Kansas falls to Kansas State, 21-17
It was every bit as ugly as everyone expected. This year's version of the Sunflower Showdown was a comedy of errors that neither team deserved to win.
In a mistake-filled first half, Kansas would score the first points of the game with 5:38 remaining. Gabe Rui actually hit a field goal several plays earlier, but KSU was called for running in to the kicker. KU ended up with a 4th and 1 at the 4 yard line, but of course KU's fearless leader on the sideline opted for the field goal. I mean, what are the odds those 4 points would end up making a difference, right?
