Kansas and Nebraska closed out their long and storied history (for now) tonight with the Jayhawks on the losing end, 20-3. Sometimes the score doesn't represent how close the game actually was. That's true tonight because there was no way the offense Kansas put on the field all night was scoring 20 points. As a matter of fact, the offense only gained 87 yards all night on offense. Think about that for a second. The play-calling was as predictable as it has been all year, if not worse. The sun might have set on Quinn Mecham's ride.
Considering that fact, we have to be impressed with the defense only allowing 20 points even with a slowed down Taylor Martinez. However, the Cornhuskers did gain a total of 397 yards. The Corn gained 230 on the ground behind 85 yards for Roy Helu and 77 yards for Rex Burkhead. For Kansas, Toben Opurum's name was mentioned often on the radio broadcast, giving Jayhawk fans some hope for the future. On offense, there isn't anything to say.
Statistical Oddity of the Night: According to ESPN, Rojas had 9 punts. Nebraska had zero punt returns. No way that's accurate, is it?

No quit in the team
Team is overmatched, and they still went and fought. Couldn’t say that about the first three big 12 games.
I’m still not sold on Gill, but with the competitive game on the road against ISU, home win and comeback against CU, and at least fighting Nebraska… at least we are looking more competitive. It looks like guys are starting to buy in a little more.
Season is over, but we kinda made some strides and can still improve. Next year, at the very least, will be interesting…I think.
Until then, I got a fat koolaid stash…bring on the pokes.
Shit happens when you win championships
Bowl chances are definitely over
but the season definitely isn’t either.
We still get a shot at spoiling tigger party.
And after the last 3 weeks,
I’m feeling a lot better about than game than before. Not feeling good about it but better.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.

proud of the team's fight
if they can go from hot garbage to half decent this year, maybe they can go from half decent to pretty good next year.
Also, I think we may have a shot against Mizzou this year.

A lot more talent on last year's team

that team also very clearly quit on the coaches

True, but 2 weeks ago we all assumed this team had quit on everyone.

Also true.
Not convinced the fight’s going to be there the rest of the year now. Coaching staff has a hell of a job on their hands because we’re not the only ones that realize the offensive game plan wasn’t designed to win the game this week.

psssshhhhh
Gonna take a lot more than that.
Grad started shooting it up. You may want to freebase.

nah
Mainlining is the only way to go. It’s the only reason I stayed after the third quarter of the Colorado game.
KU - mu
Regardless of the talent of this year’s team or last year’s team or any other team, there have been plenty of times when the experts (especially the ones to the east) have given us no chance against the “superior” talent of the tiggers – What was Brad’s last name?
There have also been plenty of times (50%) when KU has come out on top.
Glad to see that the team hasn’t quit as much as some fans.
A lot more positive
Takeaways from this one than I expected. multiple things went into the bad offensive
game…but the confidence in some areas seems to be building. The defense was definitely frustrating pelini and the nebraska fans. Much more to come tonight or monday.

For anyone interested
It looks as though Fox Sports Midwest will be replaying the game tonight at 11:00. I’m interested to watch the defense, specifically Opurum.
Thanks - just got power back on after it went off Sat around 10 AM
First game I at least didn’t get to listen to this year. Not sure if I live in a third world or MN, maybe the same place. Youd think they would know how to handle a little snow in friggin MN.
That was the most boring game I've watched all season long...
I will not be rewatching that game, but I will say good job to KU for fighting like hell to keep it close. If KU could have mustered up the slightest amount of offense, it may have been a close one.
