SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Making his first career start at quarterback on any level, Joe Hubener led the Kansas State Wildcats to a 30-3 victory against the UTSA Roadrunners on Saturday afternoon at the Alamodome.
The victory snapped Kansas State’s seven-game losing streak at indoor facilities. The Wildcats’ previous victory indoors was 1993 against Minnesota in the now-defunct Metrodome.
Hubener had a career-high 243 yards passing, completing 12 of 23 attempts, and also rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries.
He is taking over for Jesse Ertz, who suffered a season-ending knee injury on the third play of Kansas State’s opener last week.
UTSA’s (0-2) defense appeared to fluster Hubener early, sending multiple defenders on blitzes.
Hubener settled in after the initial drive, guiding Kansas State (2-0) to three straight scoring drives to open the second half.
The Wildcats amassed 418 total yards.
