Kansas 17, BYU 13
0:46— The undefeated magic has officially run out.
On fourth and 11 with the game on the line, Jake Retzlaff fired to Chase Roberts for eight yards, being stopped just short of the first down and turning the ball back over to Kansas. Kansas 17, BYU 13.
8:27— After nearly three and a half quarters, BYU's defense finally makes a potentially game-changing play.
With Kansas marching down the field and on a critical third and 12, Marque Collins picked off an errant Jalon Daniels throw in bounds on the sideline to give the Cougars new life. Kansas 17, BYU 13.
13:19— Kansas is back on top.
Devin Neal found the end zone on a 3-yard run to put the Jayhawks ahead by four points. Kansas 17, BYU 13.

BYU 13, Kansas 10
4:30— After burning more than 10 minutes of clock, BYU takes the lead on its first drive of the half.

BYU 10, Kansas 10
It was a tough ending to a somewhat awkward half.
Despite BYU averaging more than six yards per carry, the Cougars chose to throw an end zone fade on the Kansas 9-yard line, only for Jake Retzlaff to be intercepted and miss out on the chance to take the lead.
BYU has now been inside the Jayhawks' 10-yard line twice, yet only has three points to show for it.
The Cougars didn't look anything close to terrible in the game's first 30 minutes, but they were far from the caliber that's put them at No. 6 in the College Football Playoff rankings.
Jake Retzlaff is currently 11 for 16 in passing for 115 yards, a touchdown and an interception. BYU has ran the ball 14 times for 85 yards, with LJ Martin leading the way with 7.2 yards per carry.
The Cougars will receive the second half kickoff in hopes of erasing Retzlaff's red zone mistake by quickly pulling ahead.
