Well, that momentum was short-lived.
Coming off an upset home victory over TCU last week, the Kansas football team no-showed the encore, falling 27-3 to Iowa State on Saturday afternoon at Booth Memorial Stadium.
The first half, if nothing else, revealed a huge difference between the two programs at the receiver position.
Hakeem Butler dominated early, breaking free for an 83-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter before posting a more impressive play the next possession. The 6-foot-6 receiver adjusted back to an underthrown deep ball from quarterback Brock Purdy, going over the helmet of KU cornerback Hasan Defense for a Randy Moss-like circus catch.
