On the last drive of the game, Kansas got to Georgia Tech's 1-yard line and was looking to score, with a touchdown and an extra point being all it needed for the victory. Quarterback Lynn McNutt snuck over the goal line but lost the ball to Georgia Tech's Rollo Phillips. The play was ruled a fumble, but Kansas This year's Jayhawks have certainly lived up to the slogan, "This is what Saturdays were made for," and have possibly one of the best overall teams in the country.

Kansas lost the game 20-14. When the football team travels down to Miami, they should keep in mind what they have accomplished this year, but also realize the opportunity that lies ahead. In 1969, Kansas played No. 3 Penn State in the 35th annual Orange Bowl in front of a crowd of more than 77,700. This game went down in Kansas' football history as the "12th Game." The Jayhawks were leading the Nittany Lions 14-7 until Penn State's quarterback, Chuck Burkhart, scored a touchdown on a bootleg play, narrowing the lead to just one point. Rather than go for a tie β€” in those days there was no overtime β€” Penn State tried to go for a two-point conversion pass, which was broken up by Kansas' defenders. But Kansas was penalized for having 12 men on the field and allowed Penn State to redo the play. This time, Penn State came up big and made the two-point conversion, winning 15-14. in school history.
