Kansas State lost a heartbreaker to Oklahoma State 43-37 on Saturday at Snyder Family Stadium.
Jordan Sterns intercepted a pass in the end zone as time expired to end all hope of a Wildcats comeback after it looked like a victory was destined to occur early in the fourth quarter.
K-State led 37-28 and possessed the ball at midfield with 9 minutes remaining and its biggest victory of the season appeared within reach. But the No. 22 Cowboys (7-2, 5-1 Big 12) stuffed K-State quarterback Jesse Ertz on third-and-one and the Wildcats (5-4, 3-3 Big 12) decided to punt.
