NOTES
Tony Pierson showed some great vision while cutting up the field on a called flea-flicker and creating room for a 54-yard touchdown run. Pierson was supposed to hand the ball off to Crist, but once he saw Crist was covered, he decided to make his own play.
DELAY OF THE GAME
This was supposed to be the game that Kansas won with a heavy run attack, solid defense and great fan support. Only one of those factors showed up, and it was gone by halftime.
Verdict: Awesome
Kansas came out for warm-ups sporting its usual blue shirts, white pants uniforms. When the team went back to the locker room for final preparations, its lockers were lined with all-new black-on-black jerseys along with a white helmet featuring a Jayhawk logo. None of the players knew they were getting the new gear.
Early in the game, it seemed as though every play was under review. Yes, there were some iffy plays, but you would have thought the refs were suffering from major glaucoma. Fortunately, that phase ended quickly.
GAME BALL
Tony Pierson gets the honors this week. His 55-yard touchdown run showed his creativity, but as Weis noted, nothing showed Pierson's character quite like his hustle on a two point conversion that ISU intercepted. Pierson ran from the back of the end zone to about the Kansas 15-yard line to stop the Cyclones from scoring.
LOOKING AHEAD
The Jayhawks will take some time off with a bye this week. Kansas will return to action on December 1, in Morgantown, West Virginia, against a potent Mountaineer offense led by quarterback Geno Smith. I would guess defensive coordinator Dave Campo needs the extra time as much as anyone.
FINAL THOUGHT:
Kansas had invested so much into this game. The PR machine was churning out whatever it could to get fans in the seats, and the Jayhawks looked like they were about to turn the corner — until everything imploded. After convincing the fans to come back to games, they might not return until the Jayhawks have more than the prospect of a win. They'll need to see proof it can happen.
