KU is the Natonal Champions! In honor of the past and to complete the string (yes, I am a bit of a completionist), the final player ranking of the season. This weekend in Lawrence KU is melding the football team’s spring preview and the baskeball team’s championship parade. Taking their lead, I will meld the two together by giving my player ratings to the theme of important KU football victories since the Tom Hayes era ended.
5 Stars: KU 24, Virginia Tech 21 (2008)
The pinnacle of football victories in the post Tom Hayes era is the Orange Bowl victory over the Hokies.
