K-State dispatches Colorado behind RB Thomas




MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Daniel Thomas ran for 145 yards and a touchdown, and Emmanuel Lamur had two interceptions to lead Big 12 North-leading Kansas State to a 20-6 win over Colorado on Saturday.

Humbled by an early loss to Louisiana-Lafayette and a 66-14 beatdown by Texas Tech, Kansas State (5-3, 3-1) is alone atop the Big 12 North after impressive wins over Texas A&M and Colorado. The Wildcats forced four turnovers and held Colorado to 244 total yards for their first 3-1 start in the Big 12 since 2000, during coach Bill Snyder's first tenure.

Colorado (2-5, 1-2) looked nothing like the team that traded big plays with Kansas last week, scoring on its first drive and doing little else to lose its 10th-straight road game. The Buffaloes are 2-17 away from Boulder in coach Dan Hawkins' three-plus seasons.

Kansas State's running game has been a big part of its recent success. The Wildcats have been consistent on the ground all season, ranking third in the Big 12, and even better the past two games, getting 204 yards against Colorado after a 232-yard day against Texas A&M.

Snyder really has did a great job of turning around the Wildcats. Buffaloes have been a bad road team since Hawkins has been coach. I have to wonder if Hawkins is gone after this season? Horrible coaching job this year in my opinion. I think one more loss and the Buffaloes will not qualify for a bowl. 6-6 wouldn't cut it this year.

Anybody think Hawkins keeps his job after this season?
