfer portal pieces to plug in the holes that hurt them in the close stretch of the previous season.

Football in Dublin? That's great craic!
