i bet it was either the 1968 or 1976 seasons. the 1968 game was played in lincoln and both teams came in undefeated and ranked. if i remember right kansas was even ranked a little higher than nebraska. i think pepper rogers was the coach at kansas then. anyway, it is my recollection that nebraska lead either at halftime or most of the first half and then KU pulled away in the second half to win 23-13. there was a big article in sports illustrated detailing the game the following week. this was the last time KU went to the orange bowl and then lost to penn-state 15-14 on a "12 man" penalty at the end of the game. i take back the 1976 game. even though it was in lawrence and at that time during the season KU ahd a good record, we were probably still favored. i remember that game being around halloween and actually listening to the game on the radio. we beat the crap out of them 31-3! those were the days!

 
I dont know the answer to this question. But does anyone know when the last time we had a 5 game loosing streak. 1961 was the last time we lost 4 in a row. We could possibly see another record set by BC and company this weekend.
