On a crisp, November night in Lawrence, 23 seniors ran out of the tunnel and onto Memorial Stadium for the last time ever. A warm crowd greeted them as the Hawks came out for warmups, dressed in the traditional blue tops and white pants, and an even warmer bunch greeted them when they came out for kickoff dressed in all black, with blue trimmings, and most importantly: white helmets with the Jayhawk on the side. The stage was set for a Big 12 win, KU's first in 19 straight tries, but redshirt freshman Sam Richardson and the Iowa State Cyclone would have none of that, beating Kansas into submission on its home turf, 51-23.
