Kansas football and no. 8 BYU is tied at 10-10 after two quarters of play Saturday, in a Big 12 Conference game played in Provo, Utah.

The Jayhawks took their first lead of the game on a rushing score by running back Devin Neal before the Cougars went on to score 10 unanswered points to take a 10-7 lead. But Kansas later added a field goal of its own to tie the game at 10-10. And that one Jayhawks also just saw cornerback Mello Dotson intercept a pass in the end zone just before the half, ending a drive that could have ended in a score for BYU.

Kansas football vs BYU prediction

Kansas was able to pull out a win at home last season against BYU, and has the potential to do so on the road this weekend. Of course, the Jayhawks will face a Cougars team that is in a much better position than it was a year ago. However, Kansas should be able to go on the road and get this done in a 41-31 victory.
