Game summary
Wyoming took a quick 3–0 lead on a 35-yard field goal, but K-State put its high-powered offense into overdrive and scored on its first three possessions. J.J. Smith put K-State on the board with a two-yard TD run and Tate Wright added a 22-yard field goal before K-State drove 76 yards on its third possession to take a 16–3 edge on a Chad May touchdown plunge. All-American Andre Coleman closed out the first half with a 68-yard punt return to put K-State ahead 24–10 at the break, then blew things open with a 61-yard touchdown catch just 54 seconds into the third quarter.
Freshman All-American Kevin Lockett put K-State ahead 38–10 midway through the third quarter with a 30-yard touchdown reception before reserve running back Leon Edwards added a 13-yard touchdown run and cornerback Kenny McEntyre provided the game's crowning moment with a 37-yard interception return for a score.
Coleman racked up a career-high 283 yards of total offense, tying or breaking three Copper Bowl records along the way. May threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns.[1][2]
