The 12th annual Cowboys Classic kicked off in Dallas between KSU and the Stanford Cardinal. On their opening possession, Stanford moved down the field, only to try and miss a FG attempt. They were later able to make another attempt after KSU lost yards and punted the ball. On their second possession, KSU tied the game at 3-3 on a career-long Jeremy Irby 49-yard FG. In the second quarter, KSU was able to move down the field and scored on a short throw from QB Duke McGraw to WR Vernon Miller. Both teams fumbled later in the quarter, first by McGraw on a QB scramble and later by Stanford on the 1 yard line, forced by senior S Demontez Carlton and recovered in the endzone junior CB Ricky Evans. Both teams traded punts in the third quarter before Stanford moved down the field and tossed a 33-yard TD pass, tying the game at 10 apiece. KSU punted the ball away to end the quarter. On Stanford's ensuing fourth quarter possession, the QB's pass was picked off by Evans. After moving into Stanford territory, McGraw tossed a short screen to senior WR Brian Carptenter, who took it all the way to the endzone with 7:26 remaining. Stanford tok the next possesion down the field, scoring on a short run with 5:19 left in the game. KSU was able to retaliate, putting up an Irby 47-yard FG to retake the lead with 3:21 remaining. Stanford was able to tie it up with a FG with 40 seconds left. The next KSU possession ended with a McGraw scramble and fumble to end regulation.
