Oklahoma State started the game with a 5–3 record (3–2 in conference play). The Cowboys had just come off their homecoming loss to West Virginia the previous week. Prior to this game, Oklahoma State led the series 37–23.[3]
Oklahoma State scored in their opening drive by marching down the field and concluding when Tyreek Hill made a 2-yard run for a touchdown. Ben Grogan’s kick made the score 7–0 OSU. But the ensuing kick-off by Oklahoma State resulted in Morgan Burns successfully running 86 yards for a touchdown. Matthew McCrane’s extra point tied the score 7–7 with 11:36 on the clock in the first quarter. Kansas State’s Charles Jones ran in for 6 yards with 4:16 left in the first and Kansas State held the lead for the remainder of the game. Kansas State achieved 36 unanswered points until Ramon Richards made a 38-yard interception for a touchdown after the K-State starters were pulled from the game. With 4:49 left in the game, Matthew McCrane was sent out to make an attempt at a 53-yard field goal. The attempt was good and Kansas State won 48–14.[4]
