Sep 11, 2023, 11:16 AM | Updated: Sep 12, 2023, 10:42 am

PROVO, Utah – BYU football has a kickoff time for its first Big 12 Conference game against the Kansas Jayhawks.

Kickoff for BYU/Kansas on Saturday, September 23, will take place at 1:30 p.m. (MDT) and air on ESPN.

BYU is 2-0 on the year after defeating Sam Houston and Southern Utah at home in respective weeks. They go on the road to take on Arkansas from the SEC in week three, then lock in for Big 12 play with an opener against Kansas.

Kansas is 2-0 this season after home wins over Missouri State and Illinois. The Jayhawks go on the road this week to face the Nevada Wolf Pack on September 16 in Reno before hosting BYU.

The Big 12’s Preseason Offensive Player of the Year is Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels. Daniels missed the Missouri State game due to back stiffness but returned in week two.

BYU has only faced Kansas once in its history. That was the 1992 Aloha Bowl on Christmas Day. Kansas won that game 23-20.

BYU/Kansas have never squared off on the gridiron in the regular season.
