Nothing major

Though coaches and players stressed Saturday that Kansas University didn’t play a flawless football game, coach Mark Mangino said Sunday that nothing major stood out to him on film, either.

“Nothing recurring,” Mangino said. “We made some mistakes, but nothing that was glaring or repetitive that we neglected or the players neglected. We obviously played well in all three phases of the game. But there’s a lot of room for improvement. We know that and our players know it.”

Wake-up call

Kansas will stay at home Saturday and play Southeastern Louisiana, a member of the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA).

SE Louisiana comes in as huge a underdog, but that’s not exactly comforting to Kansas. The players surely are aware that FCS team Appalachian State knocked off No. 5 Michigan on Saturday, one of college football’s all-time biggest upsets.

“That game is a wake-up call to all Division-I players and coaches,” Mangino said. “You have to show up ready to play. You have to prepare mentally and physically for every single game you play. If you don’t, you’re going to get embarrassed.”

SE Louisiana opened its season Thursday by losing to New Mexico State, 35-14.

Season ticket record

KU associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said Saturday that more than 31,000 season tickets were sold, an increase over the 29,300 that were purchased last year.

That included a large number of family packs, which was noticeable by the filled north bowl during Saturday’s game. The estimated attendance Saturday was 46,815.

Saturday leftovers

Central Michigan received a $300,000 payout for coming to Lawrence for Saturday’s game. : Among those who did not dress out Saturday were running back Angus Quigley, defensive tackle Marcus Anderson and tight end Marc Jones. : A heated battle at strong safety apparently was won by Patrick Resby, who started and had three tackles and a fumble recovery against CMU. Tang Bacheyie, the other candidate, played exclusively on special teams Saturday.
