Jayhawks hammer Houston in Fort Worth Bowl
FORT WORTH, TX — Jason Swanson threw
for 307 yards and four touchdowns, one more than he had in the regular
season, and the Kansas Jayhawks beat Houston 42-13 Friday night in the Fort
Worth Bowl for their first winning season and first bowl victory in 10
years.
Tailback Jon Cornish turned two shovel
passes from Swanson into scores, and also rushed for 101 yards on 16
carries. Brian Murph, who hadn't returned a kick all season, turned a muffed
punt into an 85-yard score in the first quarter that put the Jayhawks (7-5)
ahead to stay. He also caught a 48-yard TD pass.
Kansas had been in only one other bowl
since a victory over UCLA in the 1995 Aloha Bowl capped a 10-2 season. The
Jayhawks lost 56-26 to North Carolina State in the 2003 Tangerine Bowl that
ended Mark Mangino's second year as coach.
Houston (6-6) has lost six straight
bowls since winning the 1980 Garden State Bowl.
Swanson started his fifth straight
game, going 19-for-29 in his fourth victory and earning MVP honors. The
senior was the third starting quarterback used by Kansas this year. He hurt
his leg during the preseason, but took over in late October after Adam
Barrman and Brian Luke struggled.
Cougars junior quarterback Kevin Kolb
started his 36th straight game and already is the career total offense
leader at the school where David Klingler and Andre Ware also threw passes.
Kolb was 20-of-44 passing for 214 yards with three interceptions, all turned
into scores by Kansas.
Kolb had a 1-yard sneak for Houston's
only touchdown. The Cougars were held to a season-worst 244 total yards
after leading Conference USA with 457 a game during the regular season.
Kansas had 538 yards.
