Reed sparks K State with 99 yard return and kickoff switch
Ryen Reed ignited Kansas State with a 99 yard kickoff return and a 68 yard punt return and 53 yard kickoff return, breaking a three game stretch without touches. Byron Pringle assisted with a side switch on the opening kickoff to create space for Reed. Reed’s two other returns and the Wildcats’ strong special teams propelled a 7 3 lead and eventual win as Kansas State dominated field position. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder praised special teams as a longtime priority and noted his son Sean’s role in its coordination. Kansas’ miscues, including a bad punt snap and a 6 yard start after a fair catch, underscored the day’s miscues. Kansas dropped to 1 7 on the season 2 5 against the spread with Baylor up next.
