I definitely wouldn't count out VA Tech yet - 17 pts is nothing to them. Beamer ball, get a blocked punt/FG returned for TD, they're right back in it.

3. Not too often you see Beamer out-Beamered.
Great game. Two good teams slugging it out - could come down to the final possession.

7. 1st and goal at the 1 and you get no points.
That's gotta hurt. Despite a few breakdowns, both defenses are playing very well. This game could have easily been a score-fest.

11. Only thing I heard was that it was on #50.
They wasted the replays on looking if the runner fumbled after he was down. Never did see what the penalty was about.

9. ANOTHER KANSAS INTERCEPTION
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 11:19 PM by Ekirh
And they are inside the five. .

this late in the game and so little scoring.. a touchdown could be a death knell (I know there's still ten minutes plus left)

Edit: TOUCHDOWN... Tech has work to do in the next 10:57

10. Moose Johnston makes an excellent point.
Why has VT abandoned the run? Kansas is having a really tough time stopping Ore, so VT playcallers are doing it for them.

Now it's under 11 minutes to go, and you're down two scores. You might throw a few runs in to keep the defense honest but you need yards and points quick.

13. Kansas screwed up by not going for the FG
When they were at the 22.

Now, only a FG ties, instead of VT needing another Touchdown.

14. Bigtime.
But they're doing well on this final drive. Another first down and that will just about do it.

15. VA is now just slowly bleeding..
crucial first down after crucial first down by Kansas.. it's like they are multiply stabbing Tech to death in the final minutes.

Tech cannot stop the clock..

18. Kansas wins 24 - 21! Great end to a great season for the Jayhawks
Jayhawks fans should be especially proud of their defense.
