Dominating the once-mighty Huskers like never before, Todd Reesing threw a school-record six touchdown passes and No. 8 Kansas battered Nebraska 76-39 today, keeping the surprising Jayhawks in the national championship picture.

Kansas (9-0, 5-0 Big 12) scored touchdowns on 10 straight possessions and rolled up the most points ever scored against Nebraska in its 117-year football history.

Reesing was 30-of-41 for 354 yards, and his 23 touchdown passes also set a school single-season record. Brandon McAnderson ran for 119 yards and tied a school record with four rushing TDs.

With their first five-game losing streak since 1958, Nebraska (4-6, 1-5) appears to be coming to pieces in the fourth season of embattled coach Bill Callahan.

Steve Pederson, the athletic director who hired Callahan, was fired on Oct. 13 after a 45-14 loss at home to Oklahoma State. His interim successor, former coach Tom Osborne, who won three of Nebraska's five national championships, was watching from a pressbox suite but a school spokesman said he would have no comment.
