BYU’s undefeated season is over.
The No. 6 Cougars couldn’t post another late comeback Saturday night in a 17-13 home loss to Kansas. BYU failed to convert a 4th-and-11 at the Kansas 16-yard-line with 47 seconds to go as Jake Retzlaff’s pass to Chase Roberts ended up three yards short of a first down.
BYU needed to get 11 yards because of a false start penalty as they first lined up for the play. The second half was full of futile drives from BYU, and a fluky play on a punt led to Kansas' go-ahead touchdown.
The Jayhawks had QB Jalon Daniels punt from inside BYU territory early in the fourth quarter. Daniels angled his kick to the right sideline, and it bounced off the helmet of a BYU player running down the field before Kansas recovered the ball inside the BYU 5.
