Brian Luke, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound red-shirt freshman quarterback from Walnut Creek, Calif., made his collegiate debut with 10:51 showing in the second quarter and KU trailing 36-0. Luke quickly threw a 12-yard pass to Derick Mills for the Jayhawks’ initial first down. Luke played the rest of the way.

 K-State had scored on six straight possessions until Joe Rheem was wide left on a 45-yard field goal attempt midway through the second quarter.

 KU averaged .5 yards per play in the first half, accumulating 14 yards on 28 attempts (16 passes, 12 rushes). KSU had 313 yards on 44 attempts in forging a 43-0 lead. KU had 101 yards in the second half.

 KU coach Mark Mangino was hit with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty less than 30 seconds into the second half. Mangino apparently said something to an official when he went on the field to check on the status of nose tackle Brock Teddleton, who was on the ground with a minor injury.

 With nearly 28 minutes remaining on the game clock, Kansas State had already scored more points (57) than it had ever scored against Kansas. The previous high was 54 in 1998.

 Bobby Birhiray, a seldom-used junior cornerback, made his first career interception when he picked off KSU quarterback Marc Dunn in the end zone midway through the third quarter. It was K-State’s only turnover.

 McLouth native Jeff Schwinn played quarterback for the ‘Cats in the fourth quarter. Schwinn, a fourth-year junior, contributed a career-best 42-yard run.

 K-State has now scored 50 or more points against Kansas in four of the last five meetings. The average score of those five games has been 52-7. KSU shut out KU for the first time since 1955 (46-0).

 The 64-point margin made it the third most lopsided defeat in KU history, topped only by a 70-0 hammering by Nebraska in 1986 and a 65-0 flogging by Oklahoma in 1954. All three of the defeats were at Memorial Stadium.

 KU tied a Big 12 record by losing five fumbles. K-State also picked off two KU passes.

 According to the stats sheet, KU’s leading tacklers were linebacker Nick Reid and safety Johnny McCoy with 11 stops apiece.

 Tom Ahlers of Des Moines was the referee in charge of the Big 12 Conference officiating crew that included one Kansan  field judge Duane Osborne of Seneca. Tom Quick, a former KU football player who lives in Overland Park, was in the press box as an alternate official.

 Kickoff temperature was 37 degrees under cloudy skies with a negligible 6 mph wind out of the southwest. A light rain fell off and on throughout the game.

 A fan wearing a KU hat leaned over the railing above the KU locker room door and yelled obscenities at Jayhawk coach Mark Mangino after the game. Fernando DeSanMiguel, who in an unofficial capacity handles some security matters for the team, had a verbal exchange with the fan. Mangino appeared to ignore the heckler.

 Meanwhile, KSU coach Bill Snyder’s postgame press conference outside the visitor’s locker room was disrupted by another fan who was yelling insults at media members from outside the fence outside the stadium.

“Has that guy been drinking all day or what?” Snyder said. “He’s not one of ours is he?”

Snyder had no visible reaction when told the heckler was wearing a KU hat.
