Colorado Buffaloes defeat Kansas State 27-24 in overtime

The Colorado Buffaloes snapped a five-game losing streak with a 27-24 overtime victory against the Kansas State Wildcats in Boulder, Colorado. The win marks Colorado’s first Big 12 victory of the season, moving their conference record to 1-4.

In overtime, Colorado quarterback Isaac Wilson threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to tight end Charlie Williams to secure the win. This followed a dramatic regulation finish where Kansas State quarterback Blake Barnett connected with Garrett Oakley for a touchdown with seconds remaining, forcing the extra period. Kansas State head coach Collin Klein opted to kick a field goal rather than attempt a two-point conversion after a Colorado timeout altered the defensive alignment.

Colorado’s offense was led by running back Richard Young, who recorded a career-high 120 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, linebacker Gideon Lampron recorded 15 tackles, four tackles for loss, and two sacks. For the Wildcats, Blake Barnett completed 18 of 28 passes for 224 yards and three touchdowns.
