The Kansas Jayhawks put up an incredible 35 points in the fourth quarter to beat the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday in Lawrence, Kan. The game was simply amazing as no one thought Kansas would win by the end of the third quarter. In fact, I would have bet a lot of money they'd lose.
But I was wrong. KU put up a school record come back and make Turner Gill look very good.
Here's what people are saying about the game.

All indications are that Hawkins will be fired at the end of the season, if not sooner, and sooner is suddenly a real possibility after the Buffs' epic collapse at Kansas. CU led by 28 points in the fourth quarter, but gave up 35 unanswered points to fall 52-45 to the Jayhawks. Kansas, like CU, was winless in Big 12 play heading into the game.
