The Wildcats were favored by 11 going into the game. The game was debut of K-State's brand new West Stadium Center, a brand new press box and luxury suite building, and featuring a statue of head coach Bill Snyder, replacing the old structure built in 1993. The Bison spoiled the opening game of the Wildcats' season, which featured a pre-game ceremony of raising the 2012 Big 12 Conference Champions flag. North Dakota State, trailing 21–17 in the middle of the fourth quarter, made an eight-minute touchdown drive to go up by 2 points with just 28 seconds remaining. New K-State quarterback Jake Waters threw an interception on the Wildcats' first play of the possession, sealing the victory for the two-time defending FCS champions.

North Dakota State went on to finish the season undefeated with a record of 15–0[2] and won their third consecutive FCS Championship.[3]
