Not much was really expected from the 1995 Kansas Jayhawks. They had some talent on offense in running backs June Henley, LT Levine, and Eric Vann, and some high profile receivers in Isaac Byrd and Ashaundai Smith, but expecting this team to go 10-2 overall and 5-2 in a crushing Big 8 was probably too much. Sure, the team itself thought they could be special, but virtually no one else pegged them for greatness. It turns out that this team was built to exceed expectations.
After beating Cincinnati, North Texas, TCU, and Houston, Kansas was rolling and #4 Colorado was next on the docket.
