BYU’s undefeated season is over.

The No. 6 Cougars couldn’t post another late comeback Saturday night in a 17-13 home loss to Kansas. BYU failed to convert a 4th-and-11 at the Kansas 16-yard-line with 47 seconds to go as Jake Retzlaff’s pass to Chase Roberts ended up three yards short of a first down.

BYU needed to get 11 yards because of a false start penalty as they first lined up for the play.
