Top Performers from BYU’s Dominant Win Over No. 13 Kansas State
BYU has been looking for a marquee win since joining the Big 12 in 2023. The Cougars got what they were looking for on Saturday night with a dominant 38-9 win over no. 13 Kansas State. BYU made a statement with the win, showing the rest of the league how dangerous they can be with a dominant defense. Here were the top individual performers from BYU’s win over the Wildcats.

Frankly, every starter on defense could be on this list. For the purpose of this article, we’ve narrowed it down to four defenders that impacted the game the most.
Jack Kelly was everywhere in this game. Kelly had 4 total tackles including a team-high 2 tackles for loss. He had 1 sack, 1 quarterback hit, and he was the defender that forced the fumble late in the first half.
Kelly has lived up to the preseason hype in every sense.
Parker Kingston put the exclamation point on BYU’s win with a 90-yard punt return for a touchdown. Kingston bobbled the initial punt, scooped it up under duress and outran the entire KSU punt team for the score. That play ended the Wildcats’ hopes of a comeback.
YO @ParkerKingston THIS WAS CRAZY!!!!!

Harrison Taggart has turned into a dominant force for the BYU defense. Taggart led the Cougars with 10 total tackles and he had an interception in the second half that set up a BYU touchdown. Taggart is a budding superstar under Jay Hill’s guidance.
What a performance from the true freshman. Sione Moa originally committed to Navy out of high school before flipping to BYU after his mission. The former 5A MVP out of Timpview was excellent, especially in the second half.
He led the Cougars with 76 yards on 15 carries, including this 21-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Moa got better and better as the game progressed.
Rumble young man rumble.

Tyler Batty had his first career interception against Kansas State. Batty dropped into coverage and intercepted an attempted screen pass. That interception was a critical part of a BYU run that flipped the game on its head.
Jake Retzlaff wasn’t perfect against Kansas State, there were a few throws he would like to have back. He did, however, protect the football. That was the most important thing that BYU’s offense did against Kansas State.
He was also opportunistic. Retzlaff took advantage of the short fields provided by the BYU defense. Retzlaff finished the game 15/21 for 149 yards and 2 touchdowns. Capitalizing on those turnovers was the difference in the game. Kansas State kicked field goals. BYU scored touchdowns.
Even though he wasn’t putting up gaudy numbers, his performance against Kansas State was a step in the right direction.
True freshman Tommy Prassas had the scoop-and-score late in the first half. Prassas did a great job of maintaining his balance and keeping his feet, allowing him to return the fumble for a touchdown.

Imagine an alternate scenario where Prassas stumbles and doesn’t score. That could have potentially changed the trajectory of the entire game.
That touchdown opened the floodgates on a 28-0 BYU run.

Kansas City nightclub shooting leaves 2 women dead, others wounded
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – An overnight shooting at a bar-nightclub in Kansas City has left two women dead and two more victims wounded.
The Kansas City Police Department stated that Jackson County Sheriff’s deputies had been working off duty at a nightclub in the area of 28th Street and Southwest Boulevard when they heard gunshots just after 2 a.m.
Kansas City police were notified via dispatch and when they arrived to the scene, they found three women suffering from gunshot wounds. First responders declared one of the victims dead at the scene, while the other two were taken to the hospital.
One of the women taken to the hospital died from her wounds there. Police said the third woman suffered injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
Officers learned that a fourth victim, a man, had been taken to the hospital by a personal car and was said to have been in critical condition.
KCPD stated that the victims were inside the nightclub when there was an interaction with one or more suspects that escalated and led to shots being fired, which struck the victims.
As of 7 a.m. on Sunday, police had no suspect information. Southwest Boulevard was closed to traffic from 27th Street to 29th Street as police continued processing the scene.
Anyone with information has been asked to contact homicide detectives at 816-234-5043 or the TIPS Hotline anonymously at 816-474-TIPS. There is a reward of up to $25,000 for information submitted anonymously to the TIPS hotline.

Kansas City Royals news: Should Seth Lugo throw more heaters?
I’m of two minds about the Royals as spring training begins. On one hand, they look like a clear playoff contender. I love the run prevention across the board, though the depth behind the pitchers likely to be on the Opening Day roster means some health luck will be needed. The other mind is that I’m just not sold on the idea that Kansas City’s offseason moves made it any better.
I liked the additions of Matt Strahm and Alex Lange to what looks like a fully stocked bullpen. But I’m not sold on the offense being markedly different with Isaac Collins and Lane Thomas on board and Jonathan India coming back.
This puts a lot of pressure on Jac Caglianone to make significant improvement, which he is certainly capable of doing. Having Carter Jensen around for a full season will also help. Neither of those situations is related to offseason transactions. Ultimately, I fear that too much has been pinned on the effects of moving in the fences at the K. It will help hitters and hurt pitchers — that’s just physics. But the key is whether those effects shake out in the Royals’ favor. Of that, I will believe it when I see it, so Royals fans have to hope that the math behind this bold decision proves to be spot-on.
