Thompson and K-State open with 24-7 win over Stanford

Kansas State sixth-year quarterback Skylar Thompson ran for two touchdowns and the Wildcats opened the season with a 24-7 win over Stanford

SEPTEMBER 4, 2021 • Associated Press

Two rushing scores vs. Stanford Thompson went 9-of-14 passing for 144 yards with an interception while racking up 33 yards and two scores on 10 carries in Saturday's 24-7 win over Stanford.

Impact With two rushing scores, Thompson started back up exactly where he left off when he sustained a shoulder injury which took him out for most of 2020. During the 2019 season, Thompson had 11 rushing scores and he could realistically do that again this season as he projects to have double-digit carries most games. Thompson did find some minor success through the air, but did not find a touchdown pass. The sixth year senior will look for his first touchdown pass of 2021 when the Wildcats play Southern Illinois next week.
