Good morning and Rock Chalk. One last football game for the year/season. I thank the seniors for their hard work over the last few years.

Burnt orange, bleachers and blue at today's #kufball game.
Kickoff shortly.

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:03:49 PM
Opening kick goes out of bounds.
#KUfball will open this game with the ball at own 35-yard line.

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:06:46 PM
Les Miles isn't at today's game - for those who are wondering. With his family for the holiday.

3 and out for #KUfball offense to open the game.
Great punt by Kyle Thompson follows.
UT opens on its own 2.

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:10:06 PM
UT gets some breathing room quickly. 15-yard play action pass and completion for Ehlinger on 2nd down. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:11:32 PM
KU already making the most of Les Miles' arrival. The Jayhawks' season finale moments away. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dss_gkAWoAAFJSW.jpg

Ehlinger 5 of 5 passing to open this game, 55 yards.
UT steadily driving down the field. #KUFball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:14:32 PM
My fear early on is that the only way to stop UT is a penalty or turnover.

Sr. LB Keith Loneker Jr. brings down Ehlinger for no gain. First positive play for KU defense on this series. #KUFball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:15:54 PM
3rd & 10 at KU 26-yard line.
Some actual crowd noise from KU fans.
But Ehlinger hits Collin Johnson down the right sideline for a TD.

Longhorns up 7-0 following an 11-play, 98-yard TD drive.
8:35 1Q. #KUfball

"I feel like I'm in a library." -KU fan in front of me describing how empty and quiet memorial stadium is today.

Texas strikes first, taking a 7-0 lead after a 98-yard drive #kufball t.co

by Shane Jackson via twitter 11/23/2018 5:19:56 PM
Sims able to return this kickoff and finds some space to operate.
Gets past midfield before he was hit after stepping out of bounds. No flag on the play. #KUFball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:21:30 PM
They're now reviewing this to see if Sims put up a fair catch signal before fielding it. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:22:12 PM
Wow. The slightest wave of Sims' hand as he got under the kick negates the return. It's deemed a fair catch upon review. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:23:45 PM
And KU opens this drive with a facemask call on RG Dwayne Wallace. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:25:01 PM
Near INT from Bender on 3rd and long looking for Pooka Williams.
KU will punt on its second possession too. #KUFball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:26:50 PM
Some friendly bounces on Kyle Thompson's latest punt helps it roll 76 yards. UT opening its 2nd drive inside own 5 as well.
#KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:28:28 PM
Texas scored on a 98-yard drive on the first possession. This would just be a 96-yard drive, if it were to score here.

So who is Les Miles going to get for QB next year? Miles Kendrick?

by DMeredith28 11/23/2018 5:28:53 PM

You know, now that I think about it, with their punter and Pooka, Kansas might win the Big 12 under Les Miles next year.

Joe Dineen can't believe he didn't just pick off Ehlinger.
KU defense will settle for a stop on 3rd & 5 and a UT punt, though. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:35:39 PM
Would've been Ehlinger's first INT since Week 1.
#KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:37:16 PM
Near interception by Joe Dineen, but he still got a hug from Daniel Wise #kufball t.co

by Shane Jackson via twitter 11/23/2018 5:38:15 PM
Our defense is going to be gassed by the start of the second quarter.

Pooka Williams had no business running for 9 yards there, with defenders closing in on him in the backfield. But, you know, he's Pooka Williams. So he made it happen. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:39:19 PM
It's 7-0 Texas entering 2Q.
Jayhawks had 1 1st down and 30 yards of offense on nine plays in 1st.
#KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:42:29 PM
Ridiculous 9-yard run by Pooka Williams in the first quarter #kufball t.co

by Shane Jackson via twitter 11/23/2018 5:42:55 PM
On 3rd and 10, Bender finds Stephon Robinson and the WR turns up field to pick up a 1st down. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 11/23/2018 5:44:41 PM
The Texas state flag is flying on KU's Fraser Hall for some reason. Some kind of prank? H/t to @ChrisNeal89 for the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Another stop for KU's defense.
UT has punted on its past 2 possessions.

In today's quick recap...

• The game turned when: People noticed the Texas flag on Fraser Hall.
