The game took a bit longer than expected thanks to a lightning delay, but when it was all over and Kansas was victorious, it took only a couple minutes for the goalpost at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium to come down.
The Jayhawks showed up big time Saturday and knocked off previously undefeated No. 6 Oklahoma, winning 38-33. They retook the lead with a touchdown with 55 seconds left on the clock, leading fans to wonder if they scored too soon and left Oklahoma a chance.
Unfortunately for the Sooners, they couldn’t find the end zone in the final seconds of the game.
And unfortunately for the Kansas goalpost, it didn’t stand a chance against the crowd rushing the field, as is tradition in Lawrence after a monumental win. And it was surely headed for Potter Lake, also tradition for the Jayhawks.

Not only was it Kansas’ first win over Oklahoma since 1997, but it was its first victory against an AP top-10 team since the 2008 Orange Bowl, per ESPN Stats & Info.
