Cyclones nearly pull off upset

AMES — Kansas coach Mark Mangino pulled his Jayhawks together at halftime and gave it to them straight. He figured they were bound to start playing better, because they couldn’t play any worse.
‘‘’We’ve played very poorly,’’’ Mangino said he told his team, which trailed 20-0 at the break. ‘‘’But we can win this game, and we will win this game, if you keep your poise, you stay calm.’’’
The Jayhawks did just that, answering an awful first half with one of the biggest comebacks in school history.
Todd Reesing threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns and No. 16 Kansas stormed back from a 20-point hole before hanging on to beat Iowa State 35-33 on Saturday.
Kerry Meier caught seven passes for 125 yards and two TDs for the Jayhawks (4-1, 1-0 Big 12), who tied the third-biggest comeback in school history by outscoring the Cyclones 35-13 in the second half.

The 16th-ranked Jayhawks do, in fact, run the football. Their ground game just seems invisible so far.
