It didn't get any easier. Oklahoma's defense teed off on Luke, handing him a beating that would have made injury-prone former Kansas quarterback Bill Whittimore blush.
Nevertheless, the Jayhawks couldn't run the ball, which made passing too obvious.
Despite battling exhaustion, the blue collar unit of throwbacks, led by Nick Reid, Kevin Kane and Banks Floodman — just to name a few — stuffed an Oklahoma running back yet again.
The stop gave the offense another opportunity with a little more than a minute to get something going.
Not only did that let Mangino down, but yet again it let down one of the best defenses in the country

them the standing ovation it deserved.
But other than that, fans have been quick to jump all over Mangino, blaming him for the team's offensive troubles. Funny how things change.
Remember two years ago? Back then, everybody praised Mangino for an offense that put up points at will.
The only problem was that the defense was giving up points at the same rate.
Mangino was criticized for not being able to get both sides on the same page.
This season, which had so much promise, is now at a crossroads and could go either way now, for better or worse. It's time for the offense players to earn their keep.
Now the roles have reversed,

pass. The pass was Luke's third interception of the game.
"I'm definitely my biggest critic." Luke said. "I definitely want to take some responsibility in our offensive performance but it is a team game."
The two teams combined for seven turnovers, but the offenses, specifically Kansas,' were not able to capitalize on the mistakes.
Luke finished 11-for-30 for 86 yards, with three interceptions and a fumble.

The Kansas volleyball team dropped a three-game match to No. 7 Missouri on Saturday night in Columbia, Mo., for its third consecutive loss.
The Jayhawks were plagued by errors all night. They finished the match with a lowly .085 attack percentage. The Tigers, on the other hand, efficiently ended a two-match losing streak. They hit .351 in the three games.
Kansas returns to action at 7 p.m. on Wednesday night when it takes on Iowa State at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he was impressed with Missouri but thought his team hurt itself more than anything.
"We just couldn't make the adjustments we needed to make," he said. "We were inconsistent, and you can't afford to make as many mistakes as we did in this league."
With the victory, Missouri improved to 13-2 overall and 7-2 in conference play. Kansas dropped to 12-6 overall and 4-5 in the Big 12 Conference. The Tigers lead the Border Showdown 1.5-0 as well. The Tigers have held the trophy since they won the competition between the two schools last year.
halfway mark. A key 6-0 run gave momentum back to the Tigers en route to a 30-23 victory. They were aided by nine Jayhawk errors.
Game two saw improvement from the Jayhawks, but it was not enough. Kansas hit .257, but Missouri countered with 15 kills and only three errors. The Tigers scored eight of the last nine points to win the game 30-21.
The match started off poorly for the Jayhawks. They fell behind 4-1 but rallied to tie the game and keep it close until the
Trailing early in the final game, the Tigers charged back with six straight points to regain control of the match. A seven-point run later in the frame put
plenty of distance between the two teams, and Missouri easily won 30-11.
Junior middle blocker Nicole Wilson paced Missouri with 13 kills. Defensively, the Tigers were led by sophomore libero Tatum Ailes. Her 16 digs led all players.
Senior middle blocker Josi Lima goes up for a spike during a game against Nebraska Oct. 8 at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks traveled to Missouri on Saturday and lost against the seventh-ranked Tigers, dropping their record to 4-5 in the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas senior outside hitter Paula Caten finished the match with 14 kills and nine digs. Junior libero Jamie Mathewson added 12 digs for the lawhaws.
Nearly at the halfway point in the conference schedule, the Jayhawks are struggling to find a
Kaiden me ponds solution to their recent woes. They have not won since junior outside hitter Jana Correa went down with a knee injury at the Kansas State game, but the three losses have all been against top 25 opponents. Bechard said fixing their problems was a matter of time.
"We just need to find a good balance on offense and defense," he said. "It's a challenge with every team to find a good, consistent level of play throughout matches."
