VIEW FROM THE PRESSBOX
IT WAS OVER WHEN...
Iowa State had four straight incomplete passes and turned the ball over on downs back to the Jayhawks with a minute left to play. Kansas inexcusably had only five guys on the line for an onside kick and allowed the Cyclones to recover the ball with 1:14 to play and trailing by only two points. Luckily for Kansas, Iowa State couldn't complete a pass and get
into field goal position.
GAME TO REMEMBER:
JAKE SHARP
After barely playing in the Jayhawks last two games, Sharp took over in the second half and led the KU comeback. Sharp scored KU's first touchdown on a 67-yard catch from Todd Reesing and then took a shovel pass on the next drive for 43 yards to set up another score. Sharp accounted for 186 yards including 107 through the air on just three receptions.
GAME TO FORGET:
THE ENTIRE
IOWA STATE TEAM
After dominating every aspect of the game for the first half and jumping out to a 20-0 lead, an entirely different Iowa State team came out for the second half. The
offense all of a sudden couldn't move the ball and the defense allowed Kansas to score touchdowns on three straight drives to open the third quarter. It would have been a program changing win for Iowa State, but instead became a game to forget.
COACHES CORNER
Kansas coach Mark Mangino talking about his decision to swap sides with offensive tackles Jeremiah Hatch and Jeff Spikes for Saturday's game.
"Hatchie is progressing a little faster because he is probably a bit quicker of foot. He protects the back side a little bit better right now than Jeff Does. But Jeff is doing well. It's not so much a knock on Jeff as it is a positive about Jeremiah. It's not that Jeff is not doing well, it's just that Hatch really is progressing at a fast pace and his quick feet allow him to ete
good sets out there at the back of the quarterback."
