2005 was bad. An opportunity to play in the Big12 title game, and we choked in OT at Kansas
2002 though:
- Go toe-to-toe with #1 Florida State in the opener
- Beat Iowa, in Iowa City, for their only, regular season, loss of the season, essentially keeping them out of the BCS Championship game (they would have gone in place of Ohio State)
- Blasted #20 Nebraska
- Vaulted to #9 in the nation after housing Texas Tech ("The Run" game)
- Started 6-1, with our only loss being a nationally recognized hose job (right, wrong or indifferent) to the preseason #1
- Seneca Wallace for Heisman was all the rage
- From there, finished the season 1-6, including blowout losses to Oklahoma and KState, with sizeable losses to Colorado, UCONN (at home) and Boise State (before they were Boise State) in the Humanitarian Bowl
- Only home loss of the season was to UCONN; only road win of the season was @ Iowa
