Fans seemed pretty much split going into this game. Some (myself included), felt KU would do what they always do after pulling off an upset, and go right back to being destroyed. Others felt there was enough momentum and legitimate improvement to expect this one to stay close.
Depending on which part of the game you point to, either side could appear to correct, though the second mindset proved more accurate. After giving up a quick touchdown in the 1st, Kansas put together a solid drive to tie it at 7. The defense help up pretty well early, and a few minutes into the 2nd, the Jayhawks actually took a 14-7 off a Devin Neal touchdown.
