"I want you to know Tulsa threw the kitchen sink at those guys," Mangino said. "They had all kinds of twists, blitzes and stunts, and our kids did a really good job."
Early in the third quarter, Tulsa threatened to steal back the momentum from Kansas as Tulsa cut the deficit to 28-19 after Montiese Culton caught one of his three touchdowns of the game from quarterback Tyler Gooch.
Whittemore quickly ended any hopes of a Tulsa comeback.
"They came out in the second half with a little momentum," Whittemore said. "It was important for us to let them know we're not going to let them get back in the game."
He scampered 74 yards into the end zone on the next Kansas possession.

"You can't play cautious defense, and I think we did that a little bit in the second half," Mangino said.
Mangino exercised caution with his quarterbacks as he let Zach Dyer take over the quarterback reins in the fourth quarter while Whittemore watched from the sideline.
- Kansas kicker Johnny Beck continued his struggles Saturday night. Beck missed field goal attempts from 53, 52 and 32 yards.

5. (tie) Kansas soccer ties Nebraksa(9-29-02)
Another game against Nebraska that Kansas didn't win — a great game to watch. The Jayhawks played the No. 18 Cornuskers even through the first 66 minutes and scored the game's first goal on a shot by Caroline Smith.
With Kansas excited and inattentive, Nebraska drove down the field just 18 seconds later and tied the game.
Neither team could score in the rest of the second half or either overtime period although the Jayhawks had a great chance with three minutes remaining in the first extra period.
