The 1993 edition to the Copper Bowl featured the Wyoming Cowboys, and the Kansas State Wildcats.

K-State capped off its most successful season in 83 years, with its first-ever bowl game. The 20th ranked Kansas Wildcats, making only their second bowl appearance in school history, defeated the Wyoming Cowboys, 52-17 A sea of purple converged on the desert as 16,000 Kansas State fans flooded Tucson to establish a new Copper Bowl attendance record of 49,075.

It was supposed to be a contest. Forget that, Wyoming never showed up to play, and it was purple dominance from the first kickoff. The Wildcat offense blew-up for 502 total yards, producing the biggest point explosion since setting the school record in a 59-21 victory against Oklahoma in 1969.

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 TD 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.

Andre Coleman racked up a career-high 283 yards of total offense, tying or breaking three Copper Bowl records along the way. Quarterback Chad May threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns, including the picture-perfect 30-yarder to wide receiver Kevin Lockett on a fourth-down play in the fourth quarter .
