For the second time in as many years, Oklahoma State scored in the final two minutes to knock off Kansas State.
Chris Carson's 17-yard touchdown run with 1:46 left gave the No. 18 Cowboys a 43-37 victory over K-State in front of 52,450 fans on Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
Kansas State's final drive got to the Cowboys 3-yard line, but the Wildcats couldn't punch it in.
Mason Rudolph completed 29 of 38 passes for 457 yards and five touchdowns for Oklahoma State (7-2, 5-1 in the Big 12).
Jess Ertz rushed for a career-high 153 yards and three touchdowns for K-State (5-4, 3-3).
Kansas State took advantage of the second of three second-half turnovers.
Barry Sanders Jr. fumbled a punt and the Wildcats recovered at the Oklahoma State 39. A fake field goal yielded nothing, but on the second play, Rudolph overthrew James Washington. Duke Shelley picked it off at the 29 and rambled through traffic to the end zone.
It was the 105th non-offensive touchdown for the Wildcats since 1999, most in the nation by a sizable margin.
Oklahoma State's offense stalled just past midfield, and Zach Sinor's punt was deflected. Kansas State took over at its 38-yard line. Six plays later -- five of them runs -- Ertz ran it in from the 2-yard line and Wildcats had a 30-21 lead.
The Cowboys answered with a 75-yard drive that took less than two minutes, capped by a 34-yard pass from Rudolph to Austin Hayes. The third quarter ended with K-State holding a 30-28 edge.
Kansas State answered once again, as Ertz bulled his way for the final yard, his third rushing touchdown of the game, and the Wildcats led 37-28.
On the ensuing drive, Rudolph lofted a pass to Jhajuan Seales, but D.J. Reed picked it off at the K-State 32. The Wildcats used 3:11 and then pinned the Cowboys at their own 8-yard line. After a 10-yard gain, Rudolph hit Washington in stride for an 82-yard touchdown pass play to get the Cowboys within two points.
A three-and-out gave Oklahoma State the ball on their 20 with 5:35 remaining. An 80-yard drive that used nearly four minutes gave the Cowboys the winning score on Carson's run.
K-State opened a 13-lead in the first half, but saw the Cowboys answer quickly. The Wildcats' first drive consisted of 11 runs and no passes.
The Wildcats extended the lead to 13-0 with a six-play, 63-yard drive, capped by a 10-yard run by Winston Dimel.
But the momentum was short-lived.
Oklahoma State cut the lead to 13-7 on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Rudolph to Jalen McClesey. After a K-State punt, the up-tempo Cowboys' offense went 80 yards on five plays, capped by a 54-yard scoring pass from Rudolph to wide-open tight end Blake Jarwin.
Following a K-State field goal, Oklahoma State answered again.
Rudolph connected with James Washington in the back of the end zone to cap a nine-play, 75-yard drive that took only 3:35 and gave Oklahoma State a 21-16 lead.
NOTES: Kansas State wore an alternative look for only the second time since Bill Snyder took over as head coach before the 1989 season. The only other time was on Fort Riley Day in 2013, when the PowerCat symbol on the helmets was in camouflage. The Wildcats' helmets were camouflaged white instead of the traditional silver base. They also wore white shoes, instead of the traditional black. Saturday was Fort Riley Day at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Fort Riley is a large Army base 20 miles west of the stadium. ... Oklahoma State came into the game with a 38-24 lead in the series, but the teams had had split their previous 12 games in the Big 12. The home team had won 10 of the 12 games, including the last five heading, before Saturday.
