Ryan Broyles will break the NCAA record for receptions during this game! He needs only 4, which he could get in the Sooners 1st possession. Hopefully, there will be a large contingent of Sooners there to celebrate this record breaking event with Ryan and the Sooners! KU tickets are inexpensive and there is still time to make your plans to go!!
