**BEST SIGN**
"Insert ad here" on one of the backs of the smiles, blue dudes. Those kids might not please the senses but we all applaud their dedication.
Best one-liner
"If they sold Kyle Tucker's jersey, I would definitely buy one."
Cheers
Brandon Perkins and the defense. Perkins' five sacks and the hits supplied by the defense and special teams had fans forgetting the first two games and reminiscing about last year.

Poor fan etiquette
The guy who wore the David Padgett jersey. First of all, don't wear basketball jerseys to football games. Secondly, don't wear a David Padgett jersey within a 400-mile radius of Lawrence.

Senior quarterback Brian Luke passed for only 60 yards in the first half and the offense had just 73 total yards as the teams went into the half tied at seven.
Luke threw his third interception of his career in the first quarter. Luke, however, led a more productive offense in the second half, as he passed for 176 yards.
"We knew that if we just stayed with our game play and just kept at it we would be fine." Mangino said. "We just went out and executed the way that we should in the second half."
Luke connected with senior wide receiver Mark Simmons six times for 106 yards. Simmons was a force in moving the offense in the second half.
"I told our wide receivers that this game was going to be on our shoulders and that we would have to come out and make
some big plays," Simmons said. "I'm one of our senior leaders, and I knew we would have to make the big plays."
Simmons' catches helped the Jayhawks move down the field and ultimately in the end zone. The Jayhawks were a perfect five for five in the red zone.
zone.
“Mark is a veteran guy who has a lot of talent,” Mangino said. “We are counting on him to have a big year and for our offense to be successful.”
The Jayhawks scored first in the second half as Luke scored on a four-yard touchdown pass to give the Jayhawks a 14-7 lead. The Jayhawks then rattled off 14 more points to take a 28-7 lead and put the game out of reach with 12 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
Luke scored his third touchdown of the evening with a six-yard pass to junior wide receiver Brian Murph in the right corner of the end zone. The touchdown was Murph's first of his career
and Luke's three touchdowns were the most in his career.

Seeing Red
Seeing New
The Jayhawks broke out the new red uniforms for Saturday's contest. It was the first time since the 1947 season that the Jayhawks wore red uniforms.
Is the coin rigged?
Fine catch
The Jayhawks won the coin toss for the third consecutive week and again chose to receive in the second half.

Senior wide receiver Mark Simmons' 106 receiving yards moved him into fifth place on Kansas' all-time receiving list. Simmons also caught a pass in his 27th competition game.
Steady Mark
Say What?
"If you want me to tell you that there was a strategy, I'll tell you what the strategy was. Thursday morning I called the equipment guy and said 'Put the red jerseys in the locker room, we are going to wear them Saturday.'" Mangino said when talking about why the team wore the new red jerseys against Louisiana Tech.
