FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN BOTTOM: Campus police captain James Anguiano braces himself as hundreds of students rush the south goal post on Kiwiisto Field. The goal post was taken down after Kansas defeated Iowa State 34-14, marking the first Big 12 win of the season and Clint Bowen's first win as interim head coach.

came right out."
Iowa State's offense would threaten to score on multiple occasions the rest of the way, but the Cyclones couldn't score any more points.
The win was Kansas' first against Iowa State since 2009.
Although its chances are slim-to-none, with the win,
Kansas remains in contention for bowl eligibility. After senior day Saturday against No. 6 TCU, Kansas makes road trips to No.15 Oklahoma and No.7 Kansas State to close out the season. The Jayhawks must win all three games to qualify.
Mangino's return
2009: A pivotal year in
Kansas football history.
That faithful season was highlighted by a 41-36 victory against the Cyclones, back when Mark Mangino was on the sidelines coaching the No. 16 Jayhawks. This time, in the 34-14 victory, Mangino was again calling plays in Lawrence — only in a different capacity.
Hired this past January as the Cyclones' offensive coordinator, Mangino made his return trip to Kansas
since being forced to resign as head coach. After a player- abuse investigation spurred by several players, a 5-0 start turned into seven straight losses. Since the Iowa State victory in 2009, Kansas has gone just 11-52.
Those were the days when "Mark Mangino" chants rang throughout a joyous Memorial Stadium, and he refused to take a Gatorade bath following
big wins.
Five years later, it was his eight-year understudy, Clint Bowen, hearing his name chanted by a delighted student section. This time, though, Bowen accepted the sticky bath with open arms — his first victory as interim head coach.
"(Mangino's) message was just congratulations," Bowen said of the post-game
embrace. "I truly appreciate everything he's always done for me for a long time, personally, professionally. There's so many things I've done in the last four weeks that I learned from coach Mangino. The guy is a tireless worker, put his heart and soul in this program, and I think anyone that's a Kansas fan should appreciate that."
