MANHATTAN, KS (November 7, 2009)--Daniel Thomas ran for 185 yards and a touchdown, and Kansas State harassed Todd Reesing into three turnovers to remain in control of the Big 12 North with a 17-10
victory over rival Kansas on Saturday.

Kansas State (6-4, 4-2) stayed close in the first half by
forcing two fumbles and an interception by Reesing, then took over
in the second behind Thomas' bruising running to end a three-game
losing streak to Kansas (5-4, 1-4) in the 107th version of the
Sunflower Showdown.

Reesing had another forgettable game a week after being benched,
undone by early turnovers, occasionally wobbly passes and a few
drops.

He finished with 241 yards on 14-of-27 passing, and Jacob
Branstetter missed 30-yard field goals in each half for the
Jayhawks' first four-game losing streak since 2006.
