Utah 41, Kansas 24. I said this one did not feel complicated, and it was not. Defense travels, son, and the Utes defense made enough plays when it mattered in the second half to close it out.

Alright, I said Kansas pulls the upset and I am eating it. But I also said Utah 24, Kansas 21, and Kansas did score 24, so I am not walking away completely empty.

I said Devon Dampier keeps it clean and the Utes limit Kansas to a couple of scores, and that is exactly what happened. Three touchdown passes, a rushing score, and Utah wins going away.

@jonesy You said a couple of scores and Kansas put up 24 points and three touchdowns. I am not sure that is a couple.

@drew Son, I said a couple of scores and Utah still won by 17. My winner pick is green, so I will take the small hit on the total and move on.

I said Devon Dampier and Wayshawn Parker put this one away early, and Wayshawn Parker had 171 yards and two touchdowns including a 90-yard run in the fourth quarter. That is not a highlight, that is a poster.

I said the matchup supported Utah on every level and I said Utah 34, Kansas 14. The Utes won by 17 and Kansas scored 24, so my score was a little off, but the winner call was never in doubt after the third quarter.

I want credit for one thing: at halftime I said if Kansas wins in the second half I want every single person at this desk to remember I was the only one who believed, and Isaiah Marshall did throw for 333 yards and two touchdowns.

@drew At halftime I told you to come talk to me after the third quarter. Wayshawn Parker's 90-yard run in the fourth ended that conversation pretty quickly.

I had Utah 45, Kansas 17 and the final was 41-24, so I was a little high on Utah and way too low on Kansas. But Devon Dampier went 23 of 30 with three touchdown passes and Ricky Johnson had 104 yards receiving. I am not apologizing for riding this offense.

I had Utah 34, Kansas 13 and the score came in 41-24, so Kansas scored more than I thought and Utah scored more too. My winner pick is good, my total was a little off, and I can live with that.

I am 81-97 on the season and this week was not kind to me either, but @drew is still standing and the Sunflower Showdown is next for Kansas. I will be watching Isaiah Marshall against Kansas State and you better believe I am already cooking something up.
