Kansas 17, BYU 13, the Jayhawks hold off BYU at the end, back in their own end zone. And what a gritty, grinded-out win for Kansas. I mean, 17-13, I don't know that I was expecting the highest-scoring game in the world. I think the over-under was in, like, the mid-to-low 50s. But I definitely thought the recipe, the map for KU winning this game,

Starting point is 00:01:39 you probably saw both teams, like, in the 20s or something like that. It obviously ended up being a low-possession game. Both teams had some long drives. BYU had that, like, 17-play drive in the 20s or something like that. It obviously ended up being a low possession game. Both teams had some long drives. BYU had that like 17-play drive in the third quarter. And again, like I didn't really think this was going to be the formula for KU to win, but they did because you gridded and grinded your way through it. Like Devin Neal had 52 rushing yards. Kansas as a team averaged 2.2 yards per carry.

Starting point is 00:02:01 BYU came in 12th in the Big 12 in rushing yards allowed per play, which I think, I don't know, maybe that's just they've put more emphasis on stopping the pass against some other teams because they do have really good linebackers. And I think in this specific game, knowing they were playing Kansas and knowing that how the weather was, they probably loaded up a little bit more to stop the run. So Kansas didn't get their best rushing game in the world. Kansas only had 242 total yards in this game. Again, some of the low possession numbers in this one is going to lower that. We also had a turnover as an offense.

Starting point is 00:02:35 The grass was just so wet because it snowed earlier that day that I think it was advantage for the defense on both sides of the ball because I don't think the offensive players could cut as well. And so it was more straight lines for the defense to kind of run at them and make the tackle. And so Kansas won that game with really a great first drive, a good break that they took advantage of on the punt. I can't call it a muffed punt because it wasn't muffed.

Starting point is 00:03:04 It just hit the guy in the helmet. And then a key end of half stop in both halves. You made an end of half stop in the red zone at the end of the first half with the interception by Melo Dotson and then an end of half stop at the end of the game. And that last part with those end of half stops is such a whirlwind from a lot of these other close losses that we've seen Kansas suffer. I mean, how many of these other close losses have we seen Kansas, you know, have the football under four minutes to go, unable to run the football out or the clock out, or you'll have a long sustained drive, and then they give the ball to the other team, and they go down and

Starting point is 00:03:41 they get a quick touchdown, and it's a quick seven-point turn. Or like in the Illinois game, you throw the pick six on the receiver screen, and there's a quick seven-point turn. They don't just happen at the end of the game. Like you think about the end of the game against West Virginia where you couldn't stop them to those couple of touchdowns. You think about, you know, I guess Kansas State working in for that final field goal at the end of the game, right? There's certain times where, yeah, it's been the end of the game too

Starting point is 00:04:02 that has caused those issues. The UNLV game, unable to make the stop at the end there, but also those end of first half drives, the UNLV game, another one where the end of first half drive as well. And Kansas made a stop in both situations. And in a game that you won by four points, that was the difference. I mean, think about it this way. If BYU, you know, if Melo Dotson doesn't get that interception at the end of the first half, maybe they end up scoring a touchdown there. Maybe they end up just kicking a field goal, right? Even if it's a field goal, it's now 17-16, and instead of BYU being forced to go for it on fourth down at the end of the game,

Starting point is 00:04:32 they're kicking a 25-, 30-yard field goal to take the lead, and then now it's on Kansas to try to go down and score against a really good passing defense on the road in a tough environment with tough weather to pass into so um really a flip and that is what kind of led to the win and overall the defense really stepped up for KU in this one I mean you held BYU to 354 yards of offense uh Kansas got that huge end of first half turnover that we talked about you made the stop at the end of the game your offense had a couple drives in the fourth quarter after taking the lead where you could have put the game away with a touchdown or you could have you know at least got a field goal to get a little bit more

Starting point is 00:05:12 cushion or gotten another first down or two to help run the clock a little bit more and they were unable to do so and you know give credit to the offense that in a game like this I know there was the one turnover the one interception but in a game like this sometimes I know there was the one turnover, the one interception, but in a game like this, sometimes it's just playing game manager and letting your defense win the game. And the defense stepped up and did just that. And it kind of just felt like, you know, after all the bad breaks that maybe you've suffered late in games this season, like some of it has been self-inflicted, I guess you could say, but there have also been some bad breaks that have gone against KU in general. That's how you lose as many straight one-score games. They had lost seven straight one-score games before this one, and they won a one-score game against a team who was,

