Why a loss to Kansas might be the least of BYU’s worries right now
BYU head coach Kalani Sitake talks to his players during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Kansas Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023, in Lawrence, Kan. At some point, the Cougars’ loss to Kansas simply became inevitable.
Mix that in with BYU’s existing structural problems — like its inability to run the ball, or the turnovers and perplexing penalties and timeouts that hurt the Cougars on Saturday — and you can see how BYU was careening to a 38-27 loss to Kansas for its Big 12 debut. The Jayhawks gashed an undermanned defense in the second half. After defensive coordinator Jay Hill adjusted his scheme to deal with quarterback Jalon Daniels, Kansas responded by rushing for 172 yards after the intermission .
Maybe that played a part in why BYU rushed for just 9 yards on 22 carries. It also allowed three sacks and several more hurries.
