The 2008 Insight Bowl was pretty great, but it was the beginning of the end if we’re being honest. This is the last bowl game that KU has played in and the next season was Mark Mangino’s last. We know where it’s gone from there, but on the last day of 2008, it still felt like KU football was something to be reckoned with.
Kansas Ring of Honor inductee Todd Reesing got the game started with aplomb. In the opening drive, and with only 11 seconds elapsed from the game clock, Reesing threw a 60-yard bomb to Dezmon Briscoe for the game’s first touchdown.
