KU finishes record-setting day, pounds Nebraska 76-39- November 3, 2007
- Todd Reesing set a handful of school records when it was all said and done, finishing the day by going 30-of-41 for 354 yards and six touchdown passes. The six-pack of TDs set a KU single-game record, and gave him 23 for the season, which surpassed Bill Whittemore’s previous single-season record of 18 set in 2003. Three of his touchdown passes went to freshman Dezmon Briscoe, who now has seven on the season. Brandon McAnderson was huge again, finishing with 119 yards on 25 carries, but doing the bulk of his damage in the red zone with four touchdown runs. He now has 797 yards and 13 TD runs on the year. KU’s 76 points were the most ever allowed by a Nebraska team, breaking the old mark of 70. KU will try to go 10-0 and stay in the Big 12 driver’s seat when it travels to Stillwater next Saturday for a 7 p.m. kickoff against Oklahoma State. The game will be televised by ABC.