Starting point is 00:05:53 what, 5-0 this year in one-score games. You finally got some things to swing your way and took advantage. Now, there were actually still some things that didn't go your way. There were a couple like spotages of the ball that didn't go your way there was the uh one pass on on uh i think it was the first play of the final drive for the byu offense where they throw it over the middle and it looked like two ku players were converging on it that maybe they would get an interception at the very least being complete and it tips off i think cornell wheeler's hands and it gets gets caught for a first down and like that was something that didn't go your way there was a tipped ball that Mello Dotson kind of it would

Starting point is 00:06:29 have been a tough interception because he was diving forward but like one that you know very easily could have been an interception the fact that that was not an interception maybe a little bit of a break for them so there were still some breaks that didn't go your way but even then there were some obviously big ones and the biggest break of the game was the pooch punt from Jalen Daniels that hit off the defender's helmet and then the other BYU players tries to jump on it can't it squirts forward more given KU actually even better field position and then they pick it up from there so it just felt like some of those bad breaks or that have been happening late in games like finally you got a few to swing your way and you took advantage like that's part of it too you can get as many breaks in the world as you want. If you don't take advantage, it does

Starting point is 00:07:08 not matter. And give credit to KU because when they did get the breaks, they were ready for it and they took advantage. Obviously the pooch punt by Jalen, also the BYU, they overshot an open deep ball to receiver a couple of times. So you took advantage and that's what good teams do. And obviously the win itself is incredible. You go on the road in one of the toughest places to play in the Big 12. I don't know, maybe even the country. I mean, they sell that place out all the time. It's a late-night game when you're not used to that.

Starting point is 00:07:37 It's in altitude. Like, it was so loud that it caused KU some penalties. It caused Lance Leipold to not be able to get a timeout off on a play that led to a delay of game and backed you up. And maybe you end up getting a touchdown on that drive if you're able to get that timeout off because you'd be at like the two yard line as opposed to eventually getting backed up even more. So like the home field environment was real for BYU and shout out to them. I heard a lot of people who were, you know, in attendance were really, I'm trying to think of the word here, were, I don't know, they were content with how

Starting point is 00:08:10 respectful that the BYU student body and fans and everything were and that it was a really cool environment to be in. So shout out to the BYU fans and everything like that. But I mean, this is an incredible win because for Kansas, for so long, like post Mark Mangino, you couldn't win on the road, period. And now you're going on the road in the Lance Eipel era and beating the number six team in the country. It's incredible. You win in a way that you lost the previous five times of the season and seven straight one score games. And you got a moment even where it felt like, I don't know, certainly in the back of my mind on that last drive,

Starting point is 00:08:50 I think everybody was kind of thinking similar things like, oh, no, here we go again. It's happening again. And I think the moment for me where, oh, no, it's happening again, because it was similar to the West Virginia a little bit here. Obviously, West Virginia, you had to give up two touchdowns late. But after the first touchdown they got,

Starting point is 00:09:09 you have the one drive where you're trying to get a first down and you run that speed option to the short side of the field and you don't get it. And then you end up punting the ball away. They go down and they get a touchdown. That third down and two call

Starting point is 00:09:21 where they motioned Devin Neal out to the left side to where now you are taking your best offensive player away from the ball to where they're saying oh great we don't have to worry about it like even if he just stays in as a running back and you know Jalen keeps the ball it keeps him as a decoy but the fact that you motion him out on that play on a third and two the defense now knows one of two things is happening they're either throwing that swing route to Devin Neal or they're having Jalen Daniels run that quarterback draw to the right which they had already run once or twice before in the very game so and it didn't work at least one of the times they ran it like around the 10 yard line in the first half and so that was one

Starting point is 00:09:59 of those plays was like oh no it's happening again. They weren't able to seal it on offense. There was a questionable play call, maybe too predictable at the end of the game with the lead in the fourth quarter with some of your play calls, but they overcame it. They stayed resilient even after BYU drove down the field. They didn't let it bother them. They made the stop. And now you're sitting at a point with four wins. As I said last week, if this is the down year for Lance Leipold, you still have won more games than any post-Mark Mangino coach in a season. That's pretty cool. And I think Leipold deserves a lot of flowers for this. They could easily finish still 4-8, which still wouldn't feel great, right?

