1. What’s next for BYU?

BYU will have to figure out this run game that is nonexistent ultimately. Averaging 0.4 yards per carry is never a recipe for success. If they continue to run an air raid offense and can’t run the ball, it will be a very long year in the Big 12. The competition is high in this conference, and it will only get more challenging as they move forward.

Next Friday at 9:15 PM, they will host the Cincinnati Bearcats, which are not very good this year, so we may see BYU bounce back after this difficult loss.

What’s next for Kansas football?

The Kansas Jayhawks try and stay hot and will take on the daunting task of taking on the No. 3 ranked and College Football Playoff hopeful Texas Longhorns. The Longhorns have been a buzzsaw this season, and with both teams undefeated, it will be a hot ticket in Austin, Texas.

Kansas will need to improve their defense and not just play efficiently for one-half. The Longhorns are a step up in competition in comparison to BYU. Kansas must play their best game to compete and have a chance.

Next Saturday, the surging Jayhawks will take on the highly touted and ranked Texas Longhorns at 3:30 p.m. ET.
