A 9 and 0 BYU team SHOULD handle a losing record KU team. That didn't happen because BYU botched that game.
It's all optics, and the result was a loss to BYU. A BYU loss gave media more ammunition to shoot BYU and the B12.
A win against KU, none of what you've hearing/seeing would of happened. This is WHY BYU can't lose games, not this way and not this late in the season.