Starting point is 00:10:39 There's two tough games or two tough, one on the road, one at home, games remaining, one against a ranked opponent um but the fact that they stayed together the fact that they stayed resilient the fact that they didn't quit on the year um or they didn't quit on their coach or coaches I think it reflects very well it reflects very well in Lance Leipold it also reflects very well in the player leadership but you know shout out to Lance Leipold for that that's a very important thing to have as a coach and now even in the year where it hasn't always been the peachiest season, so to speak, you became the first team in program history

Starting point is 00:11:11 to win back-to-back games against AP top 25 opponents. You made awesome memories for KU football fans for a couple weeks here at the very least. And, yes, it continues to make you feel a little bit like, man, what if they just want to win, you know, one of those other games, two of those other games earlier in the season. But guess what? Somehow, some way, even if still against the odds,

Starting point is 00:11:32 they now have an actual chance at bowl eligibility. They have to pull another upset senior day against Colorado. Who's been just killing it lately. And then you have a game at Baylor after that. You have to win both. It's not going to be easy, but the fact that you have a chance and then you get to celebrate senior day this upcoming Saturday with this awesome senior class, I hope it's an amazing turnout in Arrowhead because they certainly deserve it. All right, on to our goats of the game next. This is Locked on Jayhawks.

You know what else might have given locked on Jayhawk fans a little fan fuel this week? The moment when Jalen Daniels had that pooch punt and it hits off the BYU players. I'll be honest, when I first saw the play live,

Starting point is 00:12:44 I thought it hit off of, I think it was Quentin Skinner was running there. I thought it hit off Skinner first and then deflected, and the BYU player tried to cover it, and it squirted away, and then Kansas picked it up from there, which would have actually been BYU football, because once Kansas touches it, they can basically fumble, and it's totally fine, and they can bring it back to that original spot.

Starting point is 00:13:04 That on review perfectly hits the BYU players out. Boom. The rest is history.

Don't forget you can check out Locked on College Football, Locked on College Basketball, and we had a KU basketball postgame recap. We also had a Bryson Tiller commitment episode yesterday, so check those out as well. Thank you to the everydayers who already tuned in to both of those. All right, GOATs of the game.

Starting point is 00:13:56 Let's start with our good. We do have a long list in this one. I mean, you win on the road against top 10 opponent. I think that's okay. First good, Bryce Cabledew. I don't know if you would have thought I was going to go with Bryce Cabledew on the first one here. We didn't know if Bryce Cabledew would play. In fact, in our matchups, we brought up Calvin Clements in a player matchup because it sounded like Cabledew was maybe doubtful coming into this game. At least that was the talk during

Starting point is 00:14:20 the week. Now, maybe that was just kind of coach speak to try to get them to prepare for you having a different tackle in there that they would try to attack that guy more. I don't know, but whatever happened for him to go from, it's sounding like he might not play to all of a sudden playing and then leading Kansas in pro football focus grade on the offensive side of the ball. He had an 80 PFF grade. He had an 88 pass blocking grade. Shout out to Bryce Cable, the warrior battling through it. And he had an awesome game blocking grade. Shout out to Bryce Cable, the warrior battling through it. And he had an awesome game for the Jayhawks. Dean Miller and Dylan Woodkey. I kind of lumped these together, both defensive ends on the opposite side. So you get the sack on the first drive for Dean Miller, who wound up with one other tackle, but both were meaningful. One

Starting point is 00:15:01 tackle was the sack. The other tackle for Dean Miller was that third down. They ran that outside option on BYU's last offensive possession. It was the third and six, third and seven. And they ran to the right side, and Dean Miller, along with Mello Dotson, I believe, came up with the tackle on the third down to force the fourth and six, and then they get the five-yard penalty and don't convert. So his two tackles were pretty big. He also had three pressures in the game, which tied for the team lead. There were three players who had three pressures for KU, Miller, Woodkey, and Grant.

Starting point is 00:15:28 And then Woodkey, as I just mentioned, three pressures. So you're getting six total between the two guys. Woodkey also had four tackles. He had a sack as well, which I'm trying to remember. I think he came in the second quarter, second quarter, third quarter. And then he also, Woodkey did, he was the guy who hit the quarterback, Jake Retz second quarter, second quarter, third quarter. And then he also, what he did, he was the guy who hit the quarterback, Jake Retzlaff, on the fourth and 11. And so I don't know for sure. I mean, he might have thrown this way anyway, but I'd like to

