It was the kind of game that left as much frustration as elation.
The key, though, was that No. 13 Utah beat Kansas on Black Friday, 31-21.
The Utes took advantage of the Jayhawks’ red-zone issues — which included three interceptions, one for a pick-six — to win their 10th game of the season.
It was an effort that led fans to understandably be both happy for a win, while exasperated with the overall performance.
Here’s a sampling of how people reacted on social media platform X to the tighter-than-expected win.
Playoff hopes saving play.

This is Kansas. Not Oregon or TT. Kansas….

Man, as dark as it was last year to turn it around and win 10 games is a tremendous accomplishment. Worth marinating on that before the inevitable off-season speculation begins.

Let’s not let the last 2 weeks sour how we should feel about at 10 win season. Incredible turnaround from last year for @Utah_Football

Kansas is gifting Utah a victory with INTs in the EZ and RZ, but Utes don’t look like a playoff team – all their style points came during the portion of the season when style points don’t matter

Devon Dampier’s play fakes are magical.

Kansas needs to disband its football program.

It’s Kansas Senior Day; they’re fighting for bowl eligibility, so you know they’re going to give it everything they have to pull this off. Can’t let it happen.

Have I been living under a rock? This is the first time I’ve heard the line referred to as the Wasatch Front…and I kinda dig it.

.@Kscott_2 warned us about this game 4 weeks ago.

Been a big advocate of Larry Simmons. Glad he’s getting some action his way. He makes phenomenonal plays.

What happened to our defense during the bye week? Went from a top defensive team in the nation to Swiss cheese

This defense man…

I also think that weeks of uncertainty surrounding your head coach/DC and what the future holds is taking a toll on this team. Guys are thinking about the future and don’t know who’s going to be where…that’s hard on 20+ year olds.

utah being UNSTOPPABLE for most of big 12 play only to look like dog water these final two weeks is so puzzling to me

Us Ute fans, know how to deal with a bad offense. We are not equipped to deal with a bad defense
— KiYi (@Uteman_forever) November 28, 2025
BLAKE COTTON YOU ABSOLUTE DOG!!!!
— 🟤🐻 (@BrownbearSLC) November 28, 2025
Even if we pull this out, what an embarrassing performance with everything on the line
