KU football media guide
Kansas is playing in the Orange Bowl for the third time. In 1948 Kansas lost 20-14 to Georgia Tech, and in 1969 Kansas lost 15-14 to Penn State.
sports trivia of the day
Q: Kansas lost both Orange Bowls it has played in, but came very close to winning both. How did Kansas lose each game?
A> In 1948, quarterback Lynne McNutt fumbled the ball two feet from the goal line in the final minutes instead of scoring to take the lead. In 1969, Kansas had apparently won the game with a broken-up two-point conversion but was called for 12 men on the field, giving Penn State another try, which it converted.

Denver running back Hall plans to return to practice
That's good enough for him. Hall plans to return to practice this week in hopes of playing
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Broncs running back Andre Hall can walk on his sprained ankle without pain or a limp.
Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Hall suffered a high ankle sprain on the first play against Chicago but played on, gaining 98 vards and scoring a touchdown.
"I'm feeling pretty good. I'm going to give it a go," he said.
However, Hall hobbled around on the gimpy ankle all last week and was inactive for Denver's 34-20 loss to Oakland on Sunday.
The Broncos could certainly use even a quasi-healthy Hall. Denver was thin at running back against the Raiders after Selvin Young left the game with a bruised arm.
Denver was forced to give more carries to Travis Henry, who was back after missing three games with a torn ligament in his left knee.
