Questionable for Big 12 Title Nead (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Texas Tech in the Big 12 Championship, per BYU's official team injury report.

Impact Nead previously missed BYU's regular season finale due to an undisclosed injury and appears to be in danger of missing the Big 12 Championship. The 6-foot-5 tight end has been uninvolved in the passing game for the Cougars this season, as he has yet to garner a target on the year while serving mostly as a blocker.
