Leave it to a team coached by The Mad Hatter to win a game with one of the craziest finishes in recent memory.
Here's the setup: Kansas, tied 34-34 with Texas Tech, lined up for a game-winning, 40-yard field goal with 13 seconds remaining in regulation. Kicker Liam Jones' attempt was blocked by Texas Tech's Nick McCann and recovered by Douglas Coleman III, who attempted to return it for a game-winning touchdown.
Here's where things get tricky: Coleman tried to pitch the ball back to linebacker Xavier Benson, fumbling in the process. Kansas offensive lineman Kevin Feder jumped on the ball at the Red Raiders' 14-yard line with three seconds left, giving Kansas an even shorter field goal attempt to win the game.

And so, Kansas, given an improbable second chance, lined up for another kick. This time, Jones' aim was true:

Just like Les Miles drew it up, no doubt.
