Wow. Texas wins. Longhorns 33, Kansas State 30 in OT. K-State goes for the win in overtime rather than the game-tying FG. Byron Murphy and Barryn Sorrell with the pressure, Will Howard slips and throws it up incomplete. No. 7 Texas (8-1) is now 5-1 in Big 12 play.

Overtime in Austin. Worth pointing out that Texas has really struggled in red-zone scoring this season. Could be an advantage for Kansas State.
WOW. K-State misses the 27-yard FG to tie it up. This game is so wild. Texas up 30-27 with 1:45 left.
Kansas State is in the red zone... The Texas lead is 30-27 with under 3:30 to play 👀
Texas K Bert Auburn with a 34-yard FG. Texas leads Kansas State, 30-27, with 6:03 remaining in the 4th quarter

Kansas State ties it after Texas’ fumble 👀https://t.co/LMXKIseAhn
Texas (-3.5) was up 27-7... Kansas State just tied it up 🍿 https://t.co/WnAIFM2C1f
Oh my, K-State botches a go-ahead PAT. Still, Texas was up 27-7 like 10 minutes ago and now it’s 27-27.
Kansas State has come all the way back. Wow. A Jonathon Brooks fumble turns into a Will Howard-to-Jayce Brown touchdown. The PAT failed, though. Texas 27, Kansas State 27 with 12:37 left.
Still a game here in Austin. Texas, which once led 24-7, has seen its lead shrink to six. Kansas State's first long, sustained touchdown drive, plus another six after a Maalik Murphy INT has pulled the Wildcats into striking distance. Texas 27, Kansas State 21 (13:33 left)
Kansas State back within six points of Texas. Somehow. It was 27-7 an eye-blink ago.
Kansas State has life in Austin! 27-21, 13 minutes to play ⏳
Texas leads 17-7 at the break, but it should be 20-0. Kansas State didn't cross midfield on first six drives and went three-and-out four straight times. But the blocked punt changed things and led to a TD. Now Wildcats get ball to start second half.
Kansas State capitalizes on the short field after blocking a punt. Will Howard throws a 6-yard touchdown pass to Phillip Brooks. Texas leads 17-7 with 54 seconds remaining before halftime.
Blocked punt. Touchdown pass from Will Howard to Phillip Brooks. Kansas State gets the ball first in the third quarter. This is improbably still a game despite Texas out-gaining the Wildcats by 230 yards.
Kansas State crossed midfield for first time all day after blocking a punt. Four plays later, Wildcats score and this is a game... Texas leads 17-7 with 54 seconds before halftime.
My goodness. Texas could not have started this big game any better. Texas 17, K-State 0.
