Kansas State 39, Louisiana Tech 33 (3 OT): 5 Observations, and Somebody Get Me a Doctor

It took another fourth-quarter uprising -- and three overtimes -- but when Jeff Driskel's four desperate attempts in the third overtime all completely missed their targets, K-State (3-0, 0-0 Big 12) survived the heroics of Trent Taylor and the apparently not-that-injured Carlos Henderson to escape with a 39-33 victory over Louisiana Tech (1-2, 0-2 CUSA) at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

Dominique Heath snagged a touchdown catch in the first overtime, followed by Jeff Driskel hitting Trent Taylor to answer. In the second overtime, a huge third-down sack by Elijah Lee forced Tech's Jonathan Barnes to kick a field goal; a fumbled snap by Joe Hubener forced Jack Cantele to kick a 44-yarder -- his fourth of the game on four attempts, one of which doinked through the uprights -- to extend the game.
