Colorado beat Kansas State 27-24 in overtime on October 31 at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado, snapping a five-game losing streak and earning its first Big 12 win of the season before a crowd of 46,325. Colorado fans stormed the field after the walk-off score.

Kansas State, playing a second straight game without starting quarterback Avery Johnson, turned to backup Blake Barnett with 55 seconds left in regulation and his team trailing by seven. Barnett completed passes of 23 and 31 yards and tied the game with an 8-yard touchdown pass to tight end Garrett Oakley with two seconds remaining. Head coach Collin Klein initially kept his offense on the field for a two-point try, but after a Colorado timeout Kansas State kicked the extra point to force overtime at 21-21.
In overtime, Kansas State stalled at the Colorado 7 and settled for a 25-yard field goal by Luis Rodriguez and a 24-21 lead. Colorado then ran four straight times before Wilson hit tight end Charlie Williams on an 11-yard touchdown pass on third-and-9 to win the game, Williams' second game-winning touchdown of the year.
Colorado improved to 3-5 overall and 1-4 in the Big 12; Kansas State fell to 4-4 and 1-4. The result and key sequences were cross-checked against Kansas State Athletics' official game report, NCAA.com's live coverage and multiple U.S. outlets.
