Avery Johnson hit Jayce Brown for a 50-yard TD with 2:14 to go to give No. 18 Kansas State a 31-28 win over Colorado.
Johnson’s TD pass to Brown came less than a minute after Colorado took a 28-24 lead with 3:12 to go on a TD pass from Shedeur Sanders to LaJohntay Wester. The Wildcats got to midfield after Colorado failed to cover RB DJ Giddens out of the backfield on a swing pass, and then Johnson found Brown on the very next play.
Colorado had a chance for a game-tying or go-ahead drive after Johnson’s TD pass, but the Buffaloes failed to get a first down. Sanders went deep to Will Sheppard on fourth down and the pass sailed out of bounds.
