Kansas came into Miami with the mindset of being the bigshot, not the underdog, but critics and so-called experts still doubted their chances in the game vs. VaTech. The Jayhawks didn't see themselves as the Cinderella, but as the team that absolutely deserved their spot in the BCS (I still think Mizzou shoulda gotten a spot over 'em, but what can ya do?)
The Jayhawk D stepped up major in last night's game, neutralizing the VaTech offense, something that Kansas struggled to do all season long. Led by junior Aqib Talib (who plays both sides of the ball), Kansas made their case as a national power by controlling the clock and the score for nearly the entire game, and beating the Hokies 24-21.
But, on the other side of the spectrum, Hawaii showed their WAC schedule incompetance, in an embarassing loss to Georgia in the Sugar Bowl 3 nights ago, by the tally of 41-10. Colt Brennan showed many pro scouts his flaws as a QB, like the fact he becomes deathly afraid of defenses of any team on the eastern side of the Mississippi.I guess every Cinderella season can't end like Boise State's or George Mason's, but Kansas keeps that hope alive for every other small fry in NCAA sports. Who knows, maybe Idaho will shock the world next year and make it to the BCS National Championship Game.
