The early missed two-point conversion prevented KU from trying to win in regulation.

Bean had Fairchild wide open in the end zone. He could have run it in and he overthrows the covered receiver. Damn!

We seemed just spent at the end. Arkansas kept running in fresh legs in O/T somehow.

It was like Dane Christ at Northern Illinois. So bad it looked intentional. Too big a moment

Lots of energy used to catch up caught up to them.

Absolutely have to figure something out on the defensive side of the ball next year.

Yep. Need a major speed and scheme overhaul.

Great game.
Great effort.
Daniels showed fight and then balled out and we came back.

Our defense is miserable. No pressure. No tackling at the second level. Lost and lose coverage. Hopefully some of that gets retooled.

Fantastic season. Bowl game when many were thinking just four wins. We get a lot of our core offense back next year.

Kansas wins if they play mistake free in the First quarter. Or with some calls in the Third. Played too conservatively when it was clear Arkansas was playing the run on every down

Just watched that last play a few times; Bean scores if he runs to the pylon.

We watched a historic bowl game. Like the 1969 Orange Bowl. The defense was not great. But Jefferson is a load. Very proud after being sooooo disappointed in the second quarter. Kansas played a perfect 4th quarter offensively.

It will haunt us. He was so fast. But not as bright as he needed to be.

Good point here. Could say Kotelnicki got too cute. But hard when you’ve had that many 2 point plays already.

Leipold said they ran out of 2 point plays on their sheet. Went with a play that worked a couple of times this year.

Just unfortunate.

Nothing special was needed at that point. Read option to JD.
