"You can't say anything more about our special teams tonight," junior quarterback Bill Whittemore said. "They kept us going. The offense stumbled a couple times, the defense stumbled a couple of times, but the special teams were solid throughout."
Whittemore, making his second start of the season, completed 10-of-18 pass attempts for 112 yards. He also rushed for 55 yards, including two carries that found the end zone.

"We run plays that suit his talents," Mangino said. "We got into some run schemes that would utilize his ability, which is hard, downhill running."
Southwest Missouri State (2-1) stayed close through much of the game and was down only three near the end of the third quarter, after a Whittimore inter

But Kansas struck back immediately. After Heaggans returned another kick 52 yards, KU used four runs and a penalty to set up a 9-yard touchdown run by Green before time ran out in the third.

Inside the stadium, fans could not shake the feeling of impending doom. As time passed, students became quiet.
"Is this not the student section?" said John Allen, Overland Park senior. "Why is everyone sitting down?"
"There's a lot of KU students here but no one is really cheering," he said. "It's kind of boring."
Brian Devine, Laramie Wyo., freshman, was disappointed by the students' efforts to support the team.
Morale picked up in the third quarter. Students jumped to their feet after Glenn Robin

Some students stuck around longer than they had at past games.
"I've never stayed for the fourth quarter before," said Beau Jackson, Los Angeles senior.
Kansas beat Southwest Missouri State 44-24, and students greeted the team with applause at the bottom of the student section. Students pledged to be back — win or lose — to support the team.
"One and two," said Jackson. "That's a decent start. This could be the beginning of a beautiful season."
