Kansas has played WAY beyond their typical capabilities. Did ANYONE have 2-5 Kansas playing Kansas State so close!?
When it comes to a rivalry game, anything can happen. The team that has struggled more in the season sees the game as an opportunity to salvage the season. Beyond that, emotions run high and kids find that extra level of competition to pull off the upset.
I know the filthy Utes are down. And our BYU Cougars is riding high. So beautifully high.
But it doesn't matter.
The BYU Utah game is going to be just like this. It won't be a blowout. It won't be an easy win. The Utes are going to fight like crazy to win the game. They're going to bring everything they can, and they'll have home field advantage. Remember that the KSU game was played at KSU. If that game is played at Kansas I think Kansas pulls off the upset. We play at Rice Eccles and their fans will be out for blood. It's the only shot at a salvaged season.
Our team needs to be focused and disciplined for that game.
Go Cougs!
