Nov. 23rd – at Kansas – It’s All Gravy From Here

Kansas running back Devin Neal ran for 207 yards and three touchdowns, caught four passes for 80 yards and another score, leading Kansas to a 37-21 victory over No. 16 Colorado. KU quarterback Jalon Daniels threw for 189 yards and a touchdown, and the Jayhawks scored on every offensive series but their last, amassing 520 yards of total offense.

CU quarterback Shedeur Sanders finished with 266 yards passing and three touchdowns, setting the Colorado single-season record with 30 touchdown passes (Sefo Liufau had 28 in 2014), while Travis Hunter finished with eight catches for 125 yards and two scores. But the two-way standout did little on defense — nor did anyone else wearing all-white uniforms — as the Jayhawks beat a ranked team for a school-record third straight week.

“You can’t win when a team rushes for 331 yards on you,” Coach Prime said. “That’s not indicative of who we’ve been and who we are. That is certainly not who we are and we could not stop the bleeding. Hats off to them. They were physical. They out-physicalled us, they outplayed us. They wanted it a lot more than we did.”

Welcome, Buff Nation, to Thanksgiving Week!

A week filled with traditions. A week filled with family, friends, food, and football … though not necessarily in that order.

While travel issues and family dynamics can take away from the celebration, most of us are fans of Thanksgiving – especially the food and the football.

I love a good Thanksgiving dinner. A few large slices of turkey, dressing, and mashed potatoes fill the plate (alongside a few “no thank you” helpings of whatever weird side dishes people bring over). Covering it all, of course, is a generous helping of gravy.
