AUSTIN, Texas — Bert Auburn kicked a 42-yard field goal in overtime and the Texas defense got a key stop on fourth down to earn a 33-30 win Saturday in a matchup of Big 12 co-leaders. No. 7 Texas had led 27-7 late in the third quarter before No. 25 Kansas State stormed back with three touchdown passes from Will Howard. Texas went nowhere on its first possession of overtime before Auburn's go-ahead kick. Kansas State then drove to the Texas 6. Three consecutive plays gained only 2 yards before the Wildcats went for the win instead of the tie. Howard was pressured and his pass was batted down.
