For the first time in a long time, the Kansas Jayhawk football team gave its fans - all five of them - a reason to watch their game deep into the fourth quarter despite playing a ranked team on the road.
The game plan actually went perfectly to start. KU controlled possession for all but 1:54 of the first quarter. The Jayhawks led 3-0 early, then 9-7 at the end of the first quarter. And although they went into halftime trailing by 13, the ‘Hawks would close to within 6 early in the third quarter. However, despite three drives after that that each covered 45+ yards, KU would turn the ball over on downs on those final three possessions of the game.
