– Senior OL Bob Whitaker extended his team-best starting streak to 39 games.

– Kansas played its first overtime game since the 2005 regular-season finale when KU defeated Iowa State 24-21 on Nov. 26. It marked the second time in KU history the Jayhawks played more than one overtime period. KU’s longest contest was a 39-37 four overtime win at UAB on Sept. 26, 1998.

– Kansas’ only other road overtime loss was a 47-50 defeat at Colorado on Oct. 11, 2003.

– Junior TE Derek Fine hauled in a season-long catch of 19 yards in the first quarter. His previous long was an 11-yard grab against Northwestern State. He finished with five catches to set a new career high.

– Redshirt freshman QB Kerry Meier scored his fourth rushing touchdown of the season on a 12-yard scamper with 12:01 on the clock in the first quarter. The Pittsburg, Kan., has at least one rushing touchdown in all three games of his collegiate career. The TD with 12:01 in the first quarter was KU’s quickest score of the year.

– McAnderson recorded a 29-yard kick return, his second of the season.

– Sophomore DE John Larson sacked backup Toledo QB Brandon Summers for a safety midway through the third quarter. It was Larson’s first career sack and the first safety KU scored since the fourth quarter on Nov. 5, 2005 against Nebraska.
