The game was over when… The Kansas defense held Nebraska to two straight three-and-outs in the third quarter. Until the middle of the third quarter, the game had been an offensive free-for-all. Nebraska scored on its first possession of the second half to pull within 17 points, but Kansas stopped the team dead in their tracks on its next two possessions. During this stretch, Kansas opened up a 69-31 lead.

Game to remember… Todd Reesing. The Kansas sophomore quarterback put together an unreal stat line against Nebraska. He set a single-game school record with six passing touchdowns, threw for 354 yards and displayed pinpoint accuracy by completing 77.5 percent of his passes. Don’t be surprised if his name is mentioned in the Heisman talk in the coming weeks.

Game to forget… Nebraska defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove. Saturday afternoon was as painful for Cosgrove as it was pleasant for Reesing and the Jayhawks. With the coaching staff’s job security already in question and the Nebraska defense last in the nation in run defense, a 76-39 drubbing was not the sort of boost Cosgrove’s career needed.

Stat of the game… 10. At one point, Kansas put together 10 consecutive touchdown drives. After punting on the first possession of the game, the Jayhawks scored a touchdown on every single drive until a missed field goal late in the third quarter. Five minutes after the missed field goal, Kansas scored again for its 11th touchdown in 13 drives.
