427 yards rushing. By one player. In one game.
One week after Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon broke the record for most running yards in a game with 408, someone topped him.
That someone is Oklahoma freshman Samaje Perine. Perine ran for 427 yards on 34 carries Saturday afternoon, leading the Sooners to a 44-7 win over hapless Kansas.
Perine wasn't even a starter in the game delayed for 90 minutes due to lightning in the Norman area.
But when he got in on the second series, he delivered the thunder, taking his 1st carry 49 yards to the house. Perine had 222 by halftime.
Oh, did we mention he scored 5 TD's too?

Rare Big 12 Win For Kansas, Fans Tear Down The Goal Posts
Times have been lean for Kansas Football.Last year the Jayhawks won three games. One the year before that.
Turner Gill and Charlie Weis have tried and failed to bring a winner to Lawrence.
Ironically the last head coach to have success at K-U, Mark Mangino was on the opposite sideline as offensive coordinator at Iowa State.
Clint Bowen is getting his shot as head coach after Weis was let go in September and Saturday against Iowa State Bowen got his first win as the Jayhawks head coach as Kansas defeated Iowa State 34-14.
The long suffering fans of Kansas were so giddy that tearing down the goal posts after beating Iowa State was appropriate.
All the spoils of victory were enjoyed by Kansas, The goalposts went down and Bowen received the obligatory Gatorade shower.I've always seen those." Bowen said. "They're a lot colder than you think. The old ice punch challenge came through there. Honestly about the greatest feeling of my life as this coaching thing goes."
“This is a bad loss." Iowa State head coach Paul Rhodes said.
It was a convincing win by the Jayhawks but their performance in the last three games of their schedule might impress the powers that be at Kansas to offer Bowen the job full time.
Those last three games are at home against red hot TCU next week. Then a road trip to a disappointing Oklahoma Sooner team before ending the season hosting Kansas State in the Sunflower Showdown.
A win in one of those games might give Bowen the gig for good.
“I would love nothing more than for him to be the guy full time" Kansas quarterback Michael Cummings said. . "Him as a coach, he is enthusiastic, he’s a former player so he knows what we go through day-in and day-out. I think he is a great leader.”
"When we look at Coach Bowen we see KU all over him, so everybody goes out in practice and in the game and play our hardest for that man.” Kansas WR/RB Tony Pierson said.
Cmon Kansas, are you serious? You beat a 2 win team and you tore down your goalposts? Straight weak!!!

Charlie Weis Fired at Kansas
The Charlie Weis era at Kansas is over.
The former Notre Dame head coach, University of Florida offensive coordinator and former offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots was fired Sunday morning after compiling a 6-22 record at Kansas in 3 seasons.
The school announced Defensive Coordinator Clint Bowen will be the interim coach for the rest of the 2014 season.
From athletic director Sheahon Zenger; "I appreciate what Coach Weis did with several facets of our football program," Zenger continued. "But we have not made the on-the-field progress we believe we should. I believe new leadership gives our coaches and players the best chance to make a fresh start."
Read the entire press release from the school RIGHT HERE
This is likely the end of Weis' head coaching career. He's considered by most a pretty decent guy, but not someone capable of being successful running a top tier D-1 program.
Though we should add he struggled in Gainesville at Florida as offensive coordinator as well. He's got 2-years left on his deal with the struggling Jayhawks who have been one of college football's worst teams over the past 5 years.
Weis is also officially the 1st coach fired this season.

Kansas State upset Kansas last night in Manhattan...

Finally Kansas Wins A Big 12 Conference Game, Breaks 27 Game Losing Streak
Little did Kansas football fans know that when the Jayhawks defeated Colorado 52-45 in 2010 that would begin a long painful Big 12 Conference losing streak.
KU couldn't beat up on Colorado again because the Buffalos had the audacity to leave the conference for the Pac 12.
In that 2010 game James Sims ran for three touchdowns against the Buffs. Three years later Sims made three trips into the end zone again along with a career high 211 yards as
Kansas finally won a conference game Saturday in Lawrence 31-19 over West Virginia.
(Thanks KU Athletics)
"It felt amazing looking up at the scoreboard and us on top and them down, it's a wonderful feeling." Sims said. "We did it as a whole, it wasn't just one individual or anything like that. We did it as a whole and that's a great thing."
"Let's start with the kids that have been here for five years and gone through multiple coaches." Kansas head coach Charlie Weis said. "Those are the guys I feel the best for. I also feel good for all of our students and fans who have endured those years. Finally, I'm obviously happy for the team because they were struggling."
After the game Charlie Weis gave his team the green light to go out a celebrate.

I hope the daughters of Lawrence, Kansas and KU co-eds were fore warned.

Andrew Wiggins One-Ups Jabari Parker, Kansas Defeats Duke 94-83
It's hard for a college basketball game to grab attention while college football is in the stretch run but Tuesday nights Duke - Kansas was sexy enough to do just that.
Two of college basketball's name brands and a match-up of two of the best freshman in the country that came in with lots of hype, Kansas' Andrew Wiggins and Duke's Jabari Parker.
Parker didn't disappoint with 27 points, nine rebounds before fouling out late in the game.
Here's Jabari Parker after the game. (Thanks Blue Devil Network)
Wiggins wasn't to shabby either with 22 points, 16 of those 22 points came in the second half. Wiggins also added eight rebounds and a couple of key baskets down the stretch that put Kansas over the top.
Wiggins had a luxury Jabari Parker didn't have, another 20 plus point scorer. Perry Ellis led Kansas with 24 points, nine rebounds in KU's 94-83 win over Duke.
"Big players make big plays," said Wiggins, "I think our whole team, whoever was on the court, every possession we made a big play. That's why we came out on top."
"We didn't play a bad game tonight, we played well," Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "We didn't play well on the defensive end in the second half and in big moments, we weren't able to get a stop. Part of that is they're good. They're really good."
Andrew Wiggins may have one upped Jabari Parker in this head to head meeting but both a special basketball players.
I'm hoping these two match-up again one more time, like at the Final Four.

Texas barely survives Kansas
And who ever thought we'd be saying that Kansas nearly upsets Texas?
But that is exactly what happened in Lawrence, Kansas.
Texas needed a TD pass from back-up QB Case McCoy (Colt's little brother) with 12 seconds left in the game to grab victory from the jaws of defeat.
The Longhorns get the win, but lose a little dignity against a very bad Kansas team, 21-17.
Kansas could only muster 39 yards passing, though James Sims did run for 176 yards. Texas didn't do much of anything on offense and starting QB David Ash got benched. The Longhorns moved to 3-2 in the Big 12 6-2 overall, Kansas, a member of our "Bottom of the Barrel", is 0-5 in the Big 12 and 0-7 overall.
