GLASS HALF FULL
Kansas clawed back from a 10-point leficit in the fourth quarter, kicked a ying field goal and stopped Tech from winning on a field goal much like Texas did in Lawrence two weeks ago. It was the first time Kansas played tough for 60 minutes all season.

Passing is still nonexistent for the offense, but it seems like Kansas coach Charlie Weis has come to terms with that. The problem is when you face a prolific passing attack and give up 501 yards to it.
NOTES
GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN
STUPID
On the first play of the second quarter, TTU quarterback Seth Doege fired a pass to the left corner of the end zone straight to Tyson Williams.
FOOTBALL
It was a terrible decision by Doege. Williams was completely covered by Kansas' Tyler Patmon, except Patmon never turned to see the ball, and it glided straight into Williams' hands.
Verdict: Bad
DELAY OF THE GAME
A few long, official reviews in the fourth quarter and overtimes broke the rhythm of the game, but kudos to the zebras for getting the calls right.
This week is a tie. Not only did running back James Sims set a Kansas school record with his sixth straight hundred-yard performance and score two touchdowns, but Tony Pierson also rushed for 202 yards on 16 carries. Collectively, the tandem put Kansas on its backs.
GAME BALL
LOOKING AHEAD
Kansas will play its final home game of the regular season on Senior Night this Saturday. It also could be the Jayhawks' best chance to notch another win this season. Kansas hasn't given up more than 25 points at home, and Iowa State averages just 22.
FINAL THOUGHT:
Given that it was on the road, you have to rank this game as the best — if not top two — performances from Kansas this season. Seeing what James Sims and Tony Pierson can do when they're both at 100 percent is a scary scene. Everyone knew Kansas was going to run, and there was still nothing anyone could do.
