Kansas State quarterback Will Howard (15) passes to a teammate during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Oklahoma State in Manhattan, Kan., Saturday, Nov. 7, 2020. “With all the adversity we faced, all the guys out, we just found a way," Oklahoma State linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga said. “You're a true freshman,” Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said, “and some of those things are going to happen, but you know what? After six first-half punts, Oklahoma State finally got on the board with a field goal. Kansas State was marching for the go-ahead score when Howard had the ball punched out by Israel Antwine and right into Taylor's waiting hands.

It was Kansas State's first-ever road win against a top-three team in the AP poll. Kansas State upset Oklahoma 48-41 in Manhattan, Kansas, last year. Kansas State said earlier in the week it was struggling to have enough players available at all position groups to play the game because of COVID-19. Kansas State's Jahron McPherson intercepted Rattler in the final minute to help close out the win.
