Ouch. In the "Safe Yearly Big 12 win" rivalry, Iowa State blew the Jayhawks away with a decimating performance on the ground, racking up 243 yards on 6.6 yards per carry as a team, though most of the damage was done by Mike Warren, who averaged almost ten yards a carry and singlehandedly outscoring the Kansas offense. Throwing the ball was a bit more of an adventure for the Cyclones, as Sam Richardson threw two picks (including a pick 6 that accounted for over half of KU's points), but balanced that with two touchdowns while the young thin Jayhawks had virtually nothing that worked for them on offense.
