Kansas State fullback Adam Harter slipped behind the Texas defense and turned to catch a potential touchdown pass on the final play of the first half. Alex Delton lofted a pass that hit him square in the palms of his hands. For a brief moment, the Wildcats appeared to have something to cheer about in an otherwise disappointing season.
And then the ball slipped between his fingers.
Just like that, K-State squandered its best (and only) scoring opportunity of the opening half and went on to lose 19-14 against the No. 18 Longhorns on Saturday at Snyder Family Stadium.
