It began on third down and goal to go from the 8-yard line and with six seconds remaining in the fourth quarter as Blake Barnett stood and clapped his hands in shotgun formation with Kansas State trailing Colorado 21-14 at Folsom Field. One receiver split out to the right. Two to the left. Tight end Garrett Oakley moving from right to left and then back to the right in the slot. Shortly after Barnett received the football, the Buffaloes' defensive line leaked into the pocket.

Six seconds.
