I dont know if many of you have heard about this but this is an excerpt from the Forde Dash:
If you're Kansas (22), here's how you pulled it off after trailing 45-17 with 14:52 left:
You score. You onside kick and recover. You score again. Just like that, you've cut the deficit in half in a little more than five minutes without giving up the ball.
Then you scoop and score on a Colorado fumble. It's only halfway through the quarter and your deficit has been cut from 28 to seven. You've got a chance.
Next you intercept a pass at the Colorado 37 and score again five plays later. You've climbed out of a 28-point hole in 10:22. You've got this thing. All you need is for Colorado to complete the collapse.
The Buffaloes comply by going three-and-out and producing a short punt. Five easy plays later, behind a quarterback who began the season buried on the depth chart and didn't see game action until Oct. 23, you score the winning touchdown. Thirty-five points in 14 minutes.
But wait. You've come back so fast that there's actually still time left for Colorado to make one final drive.
And the Buffs do. All the way to the Kansas 7-yard line. But two final throws go incomplete, and the Jayhawks have done the ridiculous.
If you're first-year Jayhawks coach Turner Gill (23) and your team has largely stunk this season, you can pair this with the September upset of Georgia Tech as building blocks for the future.
I just have to say, 35 4th Quarter Pts??? Thats just crazy.
