Provo, Utah witnessed a significant event as BYU football faced its first setback of the 2024 season against the Kansas Jayhawks. This encounter held great importance not only for the team but also for their bowl game aspirations. The Jayhawks, making their first visit to Provo, emerged victorious with a score of 17 - 13, improving their overall record to 4 - 6.

Key Moments in the Game

BYU football had several opportunities in the red zones but failed to convert them into touchdowns, settling for only six points. This was a crucial aspect that affected the outcome of the game. Additionally, Kansas CB Cobee Bryant made a significant impact by trolling BYU football and their No. 6 ranking. After the game at LaVell Edwards Stadium, Bryant took to TikTok to share his thoughts with his 112,100 followers. He posted a dance video set to the song “Clock Dat” by FendiDa Rappa with the caption, “No way they was #6 in da country.” It's important to note that the video contains song lyrics that may not be suitable for all audiences, so viewers should exercise discretion.

Defensive Standouts

Bryant's performance on the defensive side was notable. He finished the game with three tackles and played a crucial role in Kansas' win. As one of the top defensive backs in the Big 12, his presence was felt throughout the game. Last year against BYU in Lawrence, he had a forced fumble that he scooped and scored, along with an interception. His 2 - 0 record against BYU in his college career adds to his significance.

Upcoming Challenges

BYU will now look to bounce back and get back in the win column. This week, they travel to Tempe to face nationally-ranked Arizona State. Meanwhile, Bryant and Kansas welcome red-hot Colorado to Lawrence. This upcoming series of games presents new challenges and opportunities for both teams.
