Kansas 24, Virginia Tech 21: Mark Mangino Gets To Eat A Bowl of Oranges
1/4/08



A lot of people, myself included, thought Kansas had a fat chance to win the Orange Bowl. You see, what we meant was ... Mark Mangino gives them a chance to win any game.

The Jayhawks still aren't any more deserving of a BCS bid over Missouri, but they proved their worth among this year's elite with a convincing three-point win over the third-ranked Hokies.

Besides the fact Kansas ALWAYS wins the turnover battle, here's what I love about Mangino. With 2:55 to play, Kansas recovered an onside kick around the VT 45-yard line. 95% of coaches would have conservatively run up the middle and settled for a 3 and out putting their opponent deep in their own territory. The trouble their, is that they have the ball. On second down, Kansas called a rollout pass. Risky with the potential to stop the clock, but I love coaches who play to win at all times. The Jayhawks drove all the way down to the 1-yard line and could have pounded it in.

The most amazing stat following this game is that the ACC has lost 8 straight BCS games (1-9 overall). That's awful. The conference's lone two bowl season wins come from it's 2nd best team (Boston College) who beat the Big Ten's 7th best and Wake Forest over UConn. Bravo.

Sorry Kansas, for doubting you so.

Jayhawks 24, Hokies 21
