Kansas' undefeated streak ended in heartbreak on Saturday, as the No. 19 Jayhawks failed to score on their last drive of the game, falling 38-31 to visiting, 17th-ranked TCU.
Some observers of the battle of unbeaten Big 12 teams were frustrated at the game's ending, when officials failed to call TCU for defensive penalties on consecutive plays. The outcome of those plays ended with the Jayhawks turning the ball over on downs at the TCU 34.
The first debated call came on Kansas' third-down play from the TCU 35. Backup quarterback Jason Bean completed a short pass in the flat to running back Devin Neal, who was brought down almost immediately by Marcel Brooks.
It appeared as if the sideline judge had a clear view of Brooks bringing Neal down by his horse collar, which would result in 15 yards and an automatic first down. She did not call the penalty, however, setting up fourth-and-9 and, more importantly, forcing Kansas to burn its first timeout (ensuring the Jayhawks would not get the ball back in the event of a turnover).
