In the days leading up to the Kansas State-Texas game, Texas football quarterback Sam Ehlinger was named a semifinalist for the 2019 Wuerffel Trophy.^[6] On that same day, the College Football Playoff committee ranked Kansas State at #16 in the first playoff ranking of the season. This was measurably higher than the #20 in the AP Poll and #22 in the USA Today Poll.^[7]

The game started with Kansas State taking a 14-point lead in the first quarter and allowed Texas to score a touchdown, making it 14–7 at halftime. Texas took the lead in the third quarter with ten more points to put it at 14–17. Each team added 10 more points in the fourth quarter to make the final score a Texas win 27–24, punctuated with a 26 yard game-winning field goal by the Longhorns' Cameron Dicker just as the clock ran out.^[8]