Starting point is 00:15:54 think that Jake Retzlaff knew it was fourth and 11, obviously. I mean, there's a chance that he knows, hey, he's throwing to a guy who's three, four yards shy of the sticks that he could easily run for the first down in general, right? But I think ideally he would like to throw it to the sticks or beyond it or to the end zone in that situation. The fact that he was pressured by Dylan Woodkey and Woodkey hit him, I think forced him to speed up his process and have to throw it to that guy. And KU had two guys kind of guarding it with Cornell Wheeler and Marvin Grant to kind of sandwich him and crunch him to the ground. And so I think because of Woodkey's pressure, it forced him to throw it underneath and be short of that first down conversion. So Woodkey had some big

Starting point is 00:16:35 moments. Both of them were 69 or higher on pro football focus, top seven on the KU defense. So Jalen Daniels, I'm going to give a goatee or two. This doesn't seem like the best Jalen game in the world. And you look at the raw stats, 169 passing yards, you had that one interception, get another one that another pass that was a near interception. How good of a game really was? Well, the yards are down because again, the possessions were low, but also they were doing some of the game manager things. Your defense is playing well. The weather's not ideal. The BYU pass defense is the best in the Big 12.

Starting point is 00:17:12 And yet he averaged 8.9 yards per throw. I put this up on Blue Sky. I've been doing a KU stat of the day over there. Jalen Daniels averaged 8.9 yards per pass attempt in the win over number six BYU. Prior to Saturday, BYU had only given up six or more yards per pass two times all season. And the previous high was 7.3. So he blew by the yards per attempt of what BYU traditionally allowed. And if you're talking, you know, the biggest plays of the first half, obviously the mellow Dotson interception, probably about as big of a play in the first half. The other one though, is that fourth and sixth conversion from Jalen Daniels to Luke Graham.

Starting point is 00:17:54 That's about as big as they come as well. He also had a 63 total QBR, which I think that's, I mean, that means that you're giving your team a more than 60% chance to win. And also when you consider in that they're the best pass defense in the Big 12, I think if you graded that on a curve, it'd come out even better. And Pro Football Focus actually graded him as KU's second highest rated offense player only to Bryce Campbell do. And that doesn't even mention the perfect punt that he had that may have been the game's biggest play of everything. So Jalen Daniels for the, is it, I think Lou Groza is the kicker award.

Starting point is 00:18:26 Ray Guy is the punter award. Jalen Daniels for the Ray Guy award. Okay, Marvin Grant gets a good go at here. Ten tackles. He was laying the lumber. He was out for blood the way he was hitting people in this one. I mean, you think of the one where he knocks it away from the receiver on the little crossing route that ends up incomplete.

Starting point is 00:18:42 But he also had three pressures and a pass breakup in the game. So he was great on blitzes for KU in this one, getting to the quarterback, and he had the final tackle along with Cornell Wheeler. Marvin Grant was awesome for KU. Quentin Skinner gets a good go. I know only two catches, but 51 yards, both were huge. He had a 29-yarder to set up a first-drive touchdown, and then he had a really good 22-yard contested catch later on.

Starting point is 00:19:06 KU was unable to capitalize after that and score, but it was an unbelievable catch nonetheless. J.B. Brown gets a good go. Six tackles, he had one pressure and a quarterback hit. He also had the tackle on the second and seven play on their final drive once they got inside your 20-yard line. He was only targeted once in coverage, which in a game where BYU was attacking the middle relentlessly

Starting point is 00:19:28 and they even brought it up on the broadcast that that was something BYU wanted to do because you have these two stud corners on the outside, but teams feel like they can pass on KU's linebackers and safeties a little bit more. And Brown was only targeted one time and gave up one yard. So in a game where they were trying to do that, they didn't really target J.B. Brown as much, and he had a big game for KU.

Starting point is 00:19:48 Luke Graham had four catches for 77 yards, had the big fourth down. He was KU's leading receiver in terms of receptions and yards. He gets a good go as well. Mello and Kobe, same way that I grouped together Dean Miller and Dylan Woodkey, I'm grouping together Mello Dotson and Kobe Bryant. BYU, like I said, didn't want to go outside very often. And that was a tip of the cap to what you have with Mello Dotson and Kobe Bryant. And some of the times that they did go outside, it didn't work.

Starting point is 00:20:14 They were targeted nine times between the two of them. They went five of nine for 55 yards. So that's only what, like six yards per attempt, which is a really low number, and you got an interception. I mean, that's a really good passer rating against. And obviously that interception was as critical as they come late in the game, just locked down stuff from Melo Dotson and Kobe Bryant. And then Devin Neal, similar to Jalen Daniels here with Devin. This is not the most outstanding box score in the world for Devin Neal.

