All week, all anyone heard was how great and amazing the Kansas Jayhawks offense has been the past two weeks and that the Kansas State Wildcats defense would be lucky to keep the game close.
After close games on the road against Texas and an interesting victory over Texas Tech, the Jayhawks came into the game thinking they could, and would, win.
Les Miles opened his big mouth and the rest of the Jayhawks followed, even local sports talk radio got into the fact, fooled by the shiny new toy that was the Jayhawks not embarrassing the very game they purported to participate.
