The winless streak on Kansas stopped at 46 games.
The Jayhawks beat Central Michigan 31-7 on Saturday to break a series of NCAA defeats on the road. There is also a series of defeats of 49 games in the matches, not at Kansas Memorial Stadium when you include three neutral defeats at the Missouri site.
Instagram did not exist the last time KU won on the road
Before Saturday's game in Central Michigan, Kansas' last win on the road was when the last iPhone was the 3GS. Barack Obama was in his first year as President of the United States. The New England Patriots were trying to return to the playoffs after missing the previous season. Instagram did not exist.
Yes, it was in 2009. The date of this victory was September 12th. The opponent was UTEP, a team that the Jayhawks beat 34-7. The Kansas coach was Mark Mangino.
The Kansas coach in 2018 is David Beaty. He is the third full-time coach since the Mangino dismissal at the end of the season. Beaty's future is in the air with the team losing to Nicholls and former Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long, now head of the Kansas Sports Department. But if Beaty is hoping to remain Kansas coach in 2019, Saturday is a strong mark in his favor.
Pooka Williams runs for 2 scores
Saturday was the first match of former four-star rookie Pooka Williams. The running back has announced his presence with a big game. Williams scored two touchdowns and ran for more than 100 yards while Kansas took a 21-0 lead in the third quarter. The game was the first time Kansas had led 10 or more on the road since 2012.
By 2018, there would have been no collapse. A pickup restored the Jayhawks' advantage after scoring.
The win is a huge rebound for the Jayhawks after an embarrassing defeat against an FCS opponent during Week 1. While Kansas is not going to bowling in 2018 – if you can find four or five wins I think You will also win the lottery – the win gives Jayhawk fans hope that the team could have two consecutive wins this season.

Social media reaction
The Lawrence Police Department tweeted a celebratory message while trying to preemptively prevent Jayhawks' overzealous fans from doing something crazy …
Well, guys, it's been a while since KU won a road match, so let's refresh everyone's memory of how it works. Essentially, if KU wins on the road, everyone celebrates by not violating the law in any way. Let's keep the tradition alive!
