**1 – Ke’aun Kinner:** Rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries for an average of 8.4 yards per carry. Also turned a short pass into a 29-yard gain. His 39-yard touchdown up the middle was the longest TD run of season for Kansas. Aches and pains prevented him from carrying it late in the game. Not that many have noticed, but he’s had a heck of a senior season.

**2 – Taylor Martin:** Fastest player on the roster rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries, averaging 4.9 yards a carry. Has shown steady improvement throughout the season.

**3 – Fish Smithson:** Senior safety had an interception, a pass breakup and was in on six tackles.

**4 – Carter Stanley:** Undeniably added pep to the offense by getting plays off quickly, but didn’t have the arm strength to make accurate downfield throws. Completed 26 of 38 passes, the last his lone interception of the day, for 171 yards and a touchdown. Head coach David Beaty said he will start next week’s home finale against Texas.

**5 – Brandon Stewart:** Smoked Trever Ryan the instant he caught the two-point conversion pass pass to preserve Kansas’ 24-22 lead late in the third quarter.

**6 – Michael Zunica:** Blocking back did a magnificent job of paving way for Kinner and Martin with tagging defenders with some particularly punishing blocks.

**7 – Tevin Shaw:** Had a pass breakup and a couple of loud hits.

**8 – Courtney Arnick:** Senior linebacker had eight solo tackles and one tackle for a loss.

**9 – De’Andre Banks:** Offensive line has made strides and he has been the best of the bunch.

**10 – Shakiem Barbel:** Steady senior had six receptions for 60 yards and a touchdown.
