Jayson Rhodes was flagged for a personal foul, leaving Kansas with a third-and-18 down in the second quarter.

Instead of waiting for a kickoff to dribble out of bounds and then grabbing the ball, LaQuvionte Gonzalez picked it up at the 9 and returned it to the 13, thereby costing the offense 27 yards of field position.
