Late touchdown pushes Kansas State past TCU 24-17

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- For the first time in over a month, Kansas State walked off the field with a win. Skylar Thompson accounted for two touchdowns and sparked a late game-winning drive to lead the Wildcats to a 24-17 victory over TCU on Saturday and their first Big 12 Conference win of the season. With eight minutes to play and the game tied 17-17, Thompson had a 61-yard run during an 11-play, 95-yard drive, capped by his 3-yard touchdown run with 2:45 to play. "I knew it was just a matter of time because we were finally getting in a rhythm offensively," Thompson said. "It was a great play call, but they gave us the look we were expecting on that touchdown and we executed the play." TCU drove to the Kansas State 37 on the ensuing series, but couldn't convert on fourth-and-11.
