Kansas hands loss to OU, ends 26-year drought vs. Sooners - ESPN

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Devin Neal ran for 112 yards and the go-ahead touchdown for Kansas with 55 seconds left, Oklahoma's Dillon Gabriel threw incomplete to the end zone on the final play of the game and the Jayhawks beat the sixth-ranked Sooners 38-33 on Saturday.

Kansas snapped an 18-game losing streak to the Sooners in their final matchup before Oklahoma departs the Big 12 for the SEC. The Sooners became the highest-ranked opponent the Jayhawks have beaten since Virginia Tech in the 2008 Orange Bowl.

The Jayhawks (6-2, 3-2 Big 12) looked as if they had given away an opportunity to win the game when Jason Bean was picked off with 2:29 to go. But their defense forced the Sooners (7-1, 4-1) to punt, and after two long completions and a fourth-down throw that picked up 37 yards, Neal scampered in from 9 yards out to give Kansas the lead — but also allow Oklahoma's offense another shot with the ball.

The Sooners had a chance to salvage their perfect record when Gabriel completed a 39-yard pass to Brennan Thompson to get to the Kansas 34 with 24 seconds left. But after a short pass to Jovantae Barnes and an incompletion, Gabriel, under heavy pressure, threw high to the end zone on the final play to touch off a field-storming celebration in Lawrence.

Bean threw for 218 yards and two interceptions, both in the fourth quarter, while running for 62 yards and a score. Daniel Hishaw had two touchdown runs for the Jayhawks, who had not beaten the Sooners since Oct. 4, 1997.

Gabriel threw for 171 yards with three touchdown runs and Tawee Walker ran for 146 yards and a score as the Sooners were left to lament too many missed opportunities down the stretch.

Until the fourth quarter, it had been a dreary homecoming for the Jayhawks.
