K-State Starts Season With 31-22 Win Against UCLA
Sept. 4, 2010
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP)-- Daniel Thomas rushed for 234 yards and two touchdowns and Kansas State rallied for a 31-22 victory over UCLA Saturday before a crowd of 51,059, the biggest for a home opener in Wildcats' history.
There were three touchdowns in the final 123 seconds and Kansas State had two, including Thomas' 35-yard gallop after the Wildcats fell on UCLA's onside kick.
Thomas, the Big 12's leading rusher last year, set up scores with several big runs, including one for 44 yards and another for 29. His 28 carries and 234 yards were both career highs.
After Carson Coffman's 5-yard TD pass to Brodrick Smith put Kansas State ahead 24-16 with 2:03 left, Kevin Prince led the Bruins on a lightning-quick drive, hitting Cory Harkey for 35 yards and then connecting with Ricky Marvray on a 29-yard TD toss. With 1:19 to play, the Bruins elected to go for 2. But Prince's pass into the end zone fell incomplete and Kansas State's Travis Tannahill recovered the ensuing onside kick.
Seemingly just trying to run out the clock, the Wildcats handed the ball to Thomas and the quick, rugged senior burst through a hole over the right side and dashed 35 yards for the TD that clinched Kansas State's 21st consecutive victory in a home opener.
