The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets used a combination of big plays and a stifling running attack to set the tone Saturday afternoon, defeating the Kansas Jayhawks 66-24. In an impressive offensive display, the Yellow Jackets collected a total of 604 rush yards and 164 pass yards, which combined for the most offensive yards ever given up by a Kansas defense.   Kansas drops to 2-1 overall, while Georgia Tech improves to 3-0.   The Jayhawks finished with 362 total yards of offense, compared to 768 for the Yellow Jackets.

Last year Jacob Pullen dropped 38 points on then top-ranked Kansas as the Wildcats upset the Jayhawks in Bramlage Coliseum; but that was last year.  Coming into this year's second matchup between Kansas and Kansas State the Wildcats are once again struggling (6-6 in the Big 12) while Kansas is cruising through the conference (10-2).  Kansas has won 43 of the last 46 matchups against Kansas State with coach Frank Martin having the most success against the Jayhawks; Dana Altman is the only other coach with more than one win against Kansas in the series.

When Travis Releford knocked a loose ball forward as time struck zero, Kansas head coach Bill Self punched the sky the hardest he ever has since the Jayhawks beat Missouri in the final Border War game. Clearly, beating Oklahoma State 68-67 in double overtime Wednesday night meant just as much as any of the biggest rivalry games for Kansas. The play that won the game came from a rather unlikely source. With Elijah Johnson sitting on the bench with five fouls, Naadir Tharpe backed his way into the lane and rolled to his right, dropping in a bucket for the lead and ultimately the win. "The just made a huge play right there - biggest play of his life, I'm sure," Self said.

As if having the name Kansas across the front of your jersey isn't pressure enough, there are three members of the KU basketball team whose name on the back of the jersey brings with it just as much pressure.
