Was Kansas' Win over Texas the Biggest Upset Ever?

NCAA Week 11 - Walk-on fullback Jared Casey hauled in a two-point conversion pass in overtime to seal a 57-56 victory by the Kansas Jayhawks over the Texas Longhorns on Saturday night, capping the most noteworthy upset of the season in dramatic, storybook fashion. Casey's first offensive snap of his collegiate career came earlier in the day, and the game-winning play was his first career reception. It was a night of many firsts, as Kansas claimed its first Big 12 road victory in over 13 seasons, and its first victory in Austin ever. Per ESPN, Kansas had lost 100 times in 100 games since 1978 as an underdog of 24 or more points, and Texas had won 79 times in 79 games as a favorite of 24 or more points in the same span.
