STILLWATER, Okla. — One-hundred and eight. That’s how many years it had been since Kansas started a season 10-0.
With their 43-28 victory at Oklahoma State on Saturday, the Jayhawks cemented their first 10-0 start since 1899 and kept their dream season alive, moving up one spot to No. 4 in the AP and Coaches’ polls.
Kansas (10-0, 6-0 Big 12) did what it has done all year: Come up with defensive stops at just the right moments and respond to adversity with offensive firepower. Oklahoma State (5-5, 3-3) posted plenty of points despite the loss of its best receiver, but the Jayhawks countered two late Cowboy touchdowns with a perfectly orchestrated 89-yard touchdown drive to seal the victory.
One hundred and eight years in the making
