At least four of K-State's six time-outs could be partially attributed to the crowd's noise.
"The crowd did cause confusion on the line," said K-State junior running back Darren Sproles. "You couldn't really hear anything."
Kansas used this to its advantage, and the Wildcats had no time-outs left to take when the Jayhawks ran the clock down on their final possession after recovering the K-State onside kick attempt. The three-point victory was Kansas' first over K-State in its last 12 tries.
"It's unreal." said senior kicker Johnny Beck. "It was the greatest game I've ever seen here. The fans were great; I think that played the biggest role in the game."
After the game, fans, players
and coaches all took a couple minutes to take in the atmosphere of Memorial Stadium. Junior linebacker Nick Reid even spent 10 to 20 minutes signing autographs for fans young and old. Randle said the victory was an important success for the players.
"It means a lot to us, especially some of the older guys," Randle said.
Beck summed up the feelings of many of the Kansas players who had watched Kansas State come out and dismantle the Jayhawks for many years.
"This is my last game against KState." Beck said. "There's no better way to go out than to feel like you contributed to the game."
As for Mangino, who makes an extra $5,000 from this game, he was looking forward to a quiet night with his family.

The official attendance of 50,152 is the biggest Kansas home crowd since 50,750 watched Nebraska beat Kansas Nov. 3, 2001.
Barmann played the first three quarters before being pulled in favor of Swanson. Barmann went 10-20 with two touchdowns, while Swanson went 4-7 with one touchdown. Neither threw an interception.
In one defensive series, Kansas lost both sophomore cornerback Charles Gordon and junior cornerback The Baines to injury.
Though Gordon was able to return within a few minutes, Baines stayed out for the remainder of the game. After the game, however, Mangino indicated he didn't think Baines injury was too serious.
Gordon pulled down his third interception in two games during the first half of Saturday's game.
the first nail on the wall.
Both goal posts came down quickly after Kansas' victory. Even before the last second ticked off the clock, fans were streaming over the fences and out of the stands to get to the field. Kansas' PA. announcer warned fans not to rush the field until after time had expired.
Saturday's victory in the Sunflower Showdown gives Kansas a 62-35-5 edge over Kansas State in the series. Kansas has never lost in the series when scoring more than 23 points.

QUESTION: Quarterback spot up for grabs
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14A
Whether Swanson will start in the games ahead will not be known until Mangino has plenty of time to study tapes of the game and watch the two quarterbacks practice.
What is known, though, is that Barmann's job doesn't seem as safe as it was before.
For the first half of the season, it seemed like this year's position up for grabs would be the kicking spot.
First it was senior Johnny Beck.
Then, he was sharing with freshman Scott Webb.

just had to go out there. It's a 27-yard chip shot, and you can't get caught up in the emotions."

When it came time to kick the field goal, Webb went onto the field, only to be called back by the coaching staff.
Beck trotted onto the field and kicked it between the uprights.
"At that point, it was a 7-6 game, and I just had to go out there," Beck said. "It's a 27-yard chip shot, and you can't get caught up in the emotions."
After the game, Beck said he was excited to get the opportunity to put points on the board for the team.
"I think he's going to go with who's hot," Beck said. "I'm glad he went with me."
