#TBT To Gundy-Era Thrillers With K-State
November 03, 2016 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER - Oklahoma State and Kansas State have had a number of memorable matchups during the Mike Gundy era (2005-present). A look at some of the best:
Â
Â
2006: Kansas State 31, Oklahoma State 27 (Manhattan)
The Cowboys led by 10 midway through the fourth quarter, but K-State scored two touchdowns in the final 3:04 to wrestle the game away.
2007: Oklahoma State 41, Kansas State 39 (Stillwater)
The lead changed hands five times in the second half, but K-State was in position to win after taking a 39-38 lead following a touchdown and successful two-point conversion with 1:10 remaining. A Zac Robinson-to-Dantrell Savage 24-yard completion was the key play on a drive that set up Jason Ricks to nail the game-winning field goal with two seconds remaining.
2010: Oklahoma State 24, Kansas State 14 (Manhattan)
With Biletnikoff Award-winning receiver Justin Blackmon out of action, an Oklahoma State defense that had been criticized and maligned all year stepped up to deliver the Cowboys to a 24-14 win by suffocating the Wildcat attack. OSU held K-State to 289 yards of offense and forced three turnovers.
2011: Oklahoma State 52, Kansas State 45 (Stillwater)
The highest-scoring game in series history saw K-State take a 38-37 lead with just more than five minutes remaining, but the two teams combined to score three touchdowns in the next three minutes, resulting in a 52-45 lead for OSU with 2:16 left. Quarterback Collin Klein then drove the Wildcats to first-and-goal at the OSU five yard line. The Cowboys broke up two passes in the end zone on first and second down, then forced an incomplete pass with no time remaining to seal a thrilling win.
2012: Kansas State 44, Oklahoma State 30 (Manhattan)
The second-most lopsided matchup of the series since 2003 hardly felt that way late in the fourth quarter when OSU quarterback Clint Chelf drove the Cowboys to the K-State eight yard line and OSU was looking to make it a one-score game with plenty of time to score again, but Allan Chapman picked off a pass in the end zone to preserve a Wildcat win. OSU trailed, 38-17, at halftime, but roared back behind Chelf to put a scare into an undefeated K-State squad that was angling for a national championship at the time.
2013: Oklahoma State 33, Kansas State 29 (Stillwater)
Oklahoma State forced Kansas State into committing five second-half turnovers in a game that featured eight lead-changes. K-State had two drives with the opportunity to take the lead in the last 4:13 of the game, but interceptions by Shaun Lewis and Daytawion Lowe slammed the door on the Wildcats. Kicker Ben Grogan connected on four field goals in the game - three in the second half - to help lift the Cowboys to victory.
2015: Oklahoma State 36, Kansas State 34 (Stillwater)
After the Wildcats built a 28-13 lead late in the second quarter, the Cowboys rallied to take a 33-28 lead on quarterback Mason Rudolph's 3-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Sheperd with 6:06 to go. The Wildcats responded with a 94-yard drive capped by a Joe Hubener 8-yard touchdown run to take a 34-33 advantage with 3:01 left, but Ben Grogan made a 37-yard field goal with 32 seconds remaining to lift No. 20 Oklahoma State to the narrow victory.Â
