Kansas has won 17 of its last 19 and 20 of its last 23 games... KU has won nine of its last 10 Big 12 games... KU has won five straight and six of its last seven Big 12 road games... KU is 16-3 in its last 19 games as a ranked team... KU is 3-3 in its last six games vs. ranked teams... Kansas is 8-18 all-time in games played on ABC, including a 2-1 mark last season (defeated Oklahoma State and Iowa State and lost to Missouri)...

KU VS. RANKED TEAMS IN THE MANGINO ERA -- Kansas is 4-9 against Associated Press ranked teams in the Mark Mangino era with victories against #23 Missouri (35-14) in 2003, #25 Iowa State (24-21 ot) in 2005, and #24 Kansas State (30-24) and #5 Virginia Tech (24-21) in 2007. KU is 0-1 vs. ranked teams this season, falling at then #19 South Florida 37-34 on a field goal on the final play of the game. Prior to Mangino’s arrival, Kansas won four games against ranked teams in 32 such contests.

RANKED KANSAS VS. RANKED OPPONENTS -- Saturday’s game will mark just the fourth time since the 1995 season that a ranked Kansas team played a ranked opponent. All three recent games were decided by one score. Kansas is 9-17 all-time in games where both teams were ranked. Here is a look at those contests since 1995 when #11 Kansas defeated #25 UCLA 51-30 in the Aloha Bowl.

2007 - #2 Kansas vs. #3 Missouri, L 28-362008 Orange Bowl - #8 Kansas vs. #5 Virginia Tech, W 24-212008 - #13 Kansas at #19 South Florida, L 34-37 LAST TIME OUT -- Kansas junior Jake Sharp rushed for 118 yards on a career-high 31 carries and scored a personal-best three touchdowns to lead #16 Kansas to a 30-14 victory against Colorado at Kivisto Field at Memorial Stadium Saturday. Sharp’s 118 rushing yards were a season high for a KU running back and the second highest of his career behind his 127 yards against Toledo last season. His 31 attempts were the most by a Jayhawk since Jon Cornish also had 31 attempts against Nebraska in 2006 and his three touch-downs tied for sixth-best in school history. Sharp has now rushed for 197 yards in his last two games. Not to be overshadowed by Sharp’s performance was the effort of KU’s defense, which held Colorado to 233 yards of total offense, nearly 100 yards shy of its 325 per game average. The defense also came up with two intercep-tions on the day. KU quarterback Todd Reesing completed 27 passes on 34 attempts with one touchdown and no interceptions for 256 yards. The junior moved into second on the KU total offense career list, currently with 6,084 yards. Junior wide receiver Kerry Meier caught nine Reesing passes for 94 yards to mark the fourth game this season he had nine or more receptions in a game. Kansas scored 14 fourth-quarter points on two Sharp touchdowns to extend a 16-14 lead en route to the victory.

UP NEXT -- It is homecoming in Lawrence when Kansas hosts Texas Tech on Oct. 25. Texas Tech is ranked seventh by the Associated Press and plays at Texas A&M this Saturday before coming to Lawrence.

DID YOU KNOW? -- Kansas has started Big 12 play 2-0 for just the third time in the 13 years of the league (second year in a row) and will be looking for a 3-0 Big 12 mark for just the second time and second year in a row (Kansas was 7-0 in Big 12 play last season before losing its final league game).

DID YOU KNOW? -- While Kansas owns the nation’s fourth-longest active home field winning streak at 13 games, the Jayhawks will be looking to end the country’s longest current home winning streak at Nor-man, as Oklahoma has won 20 straight at home. Boise State and BYU have each won 16 consecutive home games.

GAME #1 Aug. 30 at Lawrence, Kan.

KANSAS 40, FIU 10Junior QB Todd Reesing connected with Dezmon Briscoe for three touchdown passes, while true freshman Daymond Patterson had 75-yard punt return for a touchdown in his first collegiate game to lead 14th-ranked Kansas to a convincing 40-10 victory against the FIU Golden Panthers in front of a record crowd of 52,112 at Kivisto Field at Memorial Stadium. Reesing completed a school-record 37 pass-es on 52 attempts, amassing 256 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Briscoe finished the night with a career-best nine catches for 55 yards. His three touchdown grabs also tied a career high he set against Nebraska in 2007. Kerry Meier pulled in a career-best nine balls for 62 yards as 10 different Jayhawks had receptions. It took almost two-thirds of the first quarter for the Jayhawks to get going, but once they did they didn’t look back. KU scored on five of six offensive possessions with a punt return for a score in that stretch as well. The KU defense limited FIU to just 139 yards of total offense, including just 73 passing yards. The Jayhawks forced three turnovers and turned those into 10 points.

GAME #2 Sept. 6 at Lawrence, Kan.

