Texas wins a thriller of its own making to keep Big 12 title hopes alive

The game is never won or lost on a single play, but one snap can decide the outcome. And for the Texas Longhorns, their Big 12 title and College Football Playoff aspirations depended on stopping Kansas State on a fourth and goal attempt in overtime. 

Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman could've kicked a chip-shot field goal to extend the game. Instead, he tried to steal victory in a contest his team had no business winning. Because if Texas would've allowed Kansas State to score, that wouldn't have been why they lost. It would've been because of the blocked punt, two interceptions, one fumble and numerous false start penalties that administered CPR to a lifeless K-State offense.
