Carson Coffman threw two touchdown passes to Attrail Snipes and Kansas State had a less-than-stellar start to the second Bill Snyder era, holding off UMass, 21-17, last night in Manhattan, Kansas.
Kansas State bumbled its way through Snyder's first game in three years, turning it over three times and allowing a blocked punt return for a touchdown to fritter away most of an 18-point halftime lead.
UMass also struggled for most of Kevin Morris' debut as head coach, allowing Kansas State to score three touchdowns in the second quarter, managing 212 total yards on offense. The Minutemen pulled within four points thanks to two special teams turnovers.
