Chris Tennant's 51-yard FG powers No. 16 Kansas State past Kansas

Chris Tennant capped his career with a 51-yard field goal in the final two minutes to help No. 16 Kansas State to a 29-27 victory over rival Kansas on Saturday in Manhattan, Kansas.

K-State extended its winning streak over Kansas to 16 games.

Avery Johnson was 19 of 34 for 253 yards and two touchdowns for the Wildcats (7-1, 4-1 Big 12). Johnson also scored a rushing touchdown.

K-State opened the second half with a quick scoring drive, capped by Johnson's 10-yard run. The big play on the drive was a 54-yard run by DJ Giddens.

Kansas (2-6, 1-4) responded with Devin Neal's 24-yard rushing touchdown. The extra point attempt hit the post, making it 23:20. Neal's touchdown was the 44th of his career, making him the all-time TD leader in Kansas history.

Jalon Daniels then gave Kansas a 27-23 lead with an 8-yard touchdown run up the middle with 36 seconds left in the third quarter.

Kansas State got within 27-26 early in the fourth quarter after a 28-yard field goal by Tennant.

With just over four minutes remaining, Kansas State went on fourth-and-12 from the Kansas 42. An incomplete pass returned the ball to the Jayhawks. But Daniels fumbled and K-State got the ball at the KU 48 with 3:44 left. The Wildcats' drive lasted 2:02 and ended with Tennant's 51-yard field goal with 1:42 left.

Daniels' rush on fourth down with a minute left was short and the Wildcats held on.

Kansas opened the scoring with an 11-play, 75-yard drive on its first possession. Sevion Morrison bounced around right end and scored a 38-yard touchdown to cap the drive.

K-State responded with a 13-play, 95-yard drive. Johnson hit tight end Will Anciaux with a 24-yard touchdown pass.

On the ensuing kickoff, Kansas returner Jameel Croft Jr. caught the ball at his own 1-yard line before leaving the field. On the next play, Neal was stopped in the backfield for safety reasons. On the next drive, Johnson found another tight end, Garrett Oakley, who scored a 2-yard touchdown on a jump pass to make the lead 16-7.

Kansas responded with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Daniels to Luke Grimm to cap a 75-yard drive. When Daniels threw an interception in the end zone, the Jayhawks appeared to be hoping for a go-ahead late in the first half.
