Kansas football team, led by coach Lance Leipold, celebrates a monumental victory over No. 6 Oklahoma, ending an 18-game losing streak and marking their highest-ranked opponent win since 2008.
Kansas Celebrates - The Canadian PressLAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas coach Lance Leipold has always been focused on the future: the next game, the renovations that are about to transform Memorial Stadium, the long-term prospects of a program that has long been in the dumps.
The Jayhawks snapped an 18-game losing streak to Oklahoma in their final matchup before it departs the Big 12 for the SEC, and they beat their highest-ranked opponent since defeating Virginia Tech in the 2008 Orange Bowl.“This is a huge moment for this team,” said Jason Bean, starting once again in place of injured quarterback Jalon Daniels.
Bean threw for 218 yards with two interceptions while running for 62 yards and a touchdown. Daniel Hishaw also had two TD runs for the Jayhawks, who had not beaten Oklahoma since October 4, 1997. When the Jayhawks fumbled a kickoff, Gabriel’s second touchdown run marked 21 unanswered points for Oklahoma.The Jayhawks had closed within 21-20 in third quarter when they pounced on a fumble and Bean ran 38 yards for a score. The Sooners answered with a 75-yard TD drive to take a 27-26 lead, only to watch the Jayhawks capitalize on three personal fouls — including one on the Oklahoma bench for arguing about the first — to regain a 32-27 lead.
