Although the season could be considered a little bit of a letdown at 5-6 and 3-5 in the Big XII (what we wouldn’t give to experience a record like that now!), one game and one half in particular gave KU almost an entire season’s worth of highlights.
Oklahoma traveled to Lawrence in the fall of 1997 and needless to say, that OU team was nothing like the ones that have come to town in the last decade and a half.
After being down 10-3 at the half, the KU defense got a stop. Kansas City product Tony Blevins then ran back an Oklahoma punt 56 yards for a Kansas score and a tie game.
