This was the fifth consecutive win for Texas over Kansas State. With two field goals from Longhorn Cameron Dicker , Texas pulled ahead to win. The final score of the game was Texas 22, Kansas State 17.[ 4]
Although Texas won the game and broke a six-game losing streak (its worst since 1956), they ended the season at 5 wins and 7 losses (3-6 in the conference) and were not bowl eligible. Kansas State's regular season record concluded at 7-5 (4-5 in conference), and the Wildcats were invited to the Texas Bowl to play LSU .[ 5]
