The Jayhawks very nearly toppled the Texas Longhorns for the second time in four years tonight. The offense did everything it needed to, but the defense simply couldn't stop, or even slow down, the Texas offensive attack, as KU fell 50-48 in a shootout.
It seems that "get Pooka the ball in space" was near the top of the priority list for new Kansas Offensive Coordinator Brent Dearmon as he took over during the bye week. The Jayhawks did so early and often in their road loss to the Texas Longhorns. Pooka responded, hitting the 100 rushing yard mark early in the second quarter.
