A slew of early mistakes and one very questionable coaching decision from UTSA allowed Kansas State to jump out in front the Roadrunners by 20 points just before halftime. The Wildcats didn’t look back as they continued to punish UTSA offensively via quarterback Skylar Thompson’s 279 total yards and three touchdowns, in his first big statistical performance of the season.
The Roadrunners started the game with two offsides penalties from the defense on the opening drive. Thompson hit Kansas State wide receiver Zach Reuter for a wide open 37-yard completion, eventually setting up a three yard touchdown from running back Alex Barnes.