Starting point is 00:20:51 Not a huge stat line, 14 carries for 52 yards, 3.7 yards per carry, but he earned everything he got. BYU was keen on the run. They were trying to prevent it from happening. He was finding the hidden yards when he could. KU's line wasn't getting a huge push in this one, but he had both of KU's touchdowns, so that has to matter for something, too. And I think he really – like, if you just put your – I don't know. Like, baseball has war, right? Wins above replacement. If you had, like, a replacement-level player at running back, they might average two yards per carry in that game.

Starting point is 00:21:20 So the fact that Devin Neal averaged 3.7, I think, speaks well to what he did. As far as the bad goats here, I don't have as 3.7, I think speaks well to what he did. As far as the bad goats here, I don't have as many. Obviously, he went on the road against top 10 opponent. I will say, we talk a lot about the game management stuff. It completely worked out because the biggest play of the game probably was that pooch punt off the BYU player. The fact that KU had to burn a timeout before punting the football in the fourth quarter of a game at the time that you were down and BYU almost scored at the end, you could have used that extra timeout. That wouldn't have been ideal if you didn't make that stop at the end of the game or have that muffed punt. But I'll follow that up. Quick compliment to the staff.

Starting point is 00:21:59 I did love that they had Luke Grimm back in punt return. Cold weather game, prioritizing catching it in a game like that. So I thought that was good. Taiwan Berryhill gets a, I don't it's just it's tough uh he gave up the long wheel route touchdown to the running back he was targeted three times gave up 34 yards and the touchdown and then although he actually had one of his better games in terms of like run defense but KU didn't have a great run defense game overall. I think Cornell Wheeler missed three tackles, so you didn't get a lot from the linebackers outside of J.B. Brown. Maybe that's just what I'll put on here.

Starting point is 00:22:31 And then the tight ends didn't really give you anything in the passing game. You did have the one-third and I think eight conversion to Jared Casey. That was a good play for you, but you didn't really get much from him in the passing game, which has been kind of a theme this year. You'd like to see more ideally, but all of them like graded poorly in blocking on pro football focus and pass blocking or run blocking. All right,

All right, what's next for KU football? So they're back at home this Saturday against Colorado on senior day. And that's going to be, I'll be really interested to see, I think this will be the best crowd

Starting point is 00:25:02 of any game. And I don't just mean that from the KU attendance. I mean that from overall attendance. It's a 2.30 game, which I feel like that's the most ideal for people getting out there. Obviously, 11 a.m. may be a little bit tougher for people coming from Lawrence or Topeka, potentially, to get out there for that.

Starting point is 00:25:19 So 2.30, that's good. Colorado, really good opponent. Colorado will probably bring a good amount of fans in attendance because this is their first time playing against Kansas since rejoining the Big 12, and it's close enough that they'll probably have some people out there. And then also Kansas coming off the back-to-back top 25 wins, having a little bit of momentum, and it's senior day,

Starting point is 00:25:38 so you're going to have extra families in attendance. And it's a big senior class, and I think they've done so much that people respect what they have done for this program that I think it'll be an awesome, you know, filled out. Like it wouldn't surprise me if we get 50,000 for this one, which would certainly be pretty cool for this one. And then after that, it is at Baylor. I still don't know what like APR numbers are for KU.

Starting point is 00:26:03 So if you go five and seven, you have a chance at making a bowl game, but it goes down to like APR numbers are for KU. So if you go five and seven, you have a chance at making a bowl game, but it goes down to like APR graduation rates. So for Kansas, obviously the most ideal thing in the world would be winning your final two games and being bowl eligible. But if at the very least you can win one of the next two, then you at least have a chance based on that. Again, I don't know where KU ranks in that. Like, do they have good APR grades? Do they have bad? I don't know. Maybe that's something'll we'll try to do a little bit of digging on as we get closer but just win the games take care of business and then you don't have to worry about it so we'll preview

Starting point is 00:26:32 that game coming up later this week with KU Colorado certainly going to be tough because Colorado will throw it around the field and we saw KU really struggle with the team who did that with TCU so uh that's going to be interesting but also Col, Colby Bryant, Mello Dotson versus Travis Hunter. I mean, that itself is a show for this one between the two teams. All right, that'll do it for this episode of Locked on Jayhawks.

Starting point is 00:26:55 We'll have a KU North Carolina Wilmington preview on Tuesday. That on your next Locked on Jayhawks. See you then.