KANSAS 29, LOUISIANA TECH 0Not even soggy conditions could stop 14th-ranked Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing, as the junior connected on 32-of-38 passes for a career-high 412 yards and three touchdowns in KU’s 29-0 shutout victory against Louisiana Tech. The victory was KU’s 11th straight home victory and 16th consecutive win at Kivisto Field at Memorial Stadium against non-conference opponents. Defensively, KU posted its second shutout in the Mark Mangino era. Last season the Jayhawks posted a 62-0 win against Southeastern Louisiana on Sept. 8. A crowd of 48,621, the second largest non-conference home crowd at KU, saw Reesing’s 412 passing yards for the game rank third on the KU single-game list. Reesing now holds four of the top 13 single-game passing yards in KU history. His 84.2 completion percentage against the Bulldogs ranks fifth on the KU single-game list. Freshman Daymond Patterson and sophomore Dezmon Briscoe combined for 15 catches and 276 yards receiving from Reesing. Patterson ended the game with eight catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns, while Briscoe had seven receptions for a career-high 146 yards and one score. Patterson and Briscoe became the first two Jayhawks to record 100 receiving yards in the same game since the 2006 season against Nebraska - Brian Murph (8-129) and Dexton Fields (8-108). Not to be outshined, junior Kerry Meier led all receivers with nine receptions for 71 yards on the night.

GAME #3 Sept. 12 at Tampa, Fla.

SOUTH FLORIDA 37, KANSAS 34In a back and forth battle #13 Kansas fell to the 19th-ranked USF Bulls 37-34, on a 43-yard field goal by Bulls kicker Maikon Bonani as time expired. After jumping out to a 20-3 first-half lead, the Jayhawks gave up 31 unanswered points to fall behind 34-20 with 13:59 to go in the game. Quarterback Todd Reesing proceeded to lead a KU rally, engineering back-to-back touchdown drives that he capped off with touchdown passes to wide receiver Johnathan Wilson and running back Angus Quigley, respectively to tie the score at 34 with 5:32 left in the game. The Jayhawks had a chance to win the game with under a minute to go, having ad-vanced the ball to their own 40-yard line with 0:41 to go in the game. However, Reesing’s pass on first and 10 was picked off by USF defensive back Nate Allen and returned all the way to the KU 27-yard line. The Bulls ran the clock all the way down to 0:02, and Bonani’s field goal attempt hooked inside the right upright to give USF the victory. Reesing had a remarkable game in a losing effort, complet-ing 34 of 51 passes for 381 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. The junior from Austin, Texas, also had a rushing touchdown, a four-yard scamper in the second quarter that gave KU a 20-3 lead. Wilson caught 10 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns, all three career highs. Kerry Meier tied a school record with 11 receptions, which resulte in 120 yards. Defensively James Holt had 13 tackles, including three for loss and two forced fumbles.

KANSAS 38, SAM HOUSTON STATE 14Kansas junior quarterback Todd Reesing threw for 356 yards and two touch-downs to lead the No. 19 Jayhawk football team to a 38-14 victory against Sam Houston State. In a battle of quarterbacks, Reesing went 23-for-38 for 356 yards and two touchdowns to outshine SHSU’s Rhett Bomar, who went for 26-for-46 for 340 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions. The three KU interceptions led to 21 of Kansas’ 38 points. For Reesing, it marked his third-straight game of 350-plus passing yards this season. Additionally, the junior from Austin, Texas, broke the school record for most 200-yard passing games with 14 for his career, including all four games in 2008. For the second straight week, one of Reesing’s favorite targets was junior Kerry Meier, who had eight catches for a career-high 136 yards, surpassing his career best of 120 receiving yards set at South Florida on September 12. Jayhawk sophomore wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe had his second 100-yard receiving game of the year with 124 yards on five catches. Both Meier and Briscoe were recipients of Reesing touchdown throws in the game. Kansas’ defense allowed a season-low 45 rushing yards on 16 attempts for the Bearkats as the Jayhawks outgained SHSU 528 to 385 in total offense.

GAME #6 Oct. 11 at Lawrence, Kan.

KANSAS 30, COLORADO 14Kansas junior Jake Sharp rushed for 118 yards on a career-high 31 carries and scored a personal-best three touchdowns to lead #16 Kansas to a 30-14 victory against Colorado at Kivisto Field at Memorial Stadium Saturday. Sharp’s 118 rush-ing yards were a season high for a KU running back and the second highest of his career behind his 127 yards against Toledo last season. His 31 attempts were the most by a Jayhawk since Jon Cornish also had 31 attempts against Nebraska in 2006 and his three touchdowns tied for sixth-best in school history. Sharp has now rushed for 197 yards in his last two games. Not to be overshadowed by Sharp’s performance was the effort of KU’s defense, which held Colorado to 233 yards of total offense, nearly 100 yards shy of its 325 per game average. The defense also came up with two interceptions on the day. KU quarterback Todd Reesing com-pleted 27 passes on 34 attempts with one touchdown and no interceptions for 256 yards. The junior moved into second on the KU total offense career list, currently with 6,084 yards. Junior wide receiver Kerry Meier caught nine Reesing passes for 94 yards to mark the fourth game this season he had nine or more receptions in a game. Kansas scored 14 fourth-quarter points on two Sharp touchdowns to extend a 16-14 lead en route to the victory.
