Kansas shocks No. 7 BYU on the road in Epic College Football

They did it, folks.

The Kansas Jayhawks went into Provo and stunned the No. 7 BYU Cougars 17-13, pulling off an upset that no one saw coming and putting a halt to BYU’s playoff hopes.

In a game that will go down as one of the biggest surprises of the season, Kansas played fearlessly from start to finish.

Running back Devin Neal took center stage, leading the Jayhawks’ offense with 14 carries for 52 yards and two crucial touchdowns. Neal’s steady, determined running weakened the Cougar defense and provided critical points for Kansas when they needed them most.

But it wasn’t just Neal who excelled.

Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels delivered a composed performance that kept the chains moving and created key scoring opportunities.

Kansas’ defense, meanwhile, had one of its best performances of the year. They managed to contain BYU’s explosive offense, which was previously one of the most productive in college football.

The Jayhawks managed to stifle BYU’s run game and consistently pressured their quarterback, forcing rushed throws and key mistakes that helped Kansas maintain control.

The Provo crowd, loud and confident at kick-off, was stunned as Kansas took control in the second half, methodically working their way down the field and refusing to give up.

As ESPN’s Lee Corso would say, “Not so fast, my friend!” Kansas had other plans, and BYU’s playoff dreams suddenly look much more uncertain.
