A historic Saturday ended in an epic celebration for Kansas as the Jayhawks became bowl eligible for the first time in nearly 15 years following a major win at home.
Kansas upset No. 18 Oklahoma State, 37–16, to secure a trip to the its first bowl game since 2008, and improve to 6–3 (3–3 Big 12) on the season. The upcoming appearance will also be the program’s first under second-year coach Lance Leipold.
Moments after the final whistle blew, elated Jayhawks fans stormed the field to celebrate the resounding victory, KU’s first over its conference rival in quite some time after dropping the last 12 consecutive meetings dating back to ’07. The hectic scene quickly escalated after fans rallied around the nearest goalpost and brought it down in only a matter of minutes.
