The Kansas Jayhawks improved to 5-0 with a 30-24 upset over #24 Kansas State in Manhattan. I don't even know the last time KU started 5-0. This is very exciting considering they usually have a very weak football team. Their record in road games has been horrible.

The Wildcats regained the lead with 7:32 to play. A 5-yard TD catch put KSU up 24-21. KU came right back. Dexton Fields caught a 30-yard TD pass to put KU back on top. KU botched the extra point so the score was 27-24 with 6:27 to play.

There was still plenty of time for KSU to mount a comeback. However, KU picked off a pass which led to a field goal. That made the score 30-24 in favor of KU. The Jayhawks intercepted another pass to end KSU's chance for victory.
