LAWRENCE, Kansas (Ticker) -- Kansas took out years offrustration on Nebraska.


Todd Reesing threw a school-record six touchdown passes as theeighth-ranked Jayhawks dismantled the Cornhuskers, 76-39, in aBig 12 Conference mismatch Saturday.


Losers of 37 of the previous 38 meetings to Nebraska, Kansas(9-0, 5-0 Big 12 North) scored touchdowns on 10 consecutivepossessions to remain the only undefeated team in theconference.


Brandon McAnderson rushed for 125 yards and four touchdowns on26 carries as the Jayhawks erased an early 14-7 deficit andscored the most points ever allowed by the Cornhuskers.

Reesing carved up Nebraska (4-6, 1-5), which suffered its fifthconsecutive defeat for the first time since 1958 and remainedwinless since a 35-17 victory over Iowa State on September 29.

The sophomore quarterback completed 30-of-41 passes for 354yards and zero interceptions as the Jayhawks matched the 1908team for the best start in school history. Reesing now has 23scoring passes on the season, also a Kansas record.

McAnderson rushed for three first-half touchdowns to help Kansastake a 48-24 lead at the break - the most points ever allowedby the Cornhuskers in one half.


Only a missed extra point spared Nebraska the ignominy ofallowing 70 points through three quarters.


The Cornhuskers, with quarterback Joe Ganz making his firststart of the season in place of an injured Sam Keller, tried tokeep pace with the Jayhawks, pulling within 48-31 on a 15-yardtouchdown pass to Maurice Purify on the opening drive of thesecond half.


Undaunted, Kansas continued the onslaught by responding withthree touchdowns in a span of 6:01 to take a 69-31 lead headinginto the final quarter.


Reesing connected on scoring passes of 14 and 7 yards to DezmonBriscoe to surpass Ralph Miller (1930) for the most touchdownsby a Kansas quarterback in a game, and Jake Sharp capped off thebinge with an 11-yard TD run.


Ganz had a solid opening half but unraveled afterward, throwingthree second-half interceptions. He finished 25-of-50 for 408yards with four touchdowns and four picks.


Purify hauled in seven catches for 159 yards and three TDs.

LAWRENCE, Kansas (Ticker) -- Kansas took out years offrustration on Nebraska.


Todd Reesing threw a school-record six touchdown passes as theeighth-ranked Jayhawks dismantled the Cornhuskers, 76-39, in aBig 12 Conference mismatch Saturday.


Losers of 37 of the previous 38 meetings to Nebraska, Kansas(9-0, 5-0 Big 12 North) scored touchdowns on 10 consecutivepossessions to remain the only undefeated team in theconference.


"This is one of those games that you're never going to forget,"Reesing said. "Anytime you can score over 70 points against ateam like Nebraska, it's unbelievable."


Brandon McAnderson rushed for 119 yards and four touchdowns on26 carries as the Jayhawks erased an early 14-7 deficit andscored the most points ever allowed by the Cornhuskers.

"It was pretty big stuff, but a win is a win," McAnderson said."We scored 19 in a couple of games and won, and today we scored76, but it wasn't like we were celebrating the 76 points wescored. We were just celebrating the victory."


Reesing carved up Nebraska (4-6, 1-5), which suffered its fifthconsecutive defeat for the first time since 1958 and remainedwinless since a 35-17 victory over Iowa State on September 29.

The sophomore quarterback completed 30-of-41 passes for 354yards and zero interceptions as the Jayhawks matched the 1908team for the best start in school history. Reesing now has 23scoring passes on the season, also a Kansas record.

"He has a chance to maybe be the best that I have coached. Hecan handle praise and he deserves it," Kansas coach Mark Manginosaid. "I didn't think we were going to score 76 points todaybut the kids really played well. They played smart, sharpfootball."


McAnderson rushed for three first-half touchdowns to help Kansastake a 48-24 lead at the break - the most points ever allowedby the Cornhuskers in one half.


Only a missed extra point spared Nebraska the ignominy ofallowing 70 points through three quarters.


"It (stinks)," Cornhuskers Linebacker Tyler Wortman said. "Itsnowballed on us bad. It's difficult when it goes bad on theroad. You just have to build momentum on the good things thathappen to your team."


Nebraska, with quarterback Joe Ganz making his first start ofthe season in place of an injured Sam Keller, tried to keep pacewith the Jayhawks, pulling within 48-31 on a 15-yard touchdownpass to Maurice Purify on the opening drive of the second half.

Undaunted, Kansas continued the onslaught by responding withthree touchdowns in a span of 6:01 to take a 69-31 lead headinginto the final quarter.


"They really outplayed us in all phases of the game. We wantedto come out in the second half and get a score and we did that,"Nebraska coach Bill Callahan said. "Then they got a very goodkickoff return after that. Their special teams played very wellall day. We had too many turnovers that led to the hugeseparation that was created in the third quarter."

Reesing connected on scoring passes of 14 and 7 yards to DezmonBriscoe to surpass Ralph Miller (1930) for the most touchdownsby a Kansas quarterback in a game, and Jake Sharp capped off thebinge with an 11-yard TD run.


Ganz had a solid opening half but unraveled afterward, throwingthree second-half interceptions. He finished 25-of-50 for 408yards with four touchdowns and four picks.


"I thought he did a pretty good job," said Callahan of Ganz."In the first half he sparked us and then again in the secondhalf on the first drive he sparked us again. ... When you getbehind by that margin, you really press to try to make a playand close up the game up a bit."


Purify hauled in seven catches for 158 yards and three TDs.
