Afterward, Cougar fans and others expressed their emotions on social media. Here are some of the reactions.

That loss doesn’t doom BYU’s season, but the pressure becomes immense going into Tempe next week.

One last thing to get off my chest. Jake played pretty poorly tonight. Horrible RedZone pick. Audible into the 3rd down option. Over threw a TD to Lassiter. A Rod didn't help with the play calling but overall, Jake was bad.

End of the first half execution, cost BYU points.

An unlucky touch on a QB punt gave Kansas the possession that won the game.
Three and out after the INT with field position was tough.
1st and 10 at the 15, three straight runs and a false start to setup 4th & 11.
Tough…
The entire Big-12 Race turned on a Pooch Punt.

Wild.
I think everyone but Kansas thought Y would come up with magic on 4th down at the end. Wow

Can't wait for @CFBPlayoff selection committee to drop BYU (9-1) behind 10 SEC teams in Tuesday's rankings

We've got ourselves a CFP elimination game next week in Tempe when BYU visits ASU.

Ball game. Overrated and exposed. 9-1. Still everything to play for but that won’t cut it. Always #GoCougs but y’all didn’t prepare this week.

Sorry BYU friends, I was really hoping you would pull it out

This is the pooch punt from Jalon Daniels that hit off a BYU player and was recovered by Kansas, leading to the go-ahead and eventual game-winning score. What a way to take down an unbeaten. pic.twitter.com/TsUfuH0JqN

Coaching lost this game.

I am sad, folks.

There's still a total chaos scenario in the Big 12 where 8 teams finish 6-3 and it's Baylor vs. Kansas State in Arlington.

OK, goodnight gang.
