PROVO, Utah – No. 6 BYU started slowly, but after a defensive stop, Hinckley Ropati and Jake Retzlaff kick-started the offense with a 30-yard second-quarter touchdown.
On 2nd-and-10, Retzlaff found Ropati leaking out of the backfield on a wheel route, and the redshirt senior running back did the rest. Ropati sprinted untouched into the endzone to give BYU a 10-7 lead over Kansas.
