2009 SEASON IN REVIEW: The season got off in typical [Kansas] fashion, at least of late, as the Jayhawks won their first five games, including a closer- than-expected 41-36 decision over Iowa State in the Big 12 opener. At 5-0 and feeling pretty good about things, no one could have predicted what happened next as KU stumbled to seven straight losses, four of which came by double figures, and all of which occurred in conference.

Brodie Croyle completed 11-of-16 throws for 119 yards and Jackie Battle carried 10 times for 67 yards and a touchdown to lead Kansas City to a 17-13 win over Green Bay to conclude the preseason for both teams.
