"They really helped us," Kansas football coach Glen Mason said of the crowd. "I could thank everyone, and I needed them desperately."
Mason saw Kansas' home owner last season as the coach of Kent State. That game drew 33,700, almost 10,000 fever fans.

"Nothing went right," Osborne said. "It'll be the worst quarter of football I can remember since I've coached at Nebraska. I just can't explain why we played so badly early in the game. We certainly were trying hard, but we just didn't get the job done."
