Next Saturday we play a team that scored 35 points in the fourth quarter to beat Colorado

Worst day as a Buff still better than the best day as a Husker, Hawkins?

 

Anyway, Kansas.

This is a prime example that you need to show up on every single play of the game, otherwise you will lose.

[irafreak]

Yeah who knows about this one. We're one more poor performance away from handing missouri the north

I would think Hawkins might get fired while he is on the airplane back to Boulder... not really.

Next Saturday we play a team that scored 42 points in the fourth quarter to beat Colorado

 

On the other hand, next week we play the team that only beat CU by 7 points.

...and it was only 35 points in the 4th qtr, not 42. We have hope.

honestly i dont see us losing another game until our bowl. the only chance for a let down was today. next week we get taylor back, and they are unbelievably overmatched. aTm needs no motivation, going to the 12th man will be motivation enough. Colorado will be our "finish" game that texas was not.

 

We will come to play against OSU/OU in the big XII champ.

 

i honestly see us only having one loss at seasons end

Kansas runs off 35 straight in fourth to stun Colorado

Associated Press

 

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Kansas is used to great comebacks.

 

Take the 2008 NCAA basketball title game in which the Jayhawks rallied from nine points down in the final two minutes to beat Memphis in overtime.

 

But in football? Simple victories have been scarce, much less miracle comebacks.

 

That changed Saturday when the Jayhawks scored 35 unanswered points in the final 11:05 and overcame a 28-point deficit to beat Colorado 52-45. It was the greatest comeback in Kansas history.

 

"I'm still in shock," said Johnathan Wilson, who caught a 38-yard touchdown pass with 9:26 left to cut the Buffaloes' lead to 14 points after Kansas recovered an onside kick. "The Colorado guys were talking trash to us ... and I really had no response. All of a sudden we started making plays and playing our game and they shut up real quick. As soon as I scored that touchdown, I felt like we were going to come back and win."

 

The 35 points in the fourth quarter were the most in Jayhawks history.

 

James Sims scored four touchdowns, all in the final 19 minutes, including the game-winner of 28 yards with 52 seconds left. He finished with 123 yards on 20 carries.

 

"I don't want to have to be in that situation again, having to come back like that," Sims said. "We figured once we got the onside kick and brought it down and scored and the defense got that pick, we felt like we were in the game."

 

Linebacker Steven Johnson said first-year Kansas coach Turner Gill had a prophetic message at halftime with the Buffaloes up 35-10.

 

"He said, 'You all need to come out here and get ready for the best comeback ever,'" Johnson said.

 

After Wilson's TD reception, Kansas cornerback Tyler Patmon spearheaded the next two touchdowns. He returned a fumble 28 yards for a touchdown with 7:12 left to trim the lead to 45-38. Patmon intercepted a Cody Hawkins pass with 6:29 left, which set up the tying touchdown, Sims' 6-yard run with 4:30 left.

 

After Sims' go-ahead touchdown, the Buffaloes drove to the Kansas 7 in the final seconds. But two Hawkins passes into the end zone were incomplete.

"The Colorado guys were talking trash to us...."

 

That doesn't sound like Colorado at all!

[sd'sker]

i love it, hawkins really challenges himself to lose games, but he still manages to do it.

[huskerscott]

It still baffles me that KU scored 35 points in about 11min of game clock. The entire CU staff should be left in Lawrence and forced to hitch hike back to Boulder, that is freakin pathetic.

 

 

Congrats CU, you are now offically the worst team in Big 12. You can now get rid of Hawkins. I hear Tim Brewster and prob Kevin Cosgrove are looking for jobs.

[GI56]

No worries now since Mizzou lost tonight.
