In a fitting end to its memorable season, Kansas evoked memories of a long-ago past and the promise of a bright future.

Appearing in the 2008 Orange Bowl some 39 years after its most famous alumnus led it into the postseason, Kansas edged Virginia Tech, 24-21, to complete its record-breaking campaign.

Kansas finished with a school-record 12 victories in 13 games, surpassing even the total of the 1968 team led by incomparable running back Gayle Sayers. The Jayhawks lost to Penn State in the 1969 Orange Bowl, 15-14.
