Kansas State football: Wildcats rout Nevada 38-17, start season undefeated

The Kansas State football team hosted the Nevada Wolf Pack for the Week 3 matchup on Sept. 18. The Wildcats sent their fans home happy, racking up 21 fourth-quarter points en route to a 38-17 win.

Saturday’s largest storyline was the absence of sixth-year senior quarterback Skylar Thompson. He left the game against Southern Illinois after suffering a non-contact knee injury.

Days after the game, Kansas State head football coach Chris Klieman said that Thompson will “be out indefinitely with a knee injury.” Sophomore quarterback Will Howard received the starting nod, following a below-par performance filling in against Southern Illinois.
