Kansas basketball is beginning but we Jayhawks fans aren't done watching football yet! What has the world come to?
Kansas beat Nebraska like, well… a red-headed stepchild. Kansas scored a touchdown on 11 out of 12 possessions at one point, scoring the most points against a conference opponent ever and the most points allowed by a Nebraska defense ever. KU's quarterback went 30 of 41 for 354 yards and a school record six touchdown passes. Kansas had 34 first downs and no turnovers. One of KU's running backs had four touchdowns and 155 yards.
The final score was 76-39, bringing KU to 9-0 for the first time since 1908. It's only the second time in 34 years that KU entered the Nebraska game with a better record and the second time in over 50 years that KU was ranked when Nebraska wasn't. For thirty years the average score of the Kansas-Nebraska football game was 47-7 Nebraska. Now however, Kansas is the only school in the nation to be ranked in the top-10 in both football (8th before today) and basketball (4th).
What a unique time to be a Jayhawk!
