Kansas loses heartbreaker at Colorado
Jayhawks now 5-1 after being knocked off by Buffaloes
The Jayhawks came back from a 21-point deficit to take a 30-27 lead in the fourth quarter, but couldn't hold on to beat the Colorado Buffaloes last Saturday in Boulder, Colo. Colorado scored with 8:36 left in the game to take a 34-20 lead and held on for the win.
Quarterback Todd Reesing completed 30 passes for 401 yards, but it was not enough to beat the Buffalooes. Reesing turned the ball over twice in the first half, once on a fumble and once on an interception. Receiver Dezmon Briscoe was Reesing's biggest weapon for the game, catching eight passes for 154 yards.
Receiver Kerry Meier gained 103 yards by catching 11 passes and Jonathan Wilson had six receptions for 65 yards. Jake Sharp, senior running back, returned to the field after missing some time with an injury. Sharp picked up 29 yards on 13 carries.
The Jayhawks finished with 423 yards and held the Buffaloes to 322 yards for the game. However, turnovers were costly and Colorado capitalized on several Kansas miscues. Colorado finished the game with 147 yards rushing while Kansas finished with-8 yards on the ground.
The loss moved the Jayhawks to 5-1 for the season and 1-1 on the road. Kansas plays Oklahoma on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.
