A few mistakes in the second half cost Kansas State Wildcats the chance to seize the lead late, and the Texas Longhorns escaped Manhattan with a win — for the first time since 2002 — in a 19-14 contest.
But it’s pointless to dwell on the Wildcats’ failures in the second half, because the truth is that if not for a critical error in judgement the first half could have been drastically different. In short, K-State should never have been in the position of trying to stage a 19-point second-half comeback.
Alex Delton was 3-7 passing for only 14 yards, and he ate two sacks including a safety.
