After a 5-1 start to the 2008 season, Kansas Jayhawks lost four of their next five games. The winning start to the season meant that they were invited to the Insight Bowl where they comfortably defeated Minnesota 42-21 winning a Bowl game for the third time in four years. Finishing last season 8-5 was disappointing considering the 12-1 record of the divisional championship co-winning season in 2007. The Homecoming defeat to Texas Tech 63-21 probably hurt the most that season while the 52-21 win against Kansas State helped them reach the Bowl. Mark Mangino, in charge for the eighth season, has to plan life without linebackers James Holt and Mike Rivera who have departed to San Diego Chargers and Chicago Bears respectively. Holt was the defensive MVP at the Insight Bowl last season.
