Each team scored touchdowns on the their first two possessions of overtime before going to the 2-point conversion process to determine a winner. The Hogs converted their attempt, but denied the Jayhawks on their possession to get the win. 

KJ Jefferson threw from 287 yards and a pair of touchdowns while gaining 120 yards on the ground and adding a pair of scores in the win.
