LAWRENCE, KS \u2013 Chaos. A thrilling finish. A comeback win. This all describes Saturday\u2019s game against Texas Tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Kansas almost upset #15 Texas a week ago with a season-high 569 total offensive yards under their new Offensive Coordinator Brent Dearmon, they could count the 50-48 loss as a moral victory. However, victories in the record book count even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousands gathered to David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium for Saturday\u2019s game, hoping to witness history during homecoming week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Texas Tech opened the game with a 17-0 lead, some of that hope seemed lost. That was until Kansas scored 14 unanswered points to end the first half, which included a couple of deep bombs from QB Carter Stanley to junior wide receiver Stephon Robinson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texas Tech would then score 10 unanswered points before Carter Stanley connected with Stephon Robinson again for a 65-yard touchdown with 3:56 left in the 3rd<\/sup> quarter. Early in the 4th<\/sup> quarter, Stanley connected with wide receiver Andrew Parchment for a 70-yard touchdown, which tied the game at 27 with 13:42 left in the game. However, when the volume at Memorial Stadium reached its peak, Texas Tech responded with a three-play touchdown drive to take the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a big defensive stop, Kansas had a chance to drive down the field to win the game. Their offense started moving down the field, and with 13 seconds remaining, kicker Liam Jones lined up to kick a 40-yard field goal to give Kansas the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then\u2026 Chaos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kick was blocked. Texas Tech\u2019s Douglas Coleman recovered. It looked like Kansas would tackle him deep in their own territory, but Coleman lateraled the ball behind him, hoping a teammate would receive the ball. Nobody was there. Kansas recovered the ball at the Texas Tech 14-yard line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 2 seconds remaining, Liam Jones had received the mother of all second chances. He would hit the 32-yard field goal as time expired, giving Kansas the 37-34 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TAKEAWAYS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-QB Carter Stanley\u2019s 415 yards and 3 TD\u2019s earned him Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Under new OC Brent Dearmon, KU averages 548 yards per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT\u2019S NEXT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kansas stays home to play #22 Kansas State for the Sunflower Showdown on November 2. Kansas State came off of an upset win against #6 Oklahoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the outcome, I predict David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium to have their first sellout since the Mark Mangino era. Kansas needs to win 3 of their last 4 games to be bowl eligible. Will they answer the call?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
