Kansas suffers potentially demoralizing loss in defeat against UCF

LAWRENCE — For a moment, there was hope. While UCF was ruled to have scored a touchdown with little time remaining in the fourth quarter, officials were reviewing to see if it should be overturned or not. The replay led some in the stadium to wonder if what had initially been ruled a catch might instead be an incomplete pass. It would have been the second time a touchdown by the Knights was overturned on that drive alone. If the review went that way. But, instead, the touchdown was upheld and UCF was able to tie the score. The Knights then hit the extra point, going up 33-32 — the score Kansas would lose by on Saturday, Nov. 7. The Jayhawks' attempt to score on the ensuing kickoff failed as time ran out. Now, the Jayhawks (3-6, 1-5 in Big 12 Conference) are having to grapple with the reality their season is trending toward being a third-straight under coach Lance Leipold without a bowl appearance.

Michelle Rodriguez got her golden ticket and fulfilled her dream of starting a Mexican restaurant. Huston Hospitality owner Scott Huston brought her into the fold and let her work to bring a new dining experience to her hometown. "A golden ticket like Willy Wonka," Rodriguez said. "It was really surreal, just like seeing it and like seeing people eating the food and like seeing my logo on that really big wall. It was really surreal." Earlier in October, Amigos Locos , located at 4745 NW Hunters Ridge Circle , launched. Rodriguez said working with Huston on the project was amazing. "Creating a Mexican bar and grill has always been my dream," Rodriguez said. "I grew up here in Topeka. So, I just knew that there was a love for Midwest Mexican food; if that's a thing."
