1. Devin Neal

The other two players had impressive performances, but Neal's eclipses both. He had one of the best offensive showings in Kansas football history, further proving why he is a Jayhawk legend and the program's all-time leading rusher.

A career-high 37 totes earned him 207 rushing yards and a trio of touchdowns on the ground. Additionally, Neal led the team in receiving yards with 80, most of which came from a breathtaking catch-and-run in the first quarter to open the scoring. In total, he finished with 287 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns.
