MANHATTAN, Kan.
Kansas State was far from perfect during a 39-33 triple overtime victory over Louisiana Tech on Saturday at Snyder Family Stadium, but the Wildcats certainly proved one thing: They can perform under pressure.
Every time it looked like they were in serious trouble, they came through.
The biggest play occurred in triple overtime when Joe Hubener found Kody Cook for a 31-yard touchdown on third-and-16. Hubener also found Dominique Heath for an unlikely touchdown pass in the first overtime.
Those clutch plays came after K-State scored two touchdowns and a field goal in the final 15 minutes, 17 seconds to rally from a 13-6 deficit and then escaped defeat with a against a nonconference opponent it was expected to beat comfortably.
