No. 7 Texas nearly saw its national championship hopes disappear thanks to a second-half collapse at home against No. 23 Kansas State. Instead, the Longhorns eked out a too close for comfort 33-30 win in overtime that will both keep their College Football Playoff and Big 12 title dreams alive for another week.
Texas dominated the first three quarters and had a 27-7 lead with 4:13 remaining in the third. That’s when the self-destruction began.
In the span of 2:13, Texas allowed Kansas State to score three touchdowns and that 20-point lead turned into a 27-27 tie.
