There is no understating just how competitive Kansas State quarterbacks Alex Delton and Skylar Thompson were during spring football practice last month.
K-State coaches flipped a coin to determine which one of them would start the spring game and then they both stuffed the stat sheet in front of a live crowd by making athletic plays and throwing touchdown passes. When it was over, Bill Snyder declared them to be “dead even.”
It could be a while, perhaps until September, before Snyder selects an opening-day starter.
It has also been a while since Snyder has supervised such a close quarterback competition.
