GLASS HALF FULL
James Sims gained 57 yards, putting his season mark at 1013. Sims sat out the first three games of the season, but he still shattered his previous best of 742 yards, which he rushed for in his freshman season of 2010.

GLASS HALF EMPTY
Aside from one interception, Geno Smith and Tavon Austin were able to do whatever they wanted on their turf. Austin's ankle-breaking ability and Smith's arm strength were on full display.
GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN

NOTES
tripped over himself as he tried to keep up with Woods. As Brown went down, Woods nabbed a Geno Smith pass for 50 yards.
Verdict: Bad
DELAY OF THE GAME
It was Senior Day in Morgantown W. Va., and the players celebrated accordingly. Whether the pregame ritual psyched out Kansas or if WVU was planning on putting up 50 points anyway is a moot point.
GAME BALL
Senior left tackle Tanner Hawkinson set a Kansas record with his 48th consecutive start for the Jayhawks. He has been a force on the offensive line since
joining Kansas and will most certainly be missed next year.
FINAL THOUGHT:
As much progress as this Kansas team made this year — and yes, the Jayhawks were better than their record shows — there is still much more to go. Anyone who didn't think this program's turnaround was going to be a process needs to realize the amount of talent and competitive teams in the Big 12. But the only thing that can be said about the last two games Kansas played is "good job, good effort."
